For comedy clubs and comedy rooms
They buy the night, not the names.
Friday at eight sells out before anyone knows who is on it. A music venue sells the band; you sell the room. So put the night on sale first and add the comics once you have booked them.

Participants
Added Wednesday, once the bill is booked.
One recurring event. On sale since January, and it has never needed a new link.
The night
One room, three businesses.
Tuesday is free and full. Thursday costs twelve. The weekend pays for the week. They are different products in one space, and each is a single recurring event you set up once.
- One night, one event - Pick the day and the hour. Change the time once and every week after it follows.
- Dark weeks come out - A date exception drops the week you are closed without disturbing the rest of the run.
- Keep them apart - Sub-schedules put the open mic, the showcase and the weekend on their own strands of the same link.
Free Recurring nights, date exceptions and sub-schedules are on the free plan.

Your bill is also six other calendars.
Add the comics to the show as participants. For everyone who already runs a schedule here, your Friday turns up on their page too.
They already have a schedule
The date arrives on their own page for them to accept, or immediately if they have put your club on their approved list. Nobody is retyping your booking.
They do not have one yet
You are creating a profile for them, and you can tick a box to email an invitation to claim it. Until they claim it, that profile has no public page of its own.
You enter it once
The bill lives on the show. Change it on Wednesday and every place it appears changes with it.
Waiting for you
3 requestsThe third posted itself: that comic is on the club's approved list.
Booking
Stop booking the room out of your inbox.
Every comic in the city wants a spot, and right now they are asking you in four different apps. Turn on booking requests and the asks arrive in one place, already attached to the date they are for.
Nothing posts without you
Every request waits for you to accept it, so the public calendar only ever shows the bill you agreed to.
You are told they are waiting
New pending requests are emailed to the club, so a spot request does not rot in a notification tab.
Regulars skip the queue
Put the comics you book every month on an approved list and their submissions post straight away, as long as they send them from their own schedule.
Free Booking requests and the approved list cost nothing.
Selling the room
Sold out on Friday. Still open for next Friday.
Every ticket type carries its own price and its own count, and the count is kept per night - so selling out one week leaves the next one untouched.
Friday, 8:00pm
ProThree ticket types on one recurring night.
A ticket type can also be given a date to go on sale or come off it, once, for the whole run.
QR check-in
ProScan tickets at the door from a phone, with a live view so two people can work a queue that all turns up at once.
Zero platform fees
ProYou keep the ticket price minus what Stripe charges to process the card. Nothing is taken on top of that.
The open mic stays free
FreeA free night takes registrations up to a capacity instead of tickets, so you know the count without charging anybody.

Stand-Up Clubs
Two shows on a Friday and two on a Saturday, each its own event with its own count on the door.

Asked at the box office.
Is Event Schedule free for comedy clubs?
Running the room is free forever: the weekly nights as recurring events, date exceptions for the weeks you are dark, free registration with a capacity for open mics, booking requests from comics with an approved list for your regulars, sub-schedules, two-way calendar sync, an embeddable calendar and up to 10 newsletter emails a month, counted per recipient rather than per send. Selling tickets is on the Pro plan at $5 a month, and Event Schedule charges zero platform fees on sales.
Can I put tickets on sale before I have booked the lineup?
Yes, and that is the normal way round for a comedy room. The night is one recurring event with its own ticket types, so Friday at eight can be on sale in January. Add the participants when you book them and the show updates in place, so nobody has to be sent a new link.
What happens to the comics I add to a show?
Adding someone as a participant attaches them to the event. If they already run their own schedule on Event Schedule, the date turns up there for them to accept, or straight away if they have added your club to their approved list. If they do not have one yet, you are creating a profile for them and you can tick a box to email them an invitation to claim it. Until they claim it, that profile has no public page of its own.
How do comics ask for a spot?
Turn on booking requests and comics can submit to your schedule instead of messaging you. Every request waits for you to accept it, and you are emailed when new ones are pending. Comics you book regularly can go on an approved list so their submissions post without waiting, as long as they are sending them from their own schedule.
Can I charge different prices for advance and at the door?
Yes. Set up two ticket types at different prices and sell both from the same night. Each type carries its own count, and the count is kept per occurrence, so a sold-out Friday does not stop next Friday selling. A type can also be given a single date to go on sale or come off it, which applies once to the whole run rather than repeating each week. Check people in by scanning a QR code, and take payment through your own Stripe account with no platform fee on top.
Free forever
Put Friday at eight on sale.
The night, the tickets and the bill, on one link that has not needed replacing since January.
