"Your website has worked out great for us, and you can sure use us for a reference anytime. I'd be glad to email or speak to someone who is unsure or skeptical about an online service and/or ticket ordering because for us it has been wonderful! It has saved us a ton of paperwork and postage, and I really think that it is part of the reason that our turnout is so good."

"Myevent.com is great! One of the best features was the online payment page; this saved me so much time & headache. I watched the funds build up & I would just request a check when I needed it. I always received a prompt response from the people at Myevent-- especially when it was regarding my funds. I highly recommend Myevent and the online payment feature!"

Kristy Green - Prattville, AL

"At first we were concerned that our fellow "old folks" wouldn't use it. But then the orders started pouring in. I guess people are more comfortable with technology at our age then I thought. A lot of my classmates said it was just plain easier to pay on line (which was my reason as well). I'm glad we set up ( and you guys made it so painless) and so are my classmates

Thanks!"

John K. Borys, Jr. - Round Lake Heights, IL

The myevent website builder is amazing. It is extremely easy to use and has really cool features. I credit the website for the successful response that we have had thus far. Without myevent, who knows what kind of website we would have had. I'm thinking we probably wouldn't have had one!

Thanks!"

Why MyEvent.com ?

In addition to allowing you to accept payment right on your website, we provide you with the statistics in your control panel (and downloadable in excel) of who has bought tickets and if they bought multiple tickets on one transaction.

This is important because very often someone is buying tickets for more than one person on the same transaction. Our system makes it easy to see when there are multiple people on one transaction. Other payment providers cannot do this because they strictly go by the transaction, which can create a lot of manual work for the organizer to trace back who has purchased tickets.

Our system is also seamless and people who are paying remain on your website and are not taken off the page to complete the transaction. This is not the case if you use another payment provider, and it can be disconcerting to the user.

You can also enter people into your control panel who purchased tickets by check or cash, and track everyone in one place (another nice benefit other payment providers can't provide).

MyEvent.com has toll free customer support, so if for any reason someone is having trouble completing their transaction we are there to help. Most other payment providers do not offer any customer support by phone.

As for the fees. We do not profit on the whole 8% that we charge for accepting payment. There is almost a 3% charge right off the top that goes directly to the credit card companies.

We have administration costs and do not fully collect your funds for 3 months, yet we pay out immediately by check, direct deposit or wire transfer (the latter 2 save a trip to the bank).

You can use another payment service when you build a website with us, however we guarantee that it will not be as easy for you, or your classmates and in the end you will wish you would have used our system.

MAKE REUNION PLANNING EASIER!

Increase attendance at your family reunion and make your job easier by allowing your family to buy tickets quickly and easily right on your reunion website. You can accept Visa and Mastercard credit card payments on a completely secure payment page for various events or for anything at all right on your family reunion website.

People who accept credit card payments on their family reunion website report that it is a key ingredient to a successful family reunion. Many people find it much easier to pay online with a credit card than to have to write a check, buy stamps and mail it in. So, giving your guests the choice increases attendance at the reunion and makes your job much easier.

Receiving payments in a lump sum from Myevent.com makes it much easier for the organizer. It saves a lot of trips to the bank, phone calls, and chasing people for money. The reporting tools in your control panel make it easy to keep track of who has bought a ticket online. You can view real time reports of tickets purchased and amounts owed to you. The list of tickets purchased can be down-loaded in an excel spreadsheet, and brought to the family reunion.

TRACK OFFLINE PAYMENTS:
When you accept payments by credit card through your website you get the added benefit of being able to track payments that come in offline as well. You can quickly and easily enter any payments that come in by check, or cash and track all ticket sales in one place in your control panel !

GETTING STARTED:
The first step to being able to accept ticket payments on your website is to fill out the registration form.

APPROVAL PROCESS:
You will be assigned an account representative who will run your information through our verification process and get back to you by email to let you know if you have been approved. The approval process can take up to 3 business days. All your information is kept totally confidential. You need to pay for your myevent.com subscription in order to be approved to accept ticket payment.

IT'S VERY FAST & EASY:
Once you have been approved, we will turn on your "Buy Tickets Page" and you will be able to easily and quickly create tickets for events that will be sold on your family reunion website. It is also very easy to view who has purchased tickets and how much money is owed to you.

COST TO ACCEPT PAYMENT:
There are no set - up fees !
A nominal fee is added to the ticket price and charged individually to each guest. The cost added to the ticket price is 8% and there is a .35 fee for each transaction.

EXAMPLE:
If you decide that the actual cost for the reunion ticket is $50, you will put $50 in the field "Price of Ticket" (in your control panel, once you have been approved and had your "buy tickets" page turned on). 8% will be automatically added to that price for a total that will show up in the "Total Ticket Price" of $54. There will be .35 fee added for the total amount of the transaction.

Therefore if a guest is buying 2 tickets (that you had determined would cost them $50 each), the total amount would be $108.35.

PAYMENTS TO THE ORGANIZER:
When you set up your "buy tickets" page, you will select at what amount you would like Myevent.com to pay out the funds that are in your account. Once that amount is reached Myevent.com will automatically make a payment to you in the method you have chosen. You can be paid out as often as you choose.

You will be able to view how much money you have collected in your control panel in real time 24 hours a day. If you need to receive a payment prior to reaching the level you had selected for payouts you can click the PAY ME NOW button in your control panel.

METHODS AND COSTS OF PAYOUTS:
Bank Transfer - The cost to do a bank transfer from your Myevent.com account to the bank account you have selected is $2.50, and it can take 5 business days from the time of your request.

Check - The cost to send a check by mail is $2.50 and it can take up to 10 business days to receive it from the time of your request.

Wire Transfer - The cost to do a wire transfer from your Myevent.com account to the bank account you have selected is $30, and it can take 1 business day from the time of your request.

REFUNDS:
Myevent.com cannot issue refunds to individuals through the website if the funds have already been paid out from the account. If the funds are still in the account, a refund can be issued not including the fees associated with that transaction.
