We have some instances where users need to be able to register for multiple events. For example, a reunion weekend where there is a golf tournament, lunch event, and dinner with a keynote speaker. Users should be able to register for one or all events. In this case, we want the events to be on the same form so users do not need to register multiple times on different pages. This functionality is available in BBNC and is needed in NXT online registration forms in order for that to be a viable long-term event registration solution for our organization.
I spent a whole day trying to figure out how to do this only to find out I could not. Most other event registration softwares we have used enable the user to pick multiple events in one cart and only pay once. We use this especially for Homecoming.
I was able to group the events under Homecoming, but not created a grouped cart.
The new forms are so nice, with the ability to add to the calendar, send the receipt gather the attendees in one location, etc. They give so much great information on individiual events.
The only thing I can see that is missing and would cause us to use something else would be the cart option for our weekend events like Homecoming.
Yes, for Alumni Weekend we need one registration form for multiple events. I can finagle a registration form that lists several events that the registrants can select/pay for, but actually they only register for the 'umbrella' event, so we can't automatically track ATTENDANCE at the individual events. I hope you can figure this out--it would be a huge selling point for many organizations.
If we host the same event over multiple days with different ticket options (same for each day) but able to see this on the same page. As well if people want to buy specific tickets for one day and a different type of ticket the next day there should be a way once the tickets for option A on day one is full it closes and still leave option B open and likewise if option B on day 2 is full that option A still be open. And have this all on one form so that people dont have to fill out their information 2 or more times.
We often host events where multiple layers or activities occur on the same day and were forced to use the Eventbrite platform for a better registrant experience.
I can't use blackbaud for anything other than one-offs due to this.
Yes please! We have a work around, but it's a huge pain and takes a lot of time when we want to contact people who registered for a particular piece of a multiple-event series.
My team needs this. Otherwise we have to use different software for event registration.
I'm currently struggling to find a solution for our Homecoming Weekend registrations. While BBNC was archaic in most ways, this was the one solution it DID offer! Please implement the multi-event "shopping cart" style feature in NXT as soon as possible! (And please make sure it doesn't not unnecessarily require our guests to reenter their information for EVERY sub-event!) Love, Stressed Out Event Professionals Everywhere :-)
This is most definitely needed for a favorable user experience.
I agree. I'm working to set up my reunion registration now and I already know it won't allow me to provide the best possible user experience. I also need to be able to add text headings to deliniate activities that will be held on specific days. Would be great to have some sort of filtering functionality so if someone indicates they are only attending on Saturday, for example, they don't see the Friday and Sunday options.
I agree, this is very imprtant if we are going to be able to use the system for multiple activities for one major event.
I love it, that would help us with registrations for our virtual programs!
Definitely needed for reunion weekend!
Most definitely a necessary functionality for large events that span several days.
Yes!
This would be an amazing feature add.
