How to Sell Activity Tickets as Part of a Main Event

When running an event with optional activities, such as checkpoint bypasses, roadblocks, or other paid add-ons, selling these as separate ticket types can lead to duplicate attendees in your check-in tool. Using Items for Sale instead keeps your attendee list clean and simplifies the checkout experience.

How to Use Items for Sale for Activity Add-Ons

1. From your fundraiser builder, navigate to Fundraising Drivers > Items for Sale in the sidebar.
2. Click Add Item to create a new item for each activity (e.g., Roadblock Bypass, Checkpoint Skip).
3. Set the item name, description, price, and quantity available.
4. Click Save, then Publish Changes in the top-right corner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Items for Sale appear on the same checkout page as tickets?

Yes, buyers can add items to their cart alongside their registration ticket in a single checkout session.

Why shouldn't I just create separate event tickets for each activity?

Selling activities as separate ticket types requires attendees to enter their information for each ticket, and each entry will appear as a separate attendee in your check-in tool. Using Items for Sale avoids both of these issues.

If I use items for sale, will I be able to check attendees in for the activities?

Items for Sale are not tracked in the check-in tool, so you will not be able to check attendees in for specific activities through Trellis. If check-in tracking is important for your activities, consider selling them as separate tickets instead, keeping in mind that this will create duplicate attendees in your check-in tool.
