Session Based Ticketing allows you to quickly and easily create and sell tickets for events where customers need to arrive at a specific time.
It makes managing multiple entry times much simpler, saving you time creating duplicate events or copying tickets between different listings.
🎟️ What Are Sessions?
A Timed Session Event is split into multiple Sessions, which can be thought of as individual entry times.
Sessions can be created at regular intervals of:
⏱️ 15 minutes
⏱️ 30 minutes
⏱️ 45 minutes
⏱️ 1 hour
Each Session can have its own entry capacity, allowing you to control how many customers can attend each time slot.
You can also choose which tickets count towards the Session capacity and which don't.
🎪 What Events Are Session Based Ticketing Good For?
Session Based Ticketing is particularly useful for events where customers need to arrive at specific times, including:
⛸️ Ice skating
🎅 Santa grottos
🎄 Christmas trails
🎭 Immersive theatre
🎃 Halloween experiences
💡 Light trails
🐣 Easter trails
🤝 Meet & greets
❄️ Winter wonderlands
🎭 Pantomimes and performances
🎡 Fun fairs
📅 Managing Your Sessions
Sessions can be individually added or removed from the Sessions Calendar, giving you flexibility to manage your event schedule.
⚠️ Please Note: If a Session has already had ticket sales, it cannot be deleted. Instead, the Session will need to be cancelled.
🔁 Session Based Ticketing & Event Series
Timed Sessions can be used alongside an Event Series.
This allows you to create recurring Dates, with each Date containing multiple Timed Sessions.
For example:
📅 Event Series
↳ Saturday
↳ 10:00am Session
↳ 11:00am Session
↳ 12:00pm Session
↳ Sunday
↳ 10:00am Session
↳ 11:00am Session
↳ 12:00pm Session
This is ideal for events running regularly across multiple Dates with different entry times.
🚀 Why Use Session Based Ticketing?
Session Based Ticketing is particularly useful for larger events where you need to control queues and manage the number of customers entering at any one time.
It's also well suited to venues and experiences where customers are spread throughout the day or evening, such as:
🏛️ Museums
🚶 Tours
🔐 Escape rooms
🎢 Theme parks
🎄 Seasonal attractions
