🎡Fairground Set-Ups 🎠

Running a fairground across multiple days? 🎟️🎡 Using Event Series in the Skiddle Promotion Centre makes it easier to manage your dates and, most importantly, allows customers to choose the specific day they want to attend before purchasing their tickets.

Fairgrounds often run across multiple days, with customers purchasing tickets for a particular day of the event.

Using an Event Series allows you to group all of your fairground dates together under one listing. Customers can then view the available dates and select the specific day they want to attend from the calendar before choosing their tickets.

This creates a much clearer booking journey and helps prevent customers from accidentally purchasing tickets for the wrong day.

💡 Important: If your fairground runs on multiple separate days, we recommend using an Event Series rather than creating completely separate event listings for each day.

When your Event Series is grouped, customers will see your fairground as one event listing with a calendar showing the available dates.

They can:

This means customers are choosing their attendance date as part of the booking process, rather than having to search through multiple separate listings to find the correct day.

When creating your event in the Promotion Centre:

With a Grouped Event Series, customers will see all of your dates together and can select their preferred date from the calendar.

When creating your tickets, think about how you want customers to purchase admission for each day.

For example:

The ticket details, pricing and allocations you create for an Event Series can be applied across the dates in your series, helping to save time when setting up your fairground.

Make sure your ticket descriptions clearly explain what the ticket includes and, where relevant, that it is valid for the selected date only.

Creating separate listings for every fairground day can make the customer journey more complicated. Customers may have to search through multiple listings to find the date they want.

With Event Series, your dates are grouped together, making it much easier for customers to find and book the correct day.

It can also help drive additional sales. If one date sells out, customers can see other dates in the series that still have tickets available and choose an alternative day.

If your fairground also needs customers to select a specific arrival or entry time, you can combine Event Series with Session Based Ticketing.

This allows you to create multiple dates, with different timed sessions available on each date. Customers can then select their date and entry time as part of the booking process.

For example:

Saturday 5 September

Sunday 6 September

This can be particularly useful for larger fairgrounds where you need to manage capacity and control the flow of customers throughout the day.

For fairgrounds running across multiple days, Event Series provides a much cleaner way to organise your listings and sell tickets.

By grouping your dates together, customers can easily find your fairground, select the day they want to attend and purchase the correct tickets, while you can manage multiple dates from one setup.

🎟️ Our recommendation: If your fairground operates across multiple separate dates, use a Grouped Event Series so customers can choose their preferred day directly from your event listing.
