An event payment receipt is a proof of purchase document provided to a guest/attendee of an event by the event’s coordinators or accounting department. These receipts are used most often for music/art/film festivals, seminars and conferences, product launches, conventions, banquets and balls, galas, and fairs. Attendees of an event will usually have to buy tickets to the event and may be charged for other associated fees or services. Each fee charged to the attendee will be written on the event payment receipt with a description of the fee and the total amount owed. The attendee would be wise to keep this receipt for their records as some events are tax-deductible if it’s a 501(c)(3) organization.
