Table bookings are a great way to sell group bookings while making it easy to manage your venue capacity. 👥
Setting up table bookings with Skiddle is simple! 🎟️
🛠️ How to Set Up Table Bookings
When creating your table ticket, follow these five steps:
1. 🎫 Name Your Ticket
Name your ticket clearly so customers know how many people the table accommodates.
Example:
One Table - Up to 4 Guests
2. 📝 Add the Total Table Price
In the ticket description, clearly state the total price for the table.
Example:
Total: £120 + BF
3. 💷 Set the Ticket Price
Set the ticket value as the price per individual, rather than the total table price.
Example:
£30 per head
4. 👥 Set the Minimum & Maximum
Set the minimum and maximum purchase amount to match the number of people who can sit at the table.
For a table of 4:
Minimum: 4
Maximum: 4
This ensures customers must purchase all 4 tickets to book the table.
5. 📊 Set Your Allocation
Set your allocation based on the total number of people your available tables can accommodate.
For example, if you have 15 tables of 4 available:
4 guests × 15 tables = 60 ticket allocation
So your allocation would be 60.
🎯 Example Table Setup
For a table of 4 guests, your ticket would look like this:
Setting | Example |
🎫 Name | One Table - Up to 4 Guests |
📝 Description | Total: £120 + BF |
💷 Price | £30 per head |
👥 Minimum & Maximum | 4 |
📊 Allocation | 60 |
📱 Why Use Table Bookings?
Setting up your tickets this way means every member of the booking receives their own unique barcode. 🎟️
This allows each guest to be scanned individually on arrival, while also helping you monitor your event capacity through the RapidScan app.
💡 Top Tip: Make sure your ticket name and description clearly explain the total table price, so customers understand exactly what they're purchasing before booking.
