Showtimes & recurring events: one event, every date

Some events don't happen once. They happen again, and again, and again.

A play runs for three weekends. A comedy club has a show every Friday. A museum sells timed-entry tickets every hour, all day. A festival has the same headliner playing two nights back to back. Until now, every one of those dates meant a brand-new event — duplicated by hand, managed separately, reported separately, and never quite in sync.

Not anymore. Today we're shipping the two biggest features in Tixert's history: Recurring Events and Showtimes. Together, they let you build a single event that spans every date you run it — and they open the door for an entire category of organizers we couldn't serve before.

Recurring events: set the rhythm, we'll handle the rest

Recurring events let you put an event on a schedule and let it repeat — daily, weekly, or monthly — without recreating it each time.

  • Real recurrence rules. Every Friday. The first Tuesday of the month. Every other weekend. If your calendar has a pattern, Tixert can follow it.
  • Edit one, or edit them all. Change the price for a single night, or apply a change to this and all future occurrences in one click. Past dates are never touched — what already happened, stays as it happened.
  • Each date stands on its own. Every occurrence has its own tickets, attendees, orders, holds, and revenue, while inheriting everything from the parent series by default. You only override what's actually different.
  • One series, one source of truth. Update the description, swap the banner, or change the venue once and watch it flow to every upcoming date.

The result: the work of running a hundred-date series feels like running one event.

Showtimes: multiple performances, one page

Showtimes let a single event carry multiple dates and times — perfect when the same production plays more than once.

  • Multiple times, one event page. Attendees pick the showtime they want, right on the event page. No hunting through duplicate listings.
  • Per-showtime everything. Tickets, sections, discounts, donations, and holds can all be managed per showtime — or shared across the whole event and overridden only where it matters.
  • Inheritance that makes sense. Set your pricing and seating once at the event level; a single showtime can break from the pack whenever you need it to. Sunday matinee priced differently than the Saturday night gala? Done.
  • Seat maps that travel. Pair showtimes with seat maps and each performance gets its own live inventory — the same hall, sold independently night after night.

This is what opens the doors

These two features aren't just convenient — they unlock organizers Tixert simply wasn't built for before.

  • Theatres & performing arts. A three-week run of a show is now one event with a showtime for every performance. Matinees, evening shows, opening night, closing night — all under one roof, with seat maps per show.
  • Comedy clubs & live music venues. A weekly night becomes a recurring event. Set it once in January and it sells itself every Friday through December.
  • Festivals & multi-day events. Same act, multiple nights? Multiple stages, multiple set times? Showtimes handle the schedule while attendees buy exactly the date they want.
  • Tours, classes & timed entry. Hourly museum admission, daily walking tours, weekly workshops — recurring events with showtimes turn a logistical nightmare into a single, self-maintaining listing.
  • Promoters running a calendar. If your business is a schedule, Tixert now speaks your language. Build the cadence once and spend your time promoting, not duplicating.

Built into the tools you already use

Showtimes and recurring events aren't bolted on — they run through everything:

  • Calendar view on your dashboard. See your whole schedule at a glance, recurring dates clearly marked, and click any day to create an event right there.
  • Filter by showtime everywhere. Orders, attendees, refunds, scan-in, and exports can all be narrowed to a single showtime, so reconciling one night out of a hundred takes seconds.
  • Reporting that respects every date. Revenue, holds, and settlements roll up across a series and break down per occurrence — no spreadsheets required.
  • Flexible ticket sale windows. Sale start and end times can be scheduled relative to each occurrence, so tickets for next month's date open on their own without you lifting a finger.

Run your whole season on Tixert

Showtimes and recurring events are live now on tixert.com. Whether you're staging a season of theatre, booking a weekly residency, or selling timed entry every hour of the day, you can finally build it the way it actually runs — once.

Head to your dashboard, create an event, and set it to repeat. We'll take it from there.
