ControlMyEvents vs run.events

ControlMyEvents is a web platform for rights holders and brand sponsors managing hospitality, ticketing, sponsorship assets, activations, competitions and reporting. Users can request tickets while administrators approve and allocate them, manage guest lists and maintain hospitality calendars. Task-based worklists, reminders and policy-driven request and approval processes organise related operations. Reports cover ticket use, outstanding tickets, season analysis, unused inventory and custom operational views. API subscriptions connect the platform with other systems, and sports datafeeds provide football fixtures, with other sports available. The Mailroom module tracks packages, carriers and scan-based sign-out; it can be subscribed to separately or alongside the platform. Every subscription includes product support, standard onboarding, administrator training and ongoing updates. Email one-time-code multi-factor authentication is required for every user, and customer data is encrypted in transit using TLS. Production hosting is in the United Kingdom and European Economic Area. Pricing is on request, scoped by modules, volumes, organisation structure, integrations and service requirements.
