🗓 Calendar View for Timed Entry Events

We’ve released a new Dates & Timeslots feature to help event organizers manage multi-day or timed entry events more efficiently. This update introduces a calendar selection view that allows attendees to choose specific event dates & times, making it easier to find the right time and boosting conversions for timed entry or series-based events.

✅ What’s New

• A visual calendar that shows available event dates.
• Clear layout for timed entry or season pass ticket options.
• Flexible scheduling across multiple days or weeks.
• Built for events like light shows, attractions, museum entries, seasonal walk-throughs, and more.

Here's what the attendee experience looks like:

🔧 How to Enable It

To activate this feature for your event:

1. Log in to your Big Tickets admin account.
2. Navigate to My Events > Manage Events > Edit Event.
3. Click on the Tickets tab.
4. Under your ticket type(s), click Advanced Ticket Type Settings.
5. Find the section labeled Dates & Timeslots.
6. Enable the toggle and begin selecting the dates your ticket should be valid for.

You’ll be able to set:

• Available event dates on a calendar.
• Timed entry options (e.g., morning, afternoon, evening).
• Entry and sales start/end dates for better inventory control.

Once enabled, your attendees will see a streamlined, mobile-friendly calendar to pick the day that works best for them.

💡 Use Cases

This is ideal for:

• Holiday attractions & seasonal events
• Timed entry museums or galleries
• Festivals with daily access options
• Long-running shows with limited daily capacity

📌 Pro Tips

• Combine this with our Season Pass or All Dates ticket types for bundled access.
• Set limits per date/time to manage capacity and avoid overcrowding.
• Use post-event emails to send thank-yous or upsell other dates.
