How to re-open your church in the midst of social distancing
Churches and religious organizations all over the world are facing challenges to re-opening their doors during the decline of the COVID-19 outbreak.
How can you reopen safely?
Implementing a ticketing system and allowing your congregation to tune in online can solve all of these problems! Church ticketing is essential in the COVID era.
Church Ticketing is the simple solution to safely resuming in-person religious services
How it can work for your congregation:
Start by setting up a custom event page with Eventgroove in 15 minutes.
Customize your event hub page for your place of worship (add images, logos, and detailed info about the services you offer each week) and share with your congregation.
Attendees can log on and reserve their seats, or register for the virtual live stream for whichever service they want.
Tickets will stop being available once the service has reached max capacity.
Create an event hub
Include all event info on this page and share with your congregation.
Provide a virtual option
Since capacity is limited, allow everyone to attend by providing an online attendance option.
Attendees reserve their seats
When attendees register, they can select a seat or group of seats from a reserved seating chart that we’ll configure for you. Some seats will be blocked off to allow for social distancing.
OR
Attendees can choose to attend your service virtually by selecting your virtual event option. They will receive an encrypted link, via email, to use to attend the live stream event.
Optional donation
Parishioners that would typically donate during your church service can do so through our platform.
