Event manager training

What you'll learn#

Managers plan and run the season: festival days, meals and tickets. This guide covers each task and the habits that keep the committee's numbers right.

Module 1: Find your way around (3 min)#

• The sidebar lists every area. Areas marked Soon are on their way.
• The season picker in the top bar shows which season you're looking at. Check it before you edit anything.
• The Overview shows the season's checklist and counts.

Module 2: Festival days (5 min)#

1. Open the season

   Seasons → select the season's name.

2. Add each day

   Add a day with the date, start and end time, venue and full address. Read more.

Module 3: Meals (7 min)#

1. Agree the plan with your caterer

   Which meals on which days, the maximum you can serve, and the dietary options you'll actually cook.

2. Create each meal slot

   Meals & RSVPs → Add a meal: day, name, serving time, adult and child price, capacity and dietary options. Read more.

3. Pause, don't delete

   If a meal fills up or needs fixing once RSVPs start, use Pause. Deleting loses the record.

Module 4: Tickets (5 min)#

1. Decide the ticket mix

   A season pass (valid for All days), day tickets, or both.

2. Create each ticket type

   Tickets → Add a ticket type: price, quantity, maximum per order and optional sales dates. Read more.
