What is an event booking system?

- Create and schedule events
- Set dates, sessions, and availability
- Sell tickets and packages online
- Offer tickets, packages and add-ons
- Take online payments
- Manage customer bookings
- Set and manage capacity
- Manage customer check-in
- Track bookings, attendance, and revenue
Whether you’re running a one-off event or a regular programme of events, WannaBook gives your team the tools to manage the booking process from one place.
Manage more than just event tickets
Running an event involves more than selling a ticket. You need to decide when your event is running, how many people can attend, what customers can book, and what information your team needs. WannaBook brings these parts of the booking process together.
Before your event
Set up your event, dates, sessions, and availability, then decide what customers can book.
When customers book
Customers can select an available event or session, choose their booking options, and complete their payment online.
When you’re managing the event
Keep track of bookings, availability, and customer information from one place.
On the day
Use your booking information and QR code scanning to help manage customer arrivals and check-in.
After the event
Review your booking information and event data to understand attendance, revenue, capacity usage, and peak times.
Everything you need to manage your events
WannaBook gives you the tools to manage your event bookings from setup through to customer arrival.
Create and schedule events
Set up your events and decide when they’re available to book. Create different dates and sessions to suit the way your event runs, while keeping your availability organised.
Manage event availability
Set capacity limits for your events and sessions. WannaBook automatically applies your capacity rules as bookings are made, helping prevent overselling and keeping availability up to date.
Sell tickets, packages and add-ons
Give customers more ways to book. Alongside tickets, you can offer packages, upgrades and add-ons as part of the booking journey. This gives you the flexibility to build the booking options around your event.
Take online event bookings
Give customers a straightforward way to book your events online. Customers can select an event or session, check availability, complete their booking and receive their booking confirmation and digital ticket.
Manage group bookings
Make it easier to manage bookings for groups, families, parties and larger bookings. Keep the booking information together so your team has the details they need when customers arrive.
Keep customer information together
Keep booking and customer information connected, giving your team a clearer view of who is attending and what they’ve booked.
Manage event check-in
When customers arrive, your team can use booking information and QR code scanning to help manage check-in. This gives your team a quick way to manage arrivals and keep track of who has checked in.
Track event performance
Use your booking data to understand how your events are performing. WannaBook can provide information on bookings, attendance, revenue, capacity usage, and peak times, helping you see what’s happening across your events.
