# Recurring Events and Class Scheduling

Run weekly shows, monthly workshops or a full season schedule without recreating every event. Whether you run a weekly comedy show, a monthly workshop series or a calendar of yoga classes, Equaticket generates and manages your event instances automatically: you set the template and the platform handles the rest. You can build and preview a series free; publishing a recurring series is included on any paid plan. Paid plans: Free, Starter $29/mo, Growth $79/mo, Pro $189/mo. Your first 100 paid tickets are free, with up to 500 free tickets per event.

## Two scheduling tools, one platform

Equaticket has two distinct scheduling systems for different kinds of operators. Which one fits depends on whether each date is its own event or buyers simply pick a time.

### Recurring Event Series: each date is its own event

Best for comedy clubs, concert series, workshop series, monthly programs and festival days.

- Each date gets its own full event page, with its own URL, title and listing.
- You manage a template, and instances are generated automatically on the schedule you set.
- Buyers browse individual dates and buy tickets for a specific event.
- You can market each date separately, with your own event page and your own Stripe payout per event.
- Supports weekly, biweekly and monthly (by date or weekday) schedules, and specific dates.

How it works:

- **Set up once, run forever.** Create a series template with title, description, venue, ticket types and pricing. Instances are generated automatically a set period ahead. A date placeholder in your title is replaced with the actual date of each instance.
- **Customize individual dates.** Each instance inherits from the template. Edit one date directly, for example a special guest or holiday pricing; your customizations are preserved when you update the template.
- **Bulk publish or publish by date.** Publish all upcoming draft instances in one click, or review and publish each individually. Buyers only see published instances.

### Time-Slot Booking: buyers pick from a calendar

Best for yoga studios, climbing gyms, cooking classes, escape rooms and fitness classes.

- Buyers see a booking calendar and pick the time that works for them.
- You configure capacity per slot, with no separate event page per session.
- All slots share the same setup, price and ticket type.
- Supports daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly and custom intervals.

How it works:

- **Calendar-first booking.** Buyers land on your booking page, see available slots, pick one and check out. No navigating between listings.
- **Per-slot capacity.** When a slot fills it shows as unavailable. A pause toggle blocks a slot for maintenance or a private booking without deleting it.
- **Check-in works the same way.** Slot tickets include a QR code and are scanned with the same Equaticket check-in app used for standard events.

## Which should I use?

If you would promote each date individually (its own social post, event listing and title), use Recurring Event Series. If buyers are just picking a time slot from your schedule, use Time-Slot Booking.

## Pricing

No per-ticket platform fees and no per-event setup fees. One flat subscription covers your schedule, plus Stripe card processing (2.9% + $0.30 in the US).
