Selling a table at your gala should be the easy part. Someone wants to sponsor a “Table of 8,” they hand you their card, and — wait. Now you’ve got eight seats sold under one name and a brand-new headache: how does each guest actually get in?

For a lot of organizers, this is where the spreadsheet appears. You manually carve the table into eight names, hunt down emails, forward tickets one by one, and pray nobody shows up at the door insisting their seat is the one already scanned. EventPassHero has a cleaner way. Sell the bundle as one thing — deliver eight individual tickets automatically. We call it the Table of 8 trick, and it works for any group size you can dream up.

Watch one table sale become individual QR tickets — one per guest.

One SKU in, eight QR codes out

Here’s the core idea. You create a single ticket type — a “Table of 8” — and price it as one unit. To the buyer, it’s one clean line item at checkout: one click, one payment. But the moment that purchase clears, EventPassHero automatically splits it into eight individual tickets, each with its own unique QR code.

Sold as one SKU. Delivered as eight scannable passes — no manual splitting required.

That’s the whole magic: the buyer never wrestles with quantity selectors or eight separate add-to-carts, and you never touch a spreadsheet. The table sells like a single product, but every guest who walks through your door gets scanned in on their own code — so your headcount, your check-in line, and your reports all stay honest.

One purchase. Eight QR codes. Zero spreadsheet.

Want each guest’s name on their ticket? Just ask for it.

Sometimes a table buyer is happy to receive all eight passes and forward them however they like. Other times — sponsor tables, VIP rows, assigned-seat dinners — you want each guest’s details on their own ticket. EventPassHero handles both.

Turn on per-guest info capture and the buyer can enter each attendee’s name and email right at checkout. From there, every guest gets their own digital ticket delivered to their own inbox, with their name on it — and if you’re using assigned seating, the seat is printed right on the pass. No more “which one is mine?” in the group chat the morning of the event.

Optional, never required
Per-guest capture is a toggle, not a tax. Keep it off for a frictionless one-click table sale, or turn it on when you need every name, email, and seat locked in. You decide per event.

Tables of 6, 8, 10, 12 — pick your number

There’s nothing special about the number eight. The same bundle-and-split logic works for any group size. Sell tables of 6 for an intimate fundraiser, tables of 10 for a sponsor tier, tables of 12 for the big ballroom — or build a “Group of 4” pack for friends who always roll in together. One ticket type, one price, however many passes you set.

Where the Table of 8 trick earns its keep

This isn’t a niche feature — it maps onto the way the community actually sells tickets. A few places it shines:

Galas & banquets

Sell full tables to sponsors and chapters without manually dividing seats afterward.

Sponsor packages

Bundle a table into a sponsorship tier — the sponsor buys once, their whole party gets in.

Group & alumni sales

Let one person buy for the whole crew and still hand everyone their own pass.

Fewer no-shows

Individual tickets mean clear check-in, less confusion, and fewer guests turned away at the door.

For the buyer it’s one click and done. For you, it’s eight clean tickets and an accurate headcount.

It pairs with the rest of your toolkit

The Table of 8 trick gets even better alongside two features you may already be using. First, interactive seating: when your bundle maps to real seats on your venue map, splitting a table doesn’t just generate eight passes — it assigns eight actual chairs, and each guest’s seat prints right on their ticket. Second, add-ons and upsells at checkout: pair a table purchase with a bottle service add-on, a program ad, or a donation prompt, and grow the value of every group sale.

Together, that’s the full picture for high-value group sales: sell it simply, deliver it cleanly, seat it precisely, and upsell it gracefully — all in one checkout.

The bottom line

Selling tables shouldn’t punish you with busywork. With EventPassHero, a “Table of 8” sells as one effortless purchase and lands as eight individual, scannable tickets — with each guest’s name and seat if you want them. It works for tables of 6, 10, or 12 just as well, pairs with your seating map and your upsells, and spares you the spreadsheet entirely. Less friction at checkout, fewer no-shows at the door, more tables sold.
