Hosting an event

This guide covers what's true of every event on Colors today. How members propose and host their own events is changing, and this guide will grow when it does.

Everyone agrees to the house rules

Every ticket holder agrees to two things at checkout: the club's code of conduct, and this event's photo policy. Colors keeps the time they agreed with their ticket. The event page shows the photo policy under House rules, so write it plainly: who may take photos, of what, and where they'll go.

If someone breaks the code of conduct, you don't need to argue it out on the night. Make sure people are safe, and point them to Safety to report it, with their name or anonymously.

Photos

Every member chooses No photos, Faces blurred or Photos OK, and guests who aren't members count as no photos. The choice shows on the attendee list and in large letters at the door. If there's a photographer, brief them before doors open.

Approving tickets

Some events need each ticket approved. Officers who manage events approve or decline them from the event page.

• A member with a restriction on file can't be approved, and the button says so. You won't see why.
• Declining a paid ticket refunds it automatically.

Hidden venues

If the venue is hidden, approved ticket holders see the address only from the release time before the event. Don't post it anywhere else. Pending tickets and members with a restriction don't see it.

On the night

Door volunteers check people in from door mode, and they'll come to you when they're unsure: a pending ticket, a declined one, a code used twice. Be easy to find. If the door shows Do not admit, get the safety lead.
