The short answer
Make two ticket types: With a mat, capped at the number of mats you own, and Bring your own mat, a little cheaper. Put the cap on the event at the floor space, so the total never goes over however the room is split.
Add a required checkout question for anything your practice needs to know before the evening - pregnancy, a pacemaker, epilepsy, whatever your training says to ask - and the answers are against each order before you set up. For the evening itself, the reminder the day before can say to bring a blanket and arrive ten minutes early.
As a monthly series, the regulars can hold a season pass or a subscription instead of booking each month, and single tickets sit beside it on the same page. The morning after, the report says who came and who has stopped, and the event panel shows how many people looked at the page against how many booked.

Full Moon Sound Bath
Sound bath, already set up as an event you can open now. Pick a date and a venue, change what you like, and publish. Nothing is saved until you do, and you can start without an account.
- With a mat and bring your own mat tickets
- A required health question
- Monthly, with the waitlist on
Which fits your event?
Start from the one requirement that decides it.
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| A one-off at a festival tent | A single event |
| A monthly sound bath with regulars | A series, on One Ticket |
| Mats provided for some, others bring their own | Two ticket types under one cap, on One Ticket |
| A private session for a group or a workplace | A private event with a password |
The floor is the cap. The mats are a ticket type.
How it works in practice
Nothing here is health advice. The question at checkout is yours to write.
| Ticket type | Setting |
|---|---|
| With a mat | Capped at the number of mats |
| Bring your own mat | A little cheaper, no cap of its own |
| The event | Capped at the floor space, across both types |
| Health question | Required, answered at checkout |
| Regulars | A season pass or a subscription on the series |
One Ticket for a recurring room
Everything below follows from one decision: a series is one object, not a list of dates.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Who came back | After every session: how many came, how many had been before, who is new and who has stopped coming, by name, with an address to write to |
| Subscriptions | One subscription covers every session in a series. Each night's ticket is minted ahead of time |
| Paid out | Every ticket is charged to your own Stripe account. A new account is paid out to your bank two days after each event, once guests have said how it went; after a first clean event it is paid out as it sells |
| Fees | No platform fee on the ticket price. The buyer pays a booking fee: a platform tier of 35c to $1.45 a ticket, then 1.5% of the price above $100, plus card processing. On a $25 ticket that is $1.45 all in, so the buyer pays $26.45. Free tickets cost nothing |
| Refund if it changes | Move the date, start time or place after people have booked and every one of them can refund in full, booking fee included, until it starts, whatever your refund policy says. You are warned before you save, and everyone booked is emailed the new details |
| Refund requests | On a case-by-case event the buyer asks from their ticket. You have 3 days to refund or decline; a request nobody answers goes to One Ticket support, and your payouts are held until it is settled |
| Guest ratings | After each event, ticket holders rate it: stars and a few words. From 5 ratings the average shows under your name on every event page, good or bad. Notes are for you alone, and never say who wrote them |
| Scam protection | Every page is read before it can send an email, and our emails carry none of an organiser's own links or phone numbers. A new organiser's money is held until after the event, and anyone can report an event from its page |
| Verified tick | Earned by selling here: 3 past events, 25 tickets, no chargebacks, no ignored refund requests, and an average of 4 stars once there are 10 ratings. A chargeback or an ignored request takes it away at once |
| Block a person | Block an address from a ticket type, for this event or every one after it. No public list, no conversation at the door |
| Your page | Your colours, your title font, your cover. Nobody else's event on it |
| Import | Paste an Eventbrite link and the title, description, date, venue and ticket types come across |
| Not included | A marketplace. There is no search page and no audience to sell into; the people are the ones you bring |
