Hi
We are using Elevated Events for the first time for an upcoming Gala.
There is a ticket element which we want to split out from the Gifts/Pledges. I set-up the Gala as a performance so that we could do this. However our finance department is unhappy because they don't want to see this as ticketing income. Does anyone know of a better way of doing this or how we can split the Gala tickets away from the normal box office ticketing income, while still reporting on the split income within the elevated campaign?
The Gala has it's own G/L, fund, and the performance is attached to the elevated campaign.
Many thanks
Lee-Anne
Is there any reason you couldn't just use multiple funds within the Elevated Event? We've long used different funds to separate out the ticket revenue from the revenue generated by raise the paddle, auction items, etc. It's a little bit more work on the data entry side if you receive money that's intended as payment for both tickets and contributions, but otherwise this approach has worked pretty cleanly for us.
