Combat Control

Seminars and tickets

Sell seminar tickets, check people in, then see how it sold and who joined.

Why it matters. Seminars bring in good money and new faces, but they usually run on a bank transfer, a spreadsheet of names and a guess about who actually came.

How it works

  1. Create the seminar with your own coach or a guest black belt, the schedule, the venue and the places. Early bird, standard and members-only prices share one set of places, so it never oversells.
  2. Publish it and share the page or its QR code. The page shows the coach, schedule, places left, a map and the prices, and it previews nicely when shared and can show up in Google as an event.
  3. People pay by card to your Stripe account and sign the waiver online; a parent signs for anyone under 18. Each ticket comes by email with its code, a link to the QR ticket and an add-to-calendar link, plus a reminder the day before.
  4. On the day, search by name or ticket code and tap to check people in. Refund one ticket, or move or cancel the seminar and everyone is told.
  5. Afterwards, Insights shows the sales pace against your usual seminars, members and guests, who turned up, where the money went (including the instructor's share) and the guests who joined the gym.

Who uses it

  • Owner. Sets it up, sells it and sees whether it was worth running.
  • Front desk or coach. Checks people in on the day.
  • Members. See upcoming seminars in their app at the members price.

Questions

Can guests buy a ticket without being members?

Yes. Anyone can buy from the seminar page. Members see the members-only price when they are signed in.

Can I record what the guest instructor is owed?

Yes. Set a percent of the ticket money or a flat fee on the seminar, and Insights shows their share and what you keep. No money is moved for you.

What does it cost per ticket?

The seminar form shows what you keep from each ticket before you publish, after the Combat Control fee and before Stripe's card fee.
