Eventually Ticketing
Attendee Management

Add a guest to an event manually

Add guests directly from your event page to record walk-ins or manual signups. You can add one guest at a time or paste a list for bulk registration.

Open the Add Guest panel

  1. From your Eventually dashboard, navigate to Events.

  2. Select the event you want to add guests to.

  3. Find the Guests section. This shows your current attendee count and any checked-in guests.

  4. Click Add Guest to open the registration panel.

You can find this option in the event attendees area, not on the public registration page. Organizers manage guests from their dashboard.

Adding one guest

In single-add mode, fill out the guest details and choose whether to send the ticket confirmation email.

  1. Full Name — The guest's complete name.

  2. Email Address — The email to associate with the ticket.

  3. Ticket Type — Select which ticket type to assign. If your event has multiple ticket types, choose the appropriate one from the dropdown.

  4. Send confirmation email — Leave this checked (the default) to send the same branded ticket confirmation email a purchase sends. Uncheck it if you do not want this guest emailed yet — for example, for a quiet comp or an influencer you will invite later.

If your event has custom registration questions configured, any required fields appear below these basics. Complete all required fields before saving.

Click Register Attendee on the attendees panel, or Add guest on the event page Add Guest modal, to save the guest. Use Save & add more if you want to keep the form open for another guest.

When Send confirmation email is checked, the guest receives the branded ticket confirmation with QR code, calendar details, and event information. Customize that message in Customize your event emails. If you skip the email now, you can still send it later with Resending a confirmation email.

Adding multiple guests at once

Use bulk paste mode to add several guests quickly. Pasted guests are added without confirmation emails, so a large import does not trigger a mass send.

  1. In the Add Guest panel, switch to Paste list mode.

  2. Guest list — Enter one guest per line using this format: Name, Email

  3. Ticket Type — Select the ticket type to assign to all guests in your list.

  4. Click Add N guest(s) to process the list.

Bulk paste does not show the Send confirmation email checkbox and does not email guests automatically. To send a ticket confirmation after a paste, open each guest and use Send ticket link.

Lines without an @ symbol are automatically skipped. If a line doesn't contain a valid email format, that entry won't be processed.

After processing, you'll see results inline:

  • X added — The number of guests successfully added.

  • Y failed — Any entries that couldn't be processed.

Individual error lines explain why specific entries failed.

Capacity warnings

If your event is at capacity, you'll see a warning:

This event is at capacity. Adding an attendee will exceed the limit.

You can still proceed to add guests beyond capacity if you choose to oversell. Adding a guest also refreshes Squarespace product stock for every ticket variant on that event, so paid sibling tiers reflect the new remaining room capacity. See How Squarespace sync works.

Walk-in and manual registrations

Newly added guests appear in your Guests section immediately. You can check them in from the Check-in tab by searching for their name or email and pressing Enter. For a focused door workflow that covers adding and checking in unregistered attendees, see Check in walk-in guests. From the guest list you can also:

What happens if an email is invalid

If you type a malformed or blank email address when adding a single guest, an error message appears directly under the Email Address field. The form keeps everything you typed, so you can fix the email and click Register Attendee again without re-entering the other details.

When you paste a list of guests, the server validates every email. Any line with a malformed or blank email now shows a specific inline error in the results rather than failing silently. Correct the line and re-submit the list if needed.
