What's an Attendee Day?
An Attendee Day is a 100% transparent and easy way to charge for Arena. No hidden extras. We simply charge 1 Attendee Credit for each attendee that attends your event each day.
For example, if you invite 50 people to your event but only 40 people turn up, we will only charge you for 40 Attendee Credits.
Alternatively, if you host an event across 3 days where 100 people attendee the event each day, then we will change you for 300 Attendee Credits.
Looking at the detail, we think about days in terms of 5am to 5am in the timezone of the host, and we think about attendance as your guest logging in to the event. i.e. if they only visit your branded landing registration page, then there is no charge.
So, how can you purchase Attendee Credits? We let you do that in one of 3 simple ways,
1) Pay As You Go
By simply uploading a credit or debit card to the Attendee Credits page of your account. You can navigate there from your Events Home by clicking "Manage Attendee Credits" on the left hand side.
One you are there simply click "Add A Payment Card" and enter your card details. Your card details will be stored securely and with full PCI DSS compliance.
Once you have uploaded a card you will be able to publish and host events and will be charged at the Pay As You Go rate of £5 per Attendee Day.
Pay As You Go Attendee Credits are charged on the 27th day of each month.
2) Pre-paid credits
This is the most popular and simple way to purchase credits. Simply visit your Attendee Credits page and click "Buy Attendee Credits" on the left hand side.
You will be asked to enter your credit card details and will be charged the standard rate of £2-4 per Attendee Credits which will be instantly credited to your account.
If more people show up to your event than you anticipate, and you have more attendees than Attendee Credits, then you will be simply be changed at the Pay As You Go.
If fewer people show up to your event than you anticipate, and you have Attendee Credits left over you can either use them on your next event on Arena or exchange them for Venue Vouchers which can be redeemed at any of the venues on hirespace.com. They certainly won't go to waste!
