The advanced registration type allows you to bundle multiple items together for the registration fee, giving the opportunity to credit different accounts in your Chart of Accounts. For example, you may wish to bundle together the event registration fee along with additional items for event materials.

5. Enter Attendees Included. This option allows you to include more than one attendee for this registration type. For example, if this advanced type is to be used for a golf foursome, you would enter 4.
6. Limit Per Purchase (0 if unlimited): Specify the number of registrations of this type available to purchase in a single registration. For example, if your members may only purchase a single ticket of this type for this event, enter "1" here.

Member Pricing vs Non-Member Pricing: Addendum

GrowthZone validates membership on a per-registration basis, not on a per-attendee basis. This means that a member can log in and receive member pricing for anyone they choose to register, regardless if that attendee is a member or not. There is currently an improvement in development that will enable GrowthZone to limit a member to a single registration, but we are unable to accommodate development of true per-attendee validation at this time.

Recommendations:

• On the event description, make sure to mention in the description that said members are not allowed to register non-members at the member rate. It may be good to add examples: “Non-members, spouses, etc are not allowed to register at the member rate. Those that do will be notified and could result in a canceled registration.”
• You are able to add descriptions to each registration type, which may help give more information when they are deciding which registration types to add.
• Utilize the registration instructions and the event confirmation messaging to help with this message as well.
