BIB numbers for attendees

A BIB (Body Identification Number) is a sequential participant number used at numbered events like runs, fun runs, cycling, or triathlons, for example A0001. On Nyebar, BIB numbers can be issued automatically: every attendee who successfully buys a ticket gets the next number in the sequence right away, shared across all ticket types in the same event.

How it works

• One sequence for the whole event. Numbers are handed out in order regardless of ticket type. If you have 5K, 10K, and 21K tickets, all three draw from the same sequence, for example A0001, A0002, A0003, and so on.
• Assigned when payment succeeds. A BIB number is only allocated once the ticket is actually issued (payment succeeded, or for free events, once registration is complete). Unpaid reservations don’t use up a number, so the sequence stays tight with no gaps.
• You set the format. You decide the prefix (letters at the front, optional) and the starting number. For example, prefix A with starting number 0001 gives A0001 for the first attendee.

Where attendees see their number

Once payment succeeds, the attendee’s BIB number appears on:

• The e-ticket PDF they can download.
• The confirmation email, in the section listing the attendees’ BIB numbers.
• The order page (ticket card) on Nyebar.

On your side as the organizer, BIB numbers also show up in the attendee list and in the attendee export file (Excel), so they’re easy to match during race pack collection or check-in. BIB numbers that start with zero (for example 0012) stay intact in that file.

How to turn it on

You can turn it on yourself, right from the dashboard.

Once saved, BIB numbers are issued automatically with every purchase from then on.

Is it right for my event?

BIB numbers are designed for events with participant numbers, such as runs, fun runs, fun walks, cycling, triathlons, or obstacle runs. For other events that don’t use participant numbers, you don’t need to turn this feature on.
