FAQ's - Event Tickets
A. No! The check in desk will check your name against the online register. Your membership is already checked by the system.
A. Many of our events are members only! You need to log into your Thrive4 account for the system to recognise that you are already a member.
If you are still having troubles, check if your membership has expired - there will be an outstanding invoice on the dashboard of your Thrive4 account.
If you are still having trouble after checking your membership if current, email the membership officer for assistance.
A. In most cases yes - however some of our events have limited spaces available, for those events you MUST pre-purchase online.
Note: If you are buying a ticket at the door, please bring exact change and your membership slip (shown below) or if you recently renewed, the email from the membership officer confirming your membership renewal.
A. Most of our events are "member-only", you need to log into your Thrive4 account for the system to recognise that you have a current membership and allow you to check out.
The other common issue, is that you have already purchased a ticket to the event. The system will only allow you to buy one ticket for each person on your account. To check if you already have a ticket, log into your Thrive4 account, click "calendar" and tab to the correct month. Any courses you have booked will be shown.
If you are still having issues, please email the finance officer finance@jka-england.org.
A. Unless the other member's Thrive4 account is linked to yours (only recommended for family members due to GDPR) then you will not be able to purchase a ticket for them. They will need to log into their own Thrive4 account to purchase the ticket.
A. We host a few events each year where we welcome non-members, such as our Spring & Winter International Courses. If you see a "Buy a Ticket - Non Members" button, non-members are welcome to attend!
You will be asked to set up a Thrive4 profile to purchase your ticket but will not need to purchase a membership to check out.
A. If you have any questions or concerns about your JKA England membership, feel free to reach out to the JKA England team. They'll be more than happy to assist you.
