Adding a booking by hand

Not every booking arrives through the website. Add Booking opens the same editor you get from Edit on a row.

The booking editor

Details

Event and Date : What they are coming to. Changing the date on an existing booking moves the attendees with it.

Customer : Search the ones you have, or press New customer and type a name and email. A customer created here behaves like any other: they get a record, and their bookings gather under it.

Status : Approved, Pending, Canceled, Rejected. Changing it fires the Booking status changes workflow, so the customer can be told without you writing an email.

Note : For you, not for them.

Tickets

The Tickets tab of a booking

A row per ticket type with a quantity. Add and remove rows to change what the booking is for; the order recalculates as you go.

Booking by hand still respects capacity: you cannot put eleven people into ten places.

Attendees

The Attendees tab of a booking

One block per seat, with whichever fields the ticket type asks for. Same as customer copies the details you already have, which is what you want for a single ticket. Each attendee here gets their own code, and can be checked in individually.

Payment

A booking made by hand starts unpaid unless your defaults say otherwise (Settings → General settings → Bookings). Record what you take through the Payments screen or the Create payment record button on the booking's info dialog — see Recording money.
