Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I setup my first event?
You can create and publish your event in less than five minutes. Just add your event details, create your ticket types, and you're ready to start selling tickets. It's that simple!
What information do I need to create an event?
All you need are the basics: event name, date, time, venue and description. You setup the basics such as venue capacity and ticket types, then add images, seating plans, custom form and more whenever you're ready.
Don't worry if you're not 100% about the detail - you can go back and change them at any time.
Can I preview my event before going live?
Yes, you can preview your event exactly as ticket buyers will see it before opening bookings. Test the full booking process yourself to make sure everything looks and works perfectly. Make any changes you need, then open ticket sales when you're ready.
Can I create different ticket types and prices?
Absolutely. All your ticket prices live in your pricing group, where you can create as many different tickets as you need. For each type, you can set different prices, early bird rates, capacities, and limit quantities. It's completely flexible to match how you want to manage your event.
Can I use TryBooking to sell tickets to private events?
Absolutely! You can keep your event completely private - perfect for corporate functions, members-only gatherings, or invitation-only celebrations. Just switch your event to private in your event settings, and your event won't appear anywhere on TryBooking or search engines.
You'll still get a unique booking link to share however you choose - email it to your guest list, post it in a private group, or text it directly. You stay in complete control of who sees and books your event.
Can I collect guest data during the booking process?
Yes, you can add custom registration forms to gather any information you need from your guests. Whether it's dietary requirements, emergency contacts, accessibility needs, t-shirt sizes, or workshop preferences - you create the questions and choose whether they're required or optional.
You can even set questions to appear for specific ticket types only, or ask once per booking rather than for each ticket. All the responses are included in your reporting.
Can I send emails to people who've bought tickets?
Yes, you can email your attendees whenever you need to throughout your event journey. Send important updates, venue changes, parking information, or exciting announcements to everyone who's bought tickets. You can email all attendees at once or target specific dates and sections - perfect for sending VIP instructions or workshop details to just those groups.
TryBooking also automatically sends booking confirmations when people buy tickets and reminder emails before your event, so the essentials are covered without you lifting a finger.
Which payment methods can attendees use?
Ticket buyers can pay however suits them - using their Visa/Mastercard credit or debit card, PayPal, or digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. You can also setup gift certificates to boost your revenue.
If you're wanting to accept cash payments, our Box Office app makes this simple, keeping all ticket data in one place and allowing them to receive their ticket via email.
Can I sell tickets at the door?
Absolutely! Our Box Office app turns your phone into a door sales point. Take contactless card payments with Tap to Pay or record cash sales - everything syncs instantly with your online sales so you won't oversell. Door buyers get their tickets emailed immediately, and all your sales stay together in one report.
For checking in guests who've already bought tickets, just use our mobile scanning app. No special equipment needed - just download the apps to your phone and you're ready.
Can I clone my event for next year?
Definitely! Running annual events, weekly classes, or regular quiz nights? Just hit 'clone' on any past event and everything copies over - your ticket types, prices, custom registration questions, seating plans, the lot. Update the date and any details that have changed, then you're ready to go.
What if I need help setting up my event?
We're here to help you get your event up and running smoothly. Our friendly support team is available by phone, email, or live chat if you get stuck or just want someone to talk through your options. We've also got a comprehensive Learning Centre with step-by-step guides, video tutorials, and answers to common questions.
Most event organisers find they can set everything up themselves, but it's nice to know help is there if you need it. No question is too small - we've helped thousands of events across the UK, so we've pretty much seen it all!
Can I customise my own event page?
Yes, you can fully customise your own event pages. We also provide widgets to allow you to integrate your event pages onto your website, social media pages, blogs and emails.
How does TryBooking protect my event data?
All your event and attendee data is encrypted and stored securely on UK-based servers. We're fully PCI compliant for payment processing and never store complete credit card details - only the last 4 digits for your reference.
We use secure connections for all data transmission, multi-factor authentication for account access, and maintain regular security updates. Your data remains your data, and we only use it to run your events.
