How booking a place works

A guest picks a date and a ticket, answers your questions and pays by card, by bank transfer or at the door. Each guest gets their own page with their tickets, and emails before the day. When an event is full, a waitlist fills each place that opens up.

How it worksUpdated 14 Nov 2026

Booking takes a guest a minute, and everything after it is sent for you.

Their own page

Every guest gets a page of their own for their booking:

  • Show at the door: their tickets, ready to scan.
  • Save names, for each ticket.
  • Can't go? Pass a ticket on to someone else.
  • Join online, for an online event.
  • Directions and Add to calendar.

The emails they get

From your own sending address, in your brand: their tickets, a reminder the day before, and word of anything that changes: a new time, a place opening up, or the event called off.

You're emailed each new booking, and each request to come when you approve bookings first.
