# How to Set Up an Attraction in Oveit: Quick-Start Guide to a Theme Park Ticketing System

### 1 | Name and Venue Type

1. **Attraction name** – Enter a clear, branded name; this appears on every guest-facing page.
2. **Venue type**
   - **Permanent venue** (default): perfect for parks that sell tickets all year, even if you open seasonally.
   - **Semi-permanent venue**: define a start–end date to limit ticketing to a specific season or festival window.

> **SEO tip:** Use your primary keyword—*"theme park name" ticketing*—once in the description field to strengthen search relevance.

### 2 | Location & Map Pin

- Add your **street address**, city, postcode, and country.
- Click **Place on map** to launch the drag-and-drop widget; drop the pin at your main entrance for accurate GPS links.

### 3 | Description & Media

| Section | Purpose | Best practice |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Description** | Generates a public landing page on Oveit’s domain. | Include a one-sentence value prop plus practical info (opening hours, highlights). |
| **Cover photo** | Hero image topping the booking page. | 1000 × 500 px, < 5 MB JPEG/PNG. |
| **Gallery** | Carousel visible on top of your landing page. | 5–8 lifestyle shots; |

### 4 | Advanced Settings

| Setting | When to use it | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Customer form** | Always enabled by default to capture billing details for invoices and payment processing. | Extend it by enabling to ask for extra data from your buyers |
| **Guest form** | Required when the buyer and attendees differ (e.g., family or school bookings). | Collect names, ages, allergies, or waiver confirmations. |
| **Seating / Seating chart** | Only for attractions with numbered seats (theater, arena). | Ignore for open-gate theme parks. |

### 5 | Save & Continue to Tickets

Click **Save** (or **Next**) to move to the ticket builder, where you will:

1. Create adult/child tickets.
2. Bundle family or school packs.
3. Add meal-plan or fast-lane add-ons.

*(Those steps are covered in our advanced article, “[Create Tickets & Bundles in Your Theme Park Ticketing System.](https://oveit.com/knowledge-base/attraction-ticket-bundles-boost-sales-streamline-group-bookings/)”)*
