1 | Why tickets & bundles matter #
A well-structured catalog is the backbone of any theme park ticketing system. Clear ticket types, smart calendars, and value-packed bundles:
- shorten the checkout flow
- prevent overselling on peak days
- let you upsell higher-margin products (family packs, meal add-ons)
- improve SEO by matching the exact phrases guests search for, like “child admission tickets” or “weekend fast-lane pass”
2 | Prerequisites #
| You need | Notes |
|---|---|
| Oveit account with the Attractions module | Free 14-day trial works. |
| Operating calendar | Know your open dates and daily max capacity. |
| Price strategy | Base price, weekend uplift, and promo windows. |
3 | Step-by-step: Create your first ticket #
3.1 Add a new ticket #
- From Attraction → Tickets, click New ticket.
- Name: keep it short and SEO-rich (e.g., “Child Day Pass”).
- Price: enter the base amount (you can override this later for weekends or special days).
- Description (optional but recommended): 1–2 sentences that restate “theme park name tickets” naturally—this copy appears on the public checkout page and helps Google understand the page topic.
Example
Child Day Pass – access to all rides and shows in Pixel World Fun Land. Part of our easy, calendar-based theme park tickets booking powered by Oveit.
3.2 Schedule & availability #
This panel controls when—and how many—tickets are sold.
| Mode | When to use it | Setup tips |
|---|---|---|
| No calendar | One-off events or unlimited virtual passes. | Capacity is global, not per day. |
| Every day | Standard for attractions open most days. | Define a Sales start and Sales end if you sell seasonally. |
| Specific date range | Seasonal parks or Halloween-style events. | Set the range and capacity per day. |
| Selected weekdays | Different prices/limits for Fri-Sun vs. Mon-Thu. | Perfect for weekend surge pricing. |
| Specific days | Holidays or special events (e.g., 4 July). | Create a unique price and quota. |
Capacity rule
0 = unlimited. Any other number caps daily sales.
Example: 500 means only 500 Child Day Passes per day.
3.3 Fine-tune pricing by day #
Click Schedule & Availability → Weekdays or Specific days.
- Weekend uplift: raise the price when demand is highest.
- Mid-week discount: lower price on Tuesday/Wednesday to drive volume.
- Holiday special: set a unique price for New Year’s Eve or 4 July.
4 | Build bundles to boost order value #
Bundles package multiple tickets under one SKU and give guests a single QR/RFID credential. (Oveit Bundles)
| Bundle idea | Contents | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Family Pack | 2 Adult + 2 Child tickets | One-click checkout, automatic discount |
| School Trip (30 + 2) | 30 Child + 2 Adult + Meal add-on | Easy invoicing and head-count control |
| Weekend Fast-Lane | Any base ticket + Fast-lane add-on | Monetise queue-skipping privileges |
How to create
- Go to Bundles → New bundle.
- Add existing ticket types into the bundle.
- Override the total price (optional).

5 | Publish & test #
- Preview the ticket page to ensure the right dates, prices, and capacities show.
- Buy a $0.01 test ticket with your coupon code.

7 | Best Practices for High-Conversion Tickets #

- Use weekday discounts to fill slow days.
- Highlight savings on bundle tiles (“Save 15 %”).
- Test tickets internally before going live—check price, capacity, and scanning.
8 | FAQ #
| Question | Quick answer |
|---|---|
