Stride Events overview

What is Stride Events?

Designed by event directors for event directors, Stride Events offers efficient tools for successfully growing your events and streamlining operations.

Manage your ticket and registration sales, marketing, tournaments, memberships, sponsors, and more all in one place. And, get support from a dedicated account manager.

Stride Events software is free. Your attendees and participants pay a service fee when they register or buy tickets to cover costs. Unlike some competitors, Stride Events pays the credit card and merchant fees. The total fee at Stride Events is 4.97% + $1.25 per registration/ticket.

Design your ticketing page to match your brand. Include a detailed seat map that shows accessible seating, reserved seating, sold seats, and even photos of the view from each seat.

Reduce stress and get more sleep by automating price increases. You can even reduce orphan seat creation in online orders.

Stride Events provides a range of features that increase participation by turning participants and attendees into marketers. Incentivize referrals with our automated and trackable system. Encourage people to share your ticketing or registration page on Facebook to get the word out and sell more tickets.

Stop dealing with abandoned carts by automating an email reminder with a direct link to where participants can finish the order they started. Promo codes, group discounts, and bundles also help you track other marketing campaigns and implement a strong sales strategy. Even add price increase countdown clocks to your ticketing and registration pages to create a sense of urgency.

Customize your dashboard so you immediately see the most important information. Add multiple users and set access permissions to easily and securely coordinate with your team. Use built-in project management software to assign tasks and track deadlines.

Get real-time reports so you make better decisions. Use our standard reports or create your own. Forecast your event’s financials with tracked expenses, automated revenue updates, and historical data. View a heat map of where people buying tickets and registrations are from, so you can target your marketing.

Stride Events’ robust tools mitigate chargebacks and scalping. Set ticket order size limits, delay emails with tickets, and block repeat offenders from purchasing.

Manage email and text communications. Customize email templates, save drafts, and schedule emails. Send notifications via text, too.

Simplify sponsor management – send invoices and track payments. Automate sponsor logo displays in emails and on your Stride Events marketing page. Include sponsor offers and link to them from your marketing page. Even select sponsor logos to include on your tickets.

Fully manage volunteers through Stride Events’ software – post jobs, see sign-ups, and track attendance.

Maximize your fundraising capabilities for your nonprofit or partner nonprofits. Track fundraising goals and progress on dedicated web pages. It’s easy for people to get involved by creating fundraising teams to boost their impact.

Sell merchandise and concessions with Stride Events’ software. Track inventory, feature items on the ticket or registration pages, and complete onsite sales with Stride Events’ integrated app.

Create event registration forms for free and make them ready to process registrations within minutes. Add custom questions and design the form to match your brand.

You’ll benefit from increased conversion rates with Stride Event’s simple two-page form. And, you can use the same form to register individuals and teams.

Organize tournament matches and post final scores so your participants can follow the bracket easily.

Stride Events is a robust event management software with industry-leading online registration and ticketing capabilities. Streamline operations and sell more with the same software.
