Build a timed-entry event
- Create the event and select its timezone.
- In Dates & Times, choose Time Based, click Add Times, and enter the date range and session times. Add additional time slots as needed, then create the schedule.
- In Tickets, create the ticket types and set their available quantities and minimum/maximum per order. Check the resulting occurrences before selling so each session has the intended capacity.
- Configure sales start/end and Advance Purchase Window if needed. The advance purchase setting requires a minimum number of days ahead; it is not the furthest date a visitor can book.
- Set early, delayed, or late check-in controls to match your arrival policy. Delayed check-in takes precedence over an early window.
- Save and open the public calendar or time-slot selector. On Shopify, use the Ticket Selector for this booking experience.
Verify capacity and admission
Check two dates and two times on each date. Confirm the selected occurrence appears in the summary and ticket. Test a sold-out or unavailable slot and an invalid quantity. A recurring schedule creates dates; it does not by itself grant one buyer admission to all dates. For repeat admission, set the appropriate Check-In Limit and Ticket Validity, or use a membership with total and per-event visit limits. Explain the scope on the ticket description so a customer knows whether they are buying one session, re-entry, or a multi-event entitlement. For a festival with workshops, use event add-ons to sell session selections and Required Ticket for a same-order ticket prerequisite.Related guides
