Events

Currently, a URL can only direct to the main event page. This means that if we advertise an event on our main university website or in an email with a "Register Here" button, they are taken to another page and have to click another "Register" button. It would be less confusing for our older alumni and more mainstreamed for our younger alumni if it was possible for a separate url to direct them to the event page and automatically open the event registration form. This wouldn't be to replace the main link to the event page, but to be an extra option we could use when advertising a event registration elsewhere.

These should integrate more seamlessly. Lots of schools must do reunion related giving programs. Ideas to integrate pages. When someone completes an event registration, we should be able to choose to redirect them to the coordinating giving page. This will allow people to see how far they are to the fundraising goal. It would be nice if you could turn on a fundraising page as a part of the event registration process that shows a little more content than the Gift Ticket option (like the progress to the fundraising goal) as a step during event registration.

We offline register our staff members and students for all of our events; however, if the event has tickets with fees, the fees are being calculated. We need the ability to override the price of a ticket to make it free/complimentary.

Would love a customizable section that shows up on the right either under the Venue Details or Contact Information sections where we can recognize our event sponsors. The customization should include the ability to recognize sponsors for various tiers with either text or images.

It would be very helpful to add information to the event listing page. Now the event listing page shows only the upcoming and past events but it is not possible to add a short text or description on top of the page which would be very helpful to inform our community. thank you for looking into this!

We require users to enter a mailing address when registering for events. It would be helpful if this address could be used when syncing the registrations with Raiser's Edge, especially with the common names.

I need to be able to manually add a registrant from the backend, even if doing so will take the event over capacity. Currently, because the Admin registration page is the same as the normal view, if a subevent is sold out (at capacity) I do not have the ability to register someone for it even though I am the Admin

We would want the capability to have a waitlist feature for events. Once the event exceeds capacity - we can waitlist individuals. Automatic waitlist : If any of the registered users cancel their registration, Waitlist #1 - gets an automatic confirmation email to the event (this is how an automatic waitlist works). Admins should have the ability to manually move users in the waitlist (For example - If waitlist #5 (Mr. John) is a donor, the admin should be able to manually assign waitlist #1 to Mr. John - so Mr. John can skip the queue) Manual Waitlist : Admins can see all waitlisted individuals and choose who to admit to the event Important - The alumni should not be able to see who are the others on the waitlist. The waitlist should be accessible by admins only Note- Request submitted by Nikita (Almabase Team) on behalf of Erin Kinney (Associate Director of Alumni Relations at Punahou School) and Lynn Parrish (Events Coordinator at Punahou School)

Could we add event description to the page showing our upcoming events? This could either be a new custom field, or it could show the first 100 or so characters from the event details section. This would be helpful for making the upcoming events page more useful and user friendly.

If guests only bought 4 tickets or 6 tickets, I still wanted them to have $5.00 off each ticket. The discount code for total cart value using percentage is not a good workaround in this case either. It would be more useful to have a discount per ticket, not just the final price.
