Add & Sell Sponsorships

This page will help you with adding and selling sponsorships for event in Auctria.

💼 Ready to offer sponsorships for your event?

This page walks you through how to set them up and sell them—whether that’s online, in person, or directly through your admin tools.

Sponsorships are created as through the Sponsorships dashboard, but with a few extra settings that let you highlight sponsor names and display their logos on your website.

Assignment Options

Based on the quantity entered and the quantity of event admission tickets associated with the sponsorship item, the checkout page will list the number of tickets available to be assigned to other guests. The guest details information can be entered there as well.

You can assign admission tickets in 3 different ways:

Assigned to the purchaser and another guest will assign the ticket(s) to the purchaser and guest tickets will not be linked to the purchaser.
Assigned to the purchaser and their partner will assign a ticket to the purchaser and will assign a ticket to a guest that is Linked to the purchaser (they will share a Paddle#).
Tickets are assigned to other guests, the purchaser is not attending will assign no tickets to the purchaser and will allow you to enter new guest information for all tickets.

Keep in mind that a purchaser can only assign a single ticket to themselves. This means that all the email addresses that are supplied for the tickets being purchased should be unique if possible. Supplying email addresses for guests is optional by default.
