Set up a whole season from a spreadsheet
A tour, a season, a term of classes: set them all up at once instead of one by one.
By Mark Hinds LinkedIn ·
If you run one event, setting it up takes a couple of minutes. If you run twenty (a comedy tour, a season of gigs, a term of workshops at different venues), it takes an afternoon of copying and pasting.
Not any more. TicketOtter can now import your events from a spreadsheet.
It suits you because you can set up multiple events really easily. You can use the AI otter, or do it yourself, and recreate the events over and over again.
We have a weekly sculpture class using the system now. She uploads her monthly dates, and that’s it, done. She forgets about it and just waits for her money to come in.
Go to ticketotter.com, sign up, get your events online, put your Stripe account in, press publish. That’s it. You get your QR codes, your links, everything. You’re ready to sell tickets.
How it works
Go to My events and press Import events.
Download the template and add one row per event: name, date, start and end time, and the venue (or an online link for an online event). A ticket price and the number of tickets are optional.
Want every event to look the same? Pick one of your existing events to copy. Each imported event gets its description, images, page design and tickets, so your spreadsheet only needs the dates and venues.
Upload the file (Excel or CSV), or paste the rows straight from your spreadsheet.
Checked before anything is saved
Every row is checked first. If a date is in the past or a venue is missing, nothing is imported and you see exactly which rows to fix. When it’s all fine, your events are created as drafts, so nothing goes on sale until you’ve checked them over and pressed Publish all.
Uploaded the wrong file? Undo the whole upload in one go, as long as nobody has booked yet.
Faster still
Prefer not to use a spreadsheet? Evie the Otter, our AI assistant, can set up an event from a few questions, and Mark reckons that takes anything from 30 seconds:
It depends how skilled you are at using our very, very simple website: probably about a minute and a half. Or use Evie, the AI agent Alex has set up, where you just type in your details and she populates the whole thing. All you’ve got to do is check it.
So it can take you anything from 30 seconds to about two and a half minutes.
Go to ticketotter.com, sign up, get your events online, put your Stripe account in, press publish. That’s it. You get your QR codes, your links, everything. You’re ready to sell tickets.
