The short answer
Make the Saturday session a series: one event, repeating weekly, one link. Turn on Subscribe on the series and set the monthly price. Someone who subscribes holds a ticket to every session from then on, with the same QR each week, until they cancel.
Single tickets sit beside the subscription on the same page, so a first-timer buys one Saturday and a regular subscribes. The cap counts both. If the room is twelve reformers, it is twelve people, however they paid.
The morning after each session the report says who came, who was new and who has missed three in a row. That last list is the one a studio owner cannot get from a bank statement, and it is where a quiet word keeps a member.

Weekly Reformer Pilates
Reformer pilates, 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.
- Ten reformers, one to a booking
- A required health question
- Weekly, ready for a subscription
Which fits your event?
Start from the one requirement that decides it.
| Your main requirement | Start with |
|---|---|
| A studio timetable with twenty classes a week and swaps between them | Your studio software |
| One weekly event, the same room, the same people | A subscription on a series, on One Ticket |
| A ten-week term, paid once, then it ends | A season pass, on One Ticket |
| Casual attendance with the odd regular | Tickets, and a subscription for the regular who asks |
The first row is the honest one. A whole timetable is a different product, and studio software does it well.
How it works in practice
A subscription is a monthly charge on a series. It is not a membership with swaps across a timetable.
| What you set | What the subscriber gets |
|---|---|
| A weekly series | One link, every Saturday on it |
| Subscribe on, monthly price | A ticket to every session until they cancel |
| A cap of twelve | Counted with the single tickets |
| A refund cutoff | Applies to single tickets; a subscriber simply skips a week |
| The morning-after report | Who came, who was new, who is drifting |
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 |
