Tickets to Edmonton Chamber events are processed through ChamberMaster, our new online member platform introduced in October 2019. To register for an event, simply select register on the event page and a registration window will appear.

After registering for an event online, an electronic ticket will be sent to the email address used to register. Just like a hockey game, play or concert, you must present your ticket at the event in order to enter. Each ticket has a QR code (similar to a barcode) which allows our system to register you upon entry.

If this window does not appear, please email our events team at events@edmontonchamber.com at least one week prior to the event. In your email, please note the event you are attending and identify your allergies. Our team will then do our best to accommodate you!

Please note that due to venue restrictions for catering orders, allergies that are not mentioned in advance may not be able to be accommodated.

Of course! When registering for an event, select the ‘Add Attendee’ button to include as many guests as you require. Enter the names and contact information (including a valid email address) for each of your attendees to ensure they receive their tickets, as well as any updates and confirmations.

This ensures that we receive email addresses for every attendee and that they will receive their customized login credentials directly, prior to the event, providing greater security for our presenters and guests.

It is important to provide the names and contact information of all attendees. When registering for an event, enter the names and contact information of all confirmed guests. As additional guest names are confirmed, you can go into your ticket purchase and update your registration information. Important to note, when updating information, please ensure you select "next" as the system will then prompt you to resend all tickets. (If you select the save and close option, unfortunately the tickets will not be sent). 

Additional guest names can be added up to 24 hours prior to the event, after this time the event list is locked down. By adding the names and providing valid email addresses for all your guests, you will ensure they receive their tickets, as well as any email updates and confirmations.

We strongly recommend that you include the names of all attendees and their contact information when registering for an event. This way each attendee receives an individual ticket by email and can enter the event on their own, ensuring the best guest experience.
