Customers Love Calendar-Based Ticketing

“TicketSignup gave us the haunt ticketing software we needed. Calendar-based ticketing, Virtual Queuing, and the Ticket App worked together so smoothly that it transformed how we ran every night.”

Nik Simpson — The Haunted Forest

“In the past, I could never find a platform for someone buying out a whole trolley. We ended up having to handle our full trolley reservations manually. Now, even in the short time I’ve been with TicketSignup, there have been so many updates.”

Molly Shaheen — BYOB Holiday Lights Trolley

“TicketSignup was with us every step of the way. The support was incredible, and it felt like working with people who cared about our success.”

Nik Simpson — The Haunted Forest

“I’m super happy with TicketSignup overall. I looked into other possibilities and I decided to go back to this one because it seemed like the easiest, most effective platform. I’m going to choose this again next year.”

Taylor — Indian Springs Ranch

TicketSignup Solves Event Day Challenges

Unique events have unique challenges. If these aren’t, your unique challenges, schedule a call with us to find a solution.

Challenge: Manage Check-In at Multiple Attractions

Scaregrounds PDX needed to manage on-site traffic at three core attractions, as well as sideshows. Guests get access to each attraction once (only once).

Solution: With TicketSignup, Scaregrounds set up their ticket options as bundles, with the three core attractions included in all tickets and All Access Passes including all attractions and side shows. On-site, each attraction used the free Tickets App configured for them to check in their specific attraction. For guests, their single QR confirmation code worked throughout the park; for staff, it was easy to track them at each attraction.

Challenge: Turn Wait Time in a Revenue Opportunity

The Haunted Forest wanted to eliminate queues and increase revenue by letting guests wait in their Graveyard area with food and drinks (instead of in line).

Solution: TicketSignup integrated with Waitwhile to offer virtual queuing. This meant that when guests checked in on-site, they were automatically added to a virtual queue. Then, they were free to wander the Graveyard, buying food and drinks and enjoying an accessible attraction until receiving an automated text notification that it’s their turn to enter the main attraction. More revenue, no wait.

FAQ: Understanding Calendar-Based Timed Entry Ticketing

What types of events use TicketSignup’s Calendar-Based Timed Entry Ticketing?

Calendar-based ticketing is purpose-built for timed entry events and long-term bookings.

Common event use-cases include Halloween haunts, holiday light shows, and tours. Additional customers range from vaccine clinics for pets to concert series’ and timed entry festivals.

What makes Calendar-Based Ticketing different from other timed entry ticketing tools?

TicketSignup’s patent-pending calendar-base technology is built on a true calendar, at every level of infrastructure. This makes it easier to setup your time slots, make individual and bulk updates, and offer self-serve participant management.

Can attendees transfer tickets?

Yes. TicketSignup offers comprehensive ticket management for both the event director and the attendee. As an organizer, you can set the parameters for self-serve participant management, and then sit back as attendees help themselves (no email support required).

Self-serve ticket management options for calendar-based timed entry ticketing include ticket transfers, transfer to a friend, add-on purchases (after the initial sale), and upgrades. All this means that ticket management isn’t only easier: it’s also likely to boost your revenue.

How much does Calendar-Based Timed Entry Ticketing cost?

TicketSignup’s calendar-based timed entry ticketing is available for the same low cost as simple ticketing: just $0.40 per ticket (plus cc processing of $0.30 + 2.9%). Fees are typically passed onto ticket purchasers (although events can opt to cover them).

That low fee includes everything TicketSignup offers: ticketing, but also free (unlimited) email marketing, a free, branded event website, a flexible on-site app for check-in and fulfillment, an AI Chatbot for customer support, human-powered support for the event director, and much more.

Is it hard to set up Calendar-Based Timed Entry Ticketing? Can you help me?

Calendar-based timed entry ticketing can be set up by the event organizer through the intuitive Setup Wizard, and TicketSignup offers a comprehensive library of help documentation.

However, our support team is always here to help if you need! We offer 100% US-based support 7-days a week, with a speedy average response time of less than 32 minutes. If you’re just getting started, you can schedule a call with our sales team; if you have a specific question, email info@ticketsignup.io or complete a support ticket.

Can I set different pricing or caps for different dates and time slots?

Yes. TicketSignup’s flexible, calendar-based setup makes it simple to set custom pricing and caps. You can set your pricing and caps in bulk based on patterns (day of the week, time slot, ticket type), and add in overrides for any days that do not follow a standard.
