Reservations let customers book a specific table, booth, or area at your venue. Unlike tickets, a reservation is for a space rather than an individual entry — the customer tells you how many people will be in their party, and you receive one booking for the entire group.

Creating a reservation option

  1. Open your event in the admin panel.
  2. Scroll to the Booking Tiers section and click Add Booking Tier.
  3. Set the type to Reservation.
  4. Fill in the details below.
  5. Click Save.

How do customers complete a reservation?

  1. Customer selects the reservation type and specifies their party size.
  2. They enter any required details (occasion, special requests).
  3. They complete payment (or submit a request if approval is required).
  4. For instant confirmation: they receive a booking confirmation immediately.
  5. For approval-required: they receive a notification once you approve or decline.

Do reservations come with QR code entry passes?

No. Reservation bookings do not generate individual QR code entry passes. Instead, customers receive a booking confirmation reference. Your door team can verify reservations by checking the guest name or booking number against the admin panel.
