Good morning,
I was given this email in hopes that I might find some ideas on how to better use Tessitura for some of our Fundraising Events. In the Development office at Manhattan Theatre Club we currently use the Events Module in the History tab to take reservations for most of our events. These events are mostly pre-show dinners, cocktail receptions and seminars; all of which the info in these modules work well for us. Our Spring Gala is a much larger event that involves seating about 600 people at about 60 tables. I am wondering if others have found a useful way to do detailed table seating using Tessitura.
Thanks, in advance, for your help - any info would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Emily Yowell

Hi Emily,
I would check out Elevated Events in the Campaign section of Tessitura. I've used this for fundraising dinners and it works well. You can manage attendees and process tickets as donations this way. You can also store notes, levels, and table numbers. There are two related reports: Event Listing report in Dev folder (which shows table assignments) and Special Event Receipt Listing report in Labels and Letters folder.
