WHAT WE HELP WITH

Events we help festivals run

From 10 guests to 10,000, TryBooking stays in the background so you can focus on what matters. Quietly doing its thing while you do yours.

Food and wine festivals

Timed entry, ticket limits, dietary collection. Sell food tokens online before gates open.

Cultural and community festivals

Free events free. Registrations, attendee details, multi-day tracking.

Arts and music festivals

Multiple stages and venues. Day passes, weekend passes, individual performances.

Markets and fairs

Stall bookings for vendors and entry tickets for visitors, one event page.

Fundraising events

Pair tickets with fundraising pages. Donations alongside registrations.

Multi-session event setup in TryBooking

Multi-day and single-day passes

Sell weekend passes, day passes and single-event tickets from one festival page, with timed entry and capacity per area. Set up once, duplicate for next year.

Embeddable booking widget on a festival website

Bookings on your own site

Embed the full booking flow straight into your festival website with our widget. Visitors browse line-ups, pick their passes and pay without ever leaving your page, your brand front and centre, no redirect to a third-party site.

No account for visitors

No account for visitors

No app, no login, no password. Visitors buy, get confirmation, show up. For community festivals, fewer barriers mean broader reach.
