Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I setup my fireworks ticketing?
You can create and publish your fireworks ticketing 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 are your fees?
It's free to get started on TryBooking, and you'll only pay when you sell paid tickets.
For paid events, we offer two simple pricing options:
- Standard: 5% + 15p per ticket (inc VAT and payment processing)
- Stripe Connect: 75p per ticket (inc VAT) + Stripe fees
That's it - no setup fees, no monthly charges. Everything's included: your event page, customer support, and all our features. Running a free event? It stays completely free. Selling tickets? You only pay our simple fees on actual sales.
What information do I need to create an event?
All you need are the basics: display name, date, time, venue and description. You setup the basics such as capacity and ticket types, then add images, custom forms 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 customise my display page?
Yes, you can fully customise your display page. We also provide widgets to allow you to integrate your event page onto your website, social media pages, blogs and emails.
Can I preview my display before ticket sales start?
Yes, you can preview your ticketing 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 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 - 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 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.
Can we download registration data?
Yes - all data collected through TryBooking can be exported to CSV or PDF format, making it easy to update attendee lists, contact databases, or third-party platforms.
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! Just hit 'clone' on any past event and everything copies over - your ticket types, prices, custom registration questions, the lot. Update the date and any details that have changed, then you're ready to go.
Do I have to give my card details to sell tickets?
No, you don’t need to add your card details to sell tickets. Our fees are automatically deducted from your account balance or passed on to ticket buyers, depending on the option you’ve selected in your account.
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!
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.
