Part 1: Your identity, not a platform's
Logo, colours and type set once. For an institution whose brand is the point, the ticket page should not be the one page that looks like somebody else.
For museums and attractions
Timed-entry ticketing for museums and attractions
A capacity per hour, an exhibition with its own price, and an entrance that should not need a printer.
Model each admission slot as an event with its own capacity and start time, sell it on your own domain with the museum's branding, and admit visitors by scanning the QR on their phone at the entrance. Concession types — child, student, member — are ticket types with their own prices, and the shop rides along in the same order.
What you are looking at
The numbers on the screen above mark the parts that do the work. Here is what each one is.
Part 2: Slots, listed as times
Each admission slot is an event with a start time and a capacity. Visitors see which hours are still open rather than discovering it at the door.
Part 3: Sections beyond the ticket list
An about section, a gallery, an FAQ and opening hours. A museum storefront is a page about the museum, not a calendar with a logo on it.
Part 4: The exhibition priced on its own
A special exhibition can be its own event, or an add-on to admission. Both are a few minutes of setup rather than a separate system.
Part 5: Nothing live until you publish
Build next season quietly, preview it as it will really look, and publish when the marketing is ready rather than when the build is.
In practice
Capacity you can actually hold to
Each slot has a quantity, and when it is gone the slot closes. Visitors see which times are still available rather than arriving to find the hour is full, and your front of house is not the place where capacity gets enforced by argument.
Concessions priced properly
Adult, child, student and member are ticket types, each with its own price and its own maximum per order. A family buys the mix it needs in one order, and the numbers at the end of the month separate cleanly by type.
Admission without a printer
The e-ticket lives on the visitor's phone. Scan it at the entrance, and a code that has already been used is rejected immediately. Manual entry covers a visitor whose battery has died on the way in.
The shop, in the same order
Sell the exhibition catalogue or an audio guide as an add-on alongside admission, so it arrives in the same confirmation and the same payout, and the reporting shows what really happened at the desk.
A storefront that reads like an institution
Beyond the ticket list, the storefront carries an about section, a gallery, an FAQ, opening hours and a newsletter sign-up. The page can look and read like the museum, because a visit is a decision people make about a place rather than a transaction they make about a date.

Questions, answered
How do I model timed entry?
Create an event per slot with its own start time and capacity. Visitors choose the time they want, and the slot closes when it fills.
Can members get a different price?
Yes. Member is a ticket type with its own price. To keep it private, put it on an unlisted event and share the link with members only.
Do visitors need to print anything?
No. The QR ticket on a phone is enough, and a printout works equally well for anyone who prefers one.
Can I sell a special exhibition separately?
Yes. Run it as its own event with its own price, or attach it to general admission as an add-on.
Can I sell the catalogue at the same time?
Yes. Add-ons are bought in the same order as the ticket, so there is one confirmation and one payout.
Can the storefront say more than the opening times?
Yes. Thirteen section types cover an about section, a gallery, an FAQ, contact details and a newsletter sign-up alongside the ticket list.
