Rooftop ticketing
Sell the sunset.Seat by seat.
Tables, arrival slots and drinks packages, plus group bookings where everyone pays their own share. Money goes into your own account every Monday.
Everyone wants the same table at the same golden hour. So let them book it, and pay for it, before they climb the stairs. Your terrace, your guests, your money, in your account every Monday.

Built for rooftops
Everything a terrace needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
You've only got so many seats with a view. Sell them in advance, in the slots you want them filled.
Real tables
Draw your terrace and each party is given a real table. Your staff see exactly who's sitting where.
Arrival slots
Stagger guests across the evening, so the lift, the door and the bar aren't hit all at once.
Group bookings
On seated events, one person holds the table and everyone else pays their own share.
Drinks packages
Sell a spritz package or a bottle for the table with the booking, at checkout rather than at the bar.
A waitlist when you sell out
Guests leave their details. If a place comes back, the next in line gets an email and a head start to book it.
Paid every Monday
Money lands in your own Stripe account and pays out weekly, so stock and staff are paid for before the season's over.
Group bookings
The table for ten, sorted.
The birthday booking is one person paying for ten and chasing the rest for weeks. With Covered, each friend pays their own share.

Payouts
Paid every Monday. Not after the event.
The big ticketing platforms hold your money until your event is over, and then you wait for the payout. On Covered, ticket money goes into your own Stripe account and reaches your bank every week while you're still selling. That pays for stock and staff before the first table sits down.
CoveredEvery Monday, from your first sale
Eventbrite3 business days after the event, by default
SkiddleAfter the event, in twice-weekly runs

From each platform’s published payout terms, October 2026. Eventbrite: Can pay during sales once you've already run and been paid for a paid event with them. Skiddle: Can pay as you sell through your own Stripe account, without Skiddle's protections. Fatsoma: Payouts are requested by the organiser and take up to 3 working days to arrive. Covered: A brand-new account's first payout can take a little longer while Stripe verifies the business.

Questions
Rooftops, answered.
When do I get paid?+–
Every Monday, while you're still selling. Payments go straight into your own Stripe account and pay out to your bank weekly, not after the event as on most ticketing platforms. A brand-new account's first payout can take a little longer while Stripe verifies your business.
Can I stagger arrivals?+–
Yes. Add arrival times to the event and each guest picks one as they book.
Can each guest in a group pay their own share?+–
Yes, on seated events. One person starts a group and the table is held for them. They share a link, friends each pay their own share, and the table is booked when the group fills or time runs out. Cards are only held until then, and if the group doesn't go ahead, nobody is charged.
Can I sell drinks packages?+–
Yes. Add extras such as a spritz package or a bottle for the table, and guests add them while they book.
How much does Covered cost?+–
Nothing to start and no monthly fee to sell tickets. Covered's fee is 5% + card processing (minimum 30p per ticket), which you can pass on to guests as a booking fee or cover yourself. Card processing is billed by Stripe to your own Stripe account.
Can I take bookings on my own website?+–
Yes. Paste two lines of code and the full booking flow appears on your site, as well as on Covered and in the Covered Discover app.
