[Ticket Fairy](https://www.ticketfairy.com/) 2. [Guides](https://www.ticketfairy.com/guides) 3. Keep a risk register for your event Site, suppliers and safety # Keep a risk register for your event You keep a risk register for your event for licensing, insurers and your own peace of mind. In the register, each risk has a score, an owner and a date, next to the incidents your team logs, and nothing is ever deleted. Fai, your AI teammate, can check sales, update your event or change a ticket when you ask. Takes: 6 minutes - [Open the risk register](#step-1) - [Let Fai draft your risks](#step-2) - [Add the risks you keep](#step-3) - [Add a risk of your own](#step-4) - [Record what you are doing and who owns it](#step-5) - [Mark a risk controlled, accepted or closed](#step-6) ## Before you start - You are an owner, admin or producer on the event. Only those roles can open the event's **Operations** page. 1. ## Open the risk register Open the event, select **Operations**, then select **Risks** in the list of sections. **Note:** Each risk shows its score, owner, review date and status, highest score first, and **Still open** leaves out closed risks. If Risks is not in the list, select **More sections** and open it there. ![Risk register for a festival, with each risk's score, likelihood and impact, owner, review date and status](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-staffing--risks.png) *The risk register.* 2. ## Let Fai draft your risks Select **Let Fai draft your risks**, check **People at the busiest time** and **Indoors or outdoors?**, then select **Draft again** if you changed them. **Note:** Fai drafts from your event type, size, dates and finish time, and from incidents at your earlier events, and says why each risk is on the list. She leaves out risks your register already covers. ![Dialog with Fai's draft risk list for an outdoor festival, each risk with its score, the reason it is listed and a tick box](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-staffing--draft-risks.png) *Fai's draft risk list.* 3. ## Add the risks you keep Untick anything that does not apply, then select the add button, for example "Add 4 risks". **Note:** Nothing is saved until you add them, and each one shows **Drafted by Fai** on the register. You can change each one afterwards. 4. ## Add a risk of your own Select **Add a risk**, enter **What could go wrong?**, choose **How likely?** and **How bad would it be?**, then select **Add risk**. **Note:** The score is how likely times how bad, from 1 to 25: 15 or more is High, 8 to 14 Medium and 7 or less Low. We work it out for you, so you never enter it. 5. ## Record what you are doing and who owns it Select a risk, enter **What you're doing about it** one action per line, then set **Who owns it** and **Review by** and select **Save**. **Note:** Change how likely or how bad as your plans take effect, and the score changes with them. If a teammate saved in the meantime, the form reloads their version for you to check rather than overwriting it. ![The Edit risk dialog with what could go wrong, how likely, how bad, the score, what you are doing about it, type, owner and review date](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-staffing--edit-risk.png) *Edit a risk.* 6. ## Mark a risk controlled, accepted or closed Select **Mark controlled**, **Accept** or **Close** on the risk's row. **Note:** Controlled means your actions are in place, and Accepted means you have decided to live with it. You can bring back a closed risk with **Reopen**, and we keep every change in its history. ## Or have it done for you Fai reads the register, builds a draft from your event without saving it, adds risks one at a time or many at once, edits them and marks them controlled, accepted, closed or open again. She shows you each change and waits for your yes first. Risks are never deleted. Your own AI assistant can read the register, add a risk and change its status over the MCP server, after your approval in your MCP client. ### In your dashboard, with Fai ``` Draft a risk register for , an outdoor festival for 8,000 people, and show me before you add anything ``` ### From your own assistant, over MCP Connect your assistant to [our MCP server](https://www.ticketfairy.com/mcp-server) and ask it: The copied MCP configuration includes `--read-only`. Remove `--read-only` only when you want your assistant to make changes. Your assistant makes routine changes when you ask, and checks with you before a destructive action if your client supports that. If your client cannot ask, make the change in your dashboard. ``` Find my event , show me its risk register, and ask me before you add or change a risk ``` ## From your terminal Install the CLI from [our CLI page](https://www.ticketfairy.com/cli), sign in with `ticketfairy auth login`, and choose the brand you are working on with `ticketfairy brand use `. `ticketfairy brand list` and `ticketfairy event list` show the IDs the other commands use. Use the CLI to list the risks, add one and change a risk's status. ### List the risks. ``` ticketfairy event-os risks list ``` ### Add a risk, with how likely it is and how bad it would be, each from 1 to 5. ``` ticketfairy event-os risks add --title "" --likelihood --impact --owner "" ``` ### Mark a risk as controlled. ``` ticketfairy event-os risks set-status --status mitigated --note "" ``` ## Questions you might have **Can I delete a risk?** No. We never delete risks, so your register keeps its history for licensing and insurers. Close a risk that no longer applies. **Is Fai's draft a risk assessment?** It is a starting list for you to check. Follow your own risk assessment and the advice of your security and medical providers. **Why did Fai add a risk about a past incident?** Your team logged incidents like it at your earlier events, and the draft shows how many beside the risk. ## Still have a question?
