Hosted Submission Management

Grip Manage: Hosted submission management 

Simplify approval-based ticketing with a built-in workflow designed for control, speed, and flexibility.

We’re thrilled to introduce Hosted Submission Management, a powerful new feature that brings the entire approval flow for ticketed events into Grip Manage - no more external forms, clunky spreadsheets, or manual processes.

Why it matters:

Managing VIPs, Hosted Buyers, and discounted ticket access has always required extra steps or extra tools. This update changes that. Now, you can:

Collect, review, and approve submissions right from the dashboard
Unlock ticket access the moment someone’s approved
Stay in control with a streamlined, end-to-end approval process

How it works:

1️⃣ Attendee submits a request – Instead of buying a ticket directly, users fill out a submission form.
2️⃣ You review in Grip – Quickly scan, approve, or reject submissions in a dedicated view.
3️⃣ They gain access – Once approved, users can buy, claim, or be assigned a ticket automatically.

Perfect for:

🎯 Hosted Buyer Programs – Pre-approve qualified attendees before unlocking matchmaking access
🎟️ VIP / Discounted Access – Manage student, media, or special guest ticketing with confidence
🧩 Approval-Only Workflows – All without needing external tools or custom setups

Why you'll love it

  • Eliminate back-and-forth — no more managing requests in separate tools

  • Maintain full control over who enters your event

  • Launch faster with everything managed in one platform

This update turns Grip Manage into a truly flexible and scalable registration platform—tailored for high-value, invite-only, and approval-driven events.
