Eventfrog supports event organizers affected by coronavirus with fundraising campaign
The Olten-based event and ticketing start-up Eventfrog is committed to helping event organizers who are threatened by the Corona crisis due to forced cancellations. The event platform has created the possibility for affected event organizers to launch uncomplicated virtual donation events on eventfrog.ch and thus collect donations specifically from their fans and supporters.
After the federal government issued a ban on Friday, 28.02.2020 for large events with more than 1000 visitors, and also for smaller events partly strict conditions apply, many events had to be canceled. The regulation hits small event organizers particularly hard. This is because non-profit associations and artists usually have few resources for their cultural activities and also no reserves for unplanned cancellations. Since it is not clear how long the conditions will apply, there is currently also a lack of planning certainty.
With the fundraiser "Every ticket counts" Eventfrog wants to help these organizers quickly and easily. On Eventfrog.ch, affected event organizers can create their own virtual donation events. They can share these via social media or their website in the same way as a real ticket pre-sale and thus easily use them for their fundraising appeals. Instead of tickets for a real event, they can offer virtual donation tickets, so to speak. Eventfrog takes care of the collection and spreads the word about the campaign via their own channels. With this fundraising campaign, event organizers have the chance to tell a broad public about their individual situation. And vice versa, fans, culture enthusiasts and consumers can make a targeted, valuable contribution to the event that is particularly close to their hearts. The "Every Ticket Counts" campaign begins on March 6 and runs until May 31, 2020.
The Olten-based start-up Eventfrog was founded with the idea of offering small and medium-sized event organizers a free ticketing solution. This has developed into an event platform that goes far beyond that and accompanies event organizers throughout the entire process of staging events and marketing them.
