Encourage people who can't attend an event to still donate, without having to purchase a ticket

Stop leaving money on the table! If you are running an event with the purpose of raising money for a cause, one of the easiest ways to increase your earning potential is to ask people who can't attend the event to leave a donation instead. Many other major ticketing platforms do not do this but we consistently see 50%+ increases in volume from events who switch over to making this simple ask.

Live Example

  1. Head to our live Events demo campaign here: https://demo.givebutter.com/events
  2. Click "Donate & Tickets"
  3. Choose "No thanks, I'd just like to donate"
  4. There it is! A simple ask for a donation in lieu of a ticket purchase

Pro tip: You can pair this feature with others like Add a Donation, Custom Donation Amounts, Recurring Donations, and Trackable Links + Leaderboards for maximum fundraising event ROI!
