Series: run a tour, a season, or a festival as one thing

New in v0.13.4

A tour is not twelve events. A season is not eight events. A festival is not a folder. They're one thing that happens in many places, on many nights — and until today, every ticketing platform made you pretend otherwise.

Series changes that. Build the run once, and Tixert carries it everywhere: one public page, one dashboard, one export, one story your audience can actually follow.

The run is the product

Ask a promoter what they're selling and they won't say "an event". They'll say the spring tour. The 2027 season. Three nights at the amphitheatre. The run is the thing people buy into — so the run is what Tixert now models.

Twelve separate events

Duplicate the listing twelve times. Fix the venue on each. Fix the timezone on the two that cross a border. Discover in March that one of them still says "Toronto". Export twelve CSVs and glue them together in a spreadsheet the night before you pay everyone.

One series, twelve dates

Build the run in a single pass, with a venue and a timezone per date. Publish once. Sell from one page that shows every night. Export the whole run — orders, attendees, refunds, settlement — with each row naming the night it came from.

Three shapes, one system

Tours

The same show, city after city. Every stop gets its own venue, its own local start time, and its own inventory — while the artwork, description, and identity stay in one place.

Seasons

A programme that runs for months. Subscribers can see the whole slate on one page, and you can add dates to a season that's already live and selling.

Festivals

Multiple days, one identity. Stack the lineup under a single banner and let attendees buy the day they want without ever leaving the page.

Build a whole run in one sitting

The series builder asks for what a run actually needs, in the order you actually know it — and nothing else.

1

Name the run

Pick the type — tour, season, or festival — give it a name and artwork, and set the primary date everything else anchors to.

2

Lay out the dates

Generate a date grid and shape it. Add a date, drop a date, hand-pick the ones that don't follow the pattern. No rule language to learn.

3

Give every night its own place and time

Type an address per date and Tixert turns it into a venue. Each date carries its own timezone, so a 9pm show in Vancouver stays 9pm in Vancouver — not 9pm somewhere else.

4

Publish, then keep going

A live series still takes new dates. Extend a tour mid-run without rebuilding anything, and every addition inherits the run's identity by default.

A page worth sending people to

Every series gets a public page built to sell, not just to list.

A hero for every date.

The page opens as a slider across the run — artwork, venue, and date for each night — so the whole story lands before anyone scrolls.

Buy without leaving.

Tickets are purchasable straight from the hero through a purchase modal. One page, one flow, no bouncing between listings.

Finished nights stay part of the run.

Past dates aren't hidden — they're proof the run is real, which is exactly what a first-time buyer is looking for.

Discoverable by design.

Each type gets its own public hub, every series is in the sitemap, and series now surface in Tixert's app-wide search — including by organizer name.

One page to sell it. One dashboard to run it. One export to settle it.

What a run has always needed, and never had

Reconcile the run, not the receipts

Every series has its own export page — the counterpart to an event's. Orders, attendees, donations, refunds, settlement, and flex pass redemptions across every date, each row naming the night it came from.

Settlement, one line per date

A run-level total isn't what a promoter reconciles against — the venue, the agent, and the artist all settle night by night. So settlement in a series export breaks out per date, while everything else rolls up across the run.

Who this unlocks

Touring promoters

Twenty cities, twenty venues, twenty local start times — one listing to build and one place to watch it sell.

Theatres & venues

Pair a season with showtimes and seat maps and the whole programme runs itself.

Festivals

Multi-day lineups under one identity, with day-by-day inventory and one place to reconcile the weekend.

Agencies & bookers

Archive a finished run instead of deleting it, and keep the history that proves the next one will sell.

Classes & programmes

A term of workshops is a season. Add dates as enrolment grows.

Anyone with a calendar

If your business is a schedule, Tixert now speaks your language natively.

Details that stop the 11pm panic

Preview before you publish.

Share a draft series through a token link. Your agent sees the run exactly as an attendee will, before a single ticket is live.

Venues that inherit, but never guess.

A tour date must have its own venue before it publishes. A date running at the parent's venue simply inherits it — no phantom "missing venue" warnings.

Archive, don't destroy.

Removing a series archives it. The history, the orders, and the reporting stay exactly where you left them.

Cross-linked everywhere.

Events point back at the runs they belong to, org pages filter by series, and attendees can walk from one night to the whole tour in a click.

Build your next run in one sitting

Series ships today for every organizer on Tixert — no upgrade, no add-on, no per-date surcharge. Flat, predictable pricing, whether you run one night or forty.
