Ticketing for things to do
Bonfire night or bowling.Booked ahead.
Adult and family tickets, arrival times and extras, on your own website as well as on Covered. Ticket money goes into your own account every Monday.
Knowing who's coming beats guessing on the night. Sell it ahead, and you staff it, stock it and plan it properly. And the money's in your bank on Monday, not a week after the fireworks.

Built for things to do
Everything an event needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
Whatever you're running, sell it the way people actually come: in families, in groups, at the time that suits them.
Tickets for everyone
Sell adult, child and family tickets, each with its own price and number available.
Arrival times
Stagger guests across the day, so the door and the car park aren't hit all at once.
Extras at checkout
Sell parking, food or a programme with the ticket, paid for before anyone arrives.
Discount codes
Give a code to your mailing list or a local partner, as a percentage off or a fixed price.
Check-in at the door
Scan tickets with the free Covered Entry app on as many phones as you need.
Paid every Monday
Money lands in your own Stripe account and pays out weekly, not weeks after the event.
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 staff, stock and the site before the doors open.

Questions
Things to do, 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 sell adult and child tickets?+–
Yes. Add each one as its own ticket, with its own price and number available.
Can guests pick a time to arrive?+–
Yes. Add arrival times to the event and each guest picks one as they book.
Can I offer a discount?+–
Yes. Create a discount code, as a percentage off or a fixed price, for the tickets you choose, and share it however you like.
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.
