GENERAL FAQ
I bought a ticket, now what?
Sit tight! We will be in touch with you via the email address used to purchase your ticket.
General Admission attendees can expect to hear from us on April 15, at which time they will be provided instructions for registering on OneCause. All other ticket holders will be contacted in March to supply their Celebration Box shipping address and guest names (if applicable).
Once the OneCause event page opens on April 15, all attendees will need to register. Use the email address tied to your ticket purchase as it will already be in the OneCause system – this is to help keep the event secure. Keep your username and password handy for easy access on April 17. Once you’ve set up your login, you are ready to go!
What is OneCause?
OneCause is a private event platform that enables us to bring you a multi-layered virtual experience. It will be used to curate the auctions and broadcast the main event (note: the pre-show will be held on Zoom). Instructions for accessing the OneCause event page will be distributed to ticket holders on April 15. For those who purchase a ticket after April 15, details can be found in their GiveButter receipt email.
Are there any in-person Gala events?
Not this year, however we invite you to engage with us virtually! During the event, please feel welcome to participate in the live chat featured on OneCause and use #LINESGala2021 when sharing Gala highlights on social media.
What happens on April 17?
To view the main event at 6pm PDT, you will login to OneCause with your username and password (or register if you have not yet done so). We encourage you to do this at least 15 minutes before showtime to ensure everything is working and add a credit card to your account to ensure seamless bidding during the live auction.

Where can Celebration Boxes be delivered?

I will attend with other people in my household. Do I need to purchase multiple admissions?
Each admission provides a single OneCause account.
