MatesEvent for Organizers – Powerful Tools to Create, Manage and Grow Your Events
Organizing an event involves much more than simply selling tickets. You need to create the event, manage ticket types and prices, control seating, monitor sales, check guests in, handle payments and keep track of everything from one place.
MatesEvent is designed to give organizers the tools they need to manage the complete event journey.
CREATE AND MANAGE YOUR EVENTS
Organizers can create events directly through their MatesEvent account and control the important information customers need before purchasing a ticket.
Event information can include:
Event name
Event description
Event date and time
Venue information
Event category
Event images
Ticket information
Pricing
Booking conditions
Organizers can also return to their event and update information when changes are required.
MULTIPLE TICKET TYPES
Different events require different ticket options.
MatesEvent allows organizers to create multiple ticket types for the same event.
Examples can include:
General Admission
VIP
Premium Seating
Adult Tickets
Children's Tickets
Early Bird Tickets
Different Seating Areas
Special Packages
Each ticket type can have its own price, quantity and availability.
This gives organizers greater control over how their event is sold.
CONTROL TICKET QUANTITIES
Organizers can decide how many tickets are available for each ticket type.
As tickets are purchased, MatesEvent tracks the remaining availability.
This helps prevent organizers from accidentally selling more tickets than the event or ticket allocation allows.
RESERVED SEATING AND SEAT MAPS
For events that require allocated seating, MatesEvent includes a custom seat-map system.
Organizers can create a seating layout that reflects their venue.
Seat-map tools can include:
Creating seat rows
Naming rows
Choosing the number of seats in each row
Adjusting seat spacing
Resizing rows
Curving rows
Positioning complete rows
Moving individual seats
Creating table layouts
Adjusting table positions
Setting table capacity
This allows organizers to build seating arrangements suitable for theatres, concerts, dinner events, parties and many other venue types.
TABLE BOOKINGS
MatesEvent can also support events that use tables instead of traditional rows of seats.
Organizers can create tables, choose their capacity and position them on the venue layout.
Depending on the event setup, tables can be configured for different booking requirements, including selling an entire table or managing individual places.
This is especially useful for:
Dinner events
Gala nights
Arabic parties
Corporate functions
Banquets
Social events
Family events
LIVE SEAT AVAILABILITY
The booking system keeps track of seat and table availability.
Seats can have different states such as:
Available
Held
Sold
Blocked
When a customer begins selecting seats, temporary holds can help prevent two customers from purchasing the same seat at the same time.
This provides a safer booking experience for both the customer and organizer.
MANAGE SOLD TICKETS
Organizers can monitor tickets that have already been sold.
Instead of only seeing totals, organizers can access useful booking information connected to customers and their tickets.
This can help organizers identify:
The buyer
Customer information
Ticket type
Ticket number
Seats or tables connected to the booking
Booking information
This makes it easier to assist customers before and during the event.
SEARCH FOR GUESTS
At busy events, organizers often need to quickly find a customer's booking.
MatesEvent can provide organizers with tools to search for buyers and view the tickets connected to them.
This is useful when a guest:
Cannot find their ticket
Needs help at the entrance
Has purchased multiple tickets
Needs their booking checked
Needs their ticket barcode displayed again
DIGITAL TICKETS
After successful bookings, customers can receive digital tickets containing their ticket information.
Tickets can include unique ticket numbers and QR codes that can be used during event entry.
Customers can also access their purchased tickets through their MatesEvent account where available.
QR CODE CHECK-IN
MatesEvent includes ticket scanning and check-in functionality.
At the entrance, authorized event staff can scan the customer's ticket.
The system can verify that the ticket belongs to the correct event and track its check-in status.
This helps organizers manage entry more efficiently and reduce the risk of the same ticket being used incorrectly.
SCANNER ACCOUNTS
Organizers can manage scanner access for staff working at the event entrance.
Dedicated scanner functionality allows event staff to focus on guest entry without requiring full access to the organizer's account.
This can be particularly useful for larger events with several entrance staff.
PAYMENTS
MatesEvent supports online event payments.
The booking process can calculate the required ticket amount and applicable charges before completing the transaction.
This allows organizers to sell tickets online while customers complete their booking through a structured checkout process.
PRICING, TAXES AND FEES
Event pricing can involve more than the advertised ticket price.
MatesEvent is designed to manage booking calculations including ticket prices, applicable taxes and platform-related charges.
These calculations can be handled during checkout so that the final booking amount is properly recorded.
BOOKING PROTECTION
MatesEvent includes booking logic designed to reduce common ticketing problems.
This includes protections around:
Seat availability
Temporary seat holds
Sold seats
Ticket quantities
Payment processing
Duplicate bookings
Ticket creation
These controls are important when many customers are trying to purchase tickets at the same time.
CUSTOMER INFORMATION
Organizers can access relevant customer information connected to their event bookings.
This can help with:
Guest management
Entry assistance
Booking enquiries
Ticket identification
Customer support
Having booking and customer information together makes event management easier.
EVENT DASHBOARD
The organizer area gives organizers a central place to manage their event activity.
Instead of using separate systems for ticket creation, customer bookings, seating and event entry, MatesEvent brings these important functions together.
Organizers can move between event management, bookings and seating information without leaving the platform.
SOLD, AVAILABLE AND HELD INVENTORY
For reserved seating events, understanding the current state of the venue is extremely important.
MatesEvent can distinguish between:
Available seats
Sold seats
Temporarily held seats
Unavailable or blocked seats
This gives organizers a clearer picture of how their event is filling.
EVENT REPORTING
Accurate event information is important when reviewing ticket sales and financial performance.
MatesEvent provides organizers with information connected to their ticket sales and event activity, helping them understand how the event is performing.
This can include information such as:
Tickets sold
Booking quantities
Customer orders
Ticket pricing
Event income
Payment-related information
ORGANIZER INCOME AND PAYMENT REQUESTS
Organizers can access their income-related information through their organizer account.
MatesEvent also includes functionality for managing payment or settlement requests, helping organizers keep event sales and payment administration connected to the same platform.
MANAGE YOUR EVENT FROM ONE PLATFORM
One of the biggest advantages of MatesEvent is that the organizer does not need to manage every part of the event using completely separate systems.
MatesEvent brings together:
Event creation
Ticket creation
Ticket pricing
Online ticket sales
Reserved seating
Seat maps
Table bookings

Digital tickets
QR codes
