FrontStream Events is FrontStream's event fundraising software, and its ticketing experience is now entirely enhanced for auctions and galas. You can sell tickets, design your seating chart, let guests and table hosts manage their own details, and check guests in by phone, all in the same place you run your auction.
Most auctions and galas get stitched together from several tools: one for tickets, one for bidding, one for payments, and a spreadsheet to tie it all together. Guest lists live in one place, bidder details in another, and by the time doors open, nobody is sure which version is current.
Every handoff between tools is another place for something to slip. FrontStream Events is built to reduce those handoffs, so ticketing, check-in, bidding, and payments work together in one event.
Set up ticket types, table packages, sponsorships, and discount codes. Lay out a seating chart that matches your real room before a single ticket goes on sale.
Guests can buy, manage, and transfer tickets from any phone. Table hosts can add their own guests and assign seats, so every change doesn't land on your team.
Volunteers scan guests' QR codes at the door, so check-in doesn't depend on a printed list. Teams that prefer scanners can use them.
Ticketing, check-in, bidding, and payments work together, which reduces the manual work between a guest buying a ticket and being ready to bid.
Smoother event nights give your team time for what raises money: welcoming guests and encouraging giving. Ticketing is also only the start. FrontStream Events is paired with BiddingForGood, which helps your auction reach bidders beyond the room. Across active events, about 45% of bidders come through the BiddingForGood community, and for smaller organizations it can be nearly 60%.
It's built for auctions and galas, so it's a good fit if:
It is not available for peer-to-peer campaigns.
The new ticketing experience is available to all current customers except those on the FrontStream Events Starter plan. New auctions get it automatically. For existing auctions, reach out to your Customer Success Manager or email onboarding@frontstream.com for more information.
Join us for a live walkthrough on Tuesday, November 10 at 2 PM ET. We'll cover ticketing, guest management, seating, check-in, and bidder connection, with time for your questions.
