Managing Racing Event Registration and Bibs through Ticketbud

When organizing racing event registration for any run, walk or biking event, Ticketbud is a reliable ticketing partner that goes the distance. 

Ticketbud offers a centralized hub for event information, registration, and bib assignments. Utilizing our full suite of ticketing features ensures a smooth and efficient race registration process for organizers and participants alike. Participants can confidently register for races, knowing that their information is handled with care. And organizers can efficiently manage entries, track attendance, and create an unforgettable racing experience.

Race Participant Registration 

With racing events, it’s important for event organizers to access important information about participants, such as emergency contact information, t-shirt size, or age. These details can easily be captured through Ticketbud’s Custom Questions feature. 

The feature acts as an online registration form, allowing organizers to collect necessary information in advance so they can offer a smoother check-in process on event day. 

The questions can be tailored to different ticket types offered on the registration page. For example, if the racing event offers a fun run for kids and a competitive run for adults, you may need different information from each group to better organize your race registration. You may want to request parental consent for child participation in fun runs. And, you might ask for age, sex or pace information to organize start times and placing for more competitive events.

Racing Bib Assignments and Features

Ticketbud also supports racing bib assignments and participant tracking features. Participants check-in to the event by scanning their mobile ticket. At this point, they’ll be assigned a racing bib number. The number can be generated randomly or input manually into their participant profile.

By including a QR code on the bibs, race registration staff can scan the bib with the Ticketbud mobile app to register the participants arrival, as well as access emergency contact information and answers to any custom questions recorded by that participant, such as a t-shirt size.

The number can also be used to track and identify participants during the event using the free Ticketbud mobile app – available through iOS and Android. 

The racing bib itself poses a great opportunity for event organizers to display sponsorship or fundraising information. To court sponsors, event organizers should emphasize how many of their participants are expected to see and wear their logo.

Additional Ticketing Features for Racing Event Registration

Donation Management

Many racing events serve as fundraisers for non-profit organizations or important causes. While registration fees support these philanthropic efforts, event organizers can also accept donations to maximize fundraising potential. 

Ticketbud makes these fundraising efforts easy with the user-friendly custom ticketing options. Simply use the Ticketbud Ticket Editor to create a donation option on your registration page. This allows anyone visiting your event website to donate any amount of their choosing. 

Unlimited Ticketing Options for Race Registration

Ticketbud’s Ticket Editor also streamlines ticketing for events with multiple components, such as those that offer fun runs, different racing distances, or spectator ticketing. With the editor, it is simple create multiple ticket types and schedule sales timelines for each ticket type.

Promote Upcoming Races

With a branded landing page, racing event organizers can promote all upcoming races and events in one place. If the race schedule is particularly robust, event organizers may choose to create an event calendar. These features offer event organizers free promotional tools. They also allow participants to plan ahead and secure registration for races well in advance.
