# Run ticketing for a nightclub

Nightclub owners and venue teams put on the same night every week, and one setup carries all of those dates. You set one night up in full, duplicate it for every date, and put the whole program on one public page for buyers. Your venue team gets the access each job needs, and you can see who keeps coming back.

Set up one night in full, duplicate it for every date, give your venue team the right access, and see who comes back.

For:  Nightclub owners and venue teams running a regular program of ticketed nights

Takes:  12 minutes

- [Set up your permanent venue team](#step-1)
- [Build the setup you want to repeat](#step-2)
- [Prepare each new night from the reference event](#step-3)
- [Create a public series for recurring nights](#step-4)
- [Set each night's tickets, promoters and door](#step-5)
- [Find the people who come back](#step-6)

## Before you start

- You're a brand owner or admin. You can manage the permanent team, create and duplicate events, change tickets and publish.
- You know each room's safe capacity and which entrances your door team will use.
- You have agreed your usual ticket releases, guest-list policy, table packages and last entry.
- You know who needs access across the venue and who only needs access to particular events.

1. ## Set up your permanent venue team

   Open **Brand**, then **Team**, and invite the people who work across your program with the role that matches their job, such as admin, stats, door staff or promoter.

   **Note:** Brand-team access carries across your events. Add visiting promoters and temporary door staff to an individual event when they only need access to that night.

2. ## Build the setup you want to repeat

   Create your first night with the **Club show** template, with early bird, advance and on the door releases, plus guest-list tickets and VIP booths when you offer them. This reference night also carries the capacity, age limit, ID policy, door time and last entry.

   **Note:** Finish the ticket names, allocations, sale windows, table packages and buyer information before you use this event as the starting point for later dates.

3. ## Prepare each new night from the reference event

   Duplicate the reference event with the parts you want to reuse, then enter the new event name, URL and dates. Allocations, sale windows, door times and last-entry times can change from one night to the next, so check them before publishing.

   **Note:** The duplicate form shows exactly which event details and optional features will carry into the new night.
          ![Ticket Fairy duplicate event form for preparing the next nightclub date](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-nightclub-operations--duplicate-night.png)    Events, Duplicate event.
4. ## Create a public series for recurring nights

   Open **Event Series** and create a series for the recurring night, with its name and description, the public series page turned on, its URL and each event date.

   **Note:** The public page lets buyers browse the dates together. The series stays private until you turn on its public page and give it a URL.
          ![Ticket Fairy event series form with its public page and URL set](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-nightclub-operations--public-event-series.png)    Brand, Event Series, Create Event Series.
5. ## Set each night's tickets, promoters and door

   Open the new night and set its ticket releases, guest list, VIP booths, promoter invitations, tracking links and door times. The guide to running ticketing for a club night covers each of those in the order a night needs them.

   **Note:** Agree who handles scanner handover, guest-list questions and entry decisions before doors open.
   **Tip:** A duplicated night already carries the reference setup, so start at its ticket releases.
6. ## Find the people who come back

   Open **Customers** on the brand to find the people who have bought for more than one of your nights. Each row holds one person, the events they ordered from, the tickets they ordered and what they spent.

   **Note:** Complimentary tickets do not add the recipient to **Customers**. The guide to understanding who buys tickets across your events explains every column.

## Or have it done for you

Fai can invite your permanent team, build the reference night, copy it for each new date, publish it and show you who buys across your nights.

### In your dashboard, with Fai

Copy \<REFERENCE NIGHT NAME\> for our night on \<DATE\>, keep the ticket types, table packages and door times, and show me the new event before I publish it

## 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 <BRAND_ID>`. `ticketfairy brand list` and `ticketfairy event list` show the IDs the other commands use.

Use the command line to copy a prepared night for a new date, publish it and check how it sold. Invite the permanent team and build the public series in the dashboard.

### Copy the reference night as a draft with its ticket and table types, team, promotions, emails, contacts and FAQs. Enter the start and end as local date and time, such as 2026-10-10T22:00:00; sale windows and door times move by the same number of whole days.

ticketfairy event clone \<EVENT\_ID\> --body '{"data": {"displayName": "\<NEW EVENT NAME\>", "slug": "", "shortName": "", "startDate": "\<NEW START\>", "endDate": "\<NEW END\>", "ticketTypes": true, "team": true, "credentials": false, "preRegistration": false, "promotions": true, "delegations": false, "emailTemplates": true, "contacts": true, "faqs": true}}'

### Publish the new night.

ticketfairy event publish \<EVENT\_ID\>

### Check how a night sold.

## Questions you might have

Should every night use the same ticket setup?:  Use your reference event for the details that stay consistent, then tailor the new date to its expected demand, lineup, rooms, table packages, guest list and entry policy.

How should I handle an outside promoter hiring the venue?:  Add them to that one event's team rather than your brand team, so they only see the night they hired. Give them Administrator when they build the night's tickets, guest list and publishing themselves, or Promoter when your team builds the night and they sell it through their own promoter link. The venue playbook walks both, with delegations and holds for partners.
