Everything circus performers ask about Event Schedule.
Is Event Schedule free for circus performers?
Yes, for most of it. Sharing your performance schedule, sub-schedules, two-way calendar sync, an embeddable calendar, free registration with a capacity, a calendar feed fans subscribe to, the booking request form and one bookable appointment type are all free forever, with no ceiling on how many people register. Putting a price on a ticket is the part that needs Pro. Newsletters are free up to 10 emails a month, counted per recipient rather than per send, with 100 on Pro and 1,000 on Enterprise.
Can I manage tour dates and local shows in one schedule?
Yes. List all your performances in one place - touring shows, local gigs, festival appearances, and private events. Use sub-schedules to sort and colour-code by show type or tour leg, each with its own link. Your schedule link still shows everything in one calendar.
How do audiences discover my performances?
Share your schedule link on social media, on your booking page, or embed the calendar on your website. Fans who leave an email address get a digest automatically when you add dates, at most one every few days. Beyond that you write the newsletter and choose when it goes out, and somebody who followed you from their own account only ever hears from you that way. Fans who would rather not give an email can subscribe to your calendar from your page instead. And on a single show, once you switch on the "Notify me" card, anyone can leave just an email address to hear when its tickets go on sale, if it is cancelled, and shortly before it starts, plus any change notice you send.
Can I sell tickets to my shows?
Yes, on Pro, which is what opens paid checkout. Take payment through Stripe or PayPal straight to your own account, or through Payfast (rand only), Razorpay (Indian rupees only), Invoice Ninja, a payment link or cash, with as many ticket types as the night needs, each at its own fixed price and its own inventory per date. Zero platform fees on every plan, so the only deduction is your payment provider's own. If a show is rained off, a Stripe, PayPal or Razorpay sale can be refunded in full or in part from the Sales page, and the money goes back through the provider. A tier like Ringside is a ticket type sold by the number; a seat map the audience picks from is drawn on a venue schedule on Enterprise, so a troupe with its own big top would set that up as a venue.
Can I sell class passes for my aerial or acro classes?
Yes. On the Pro plan you can sell multi-use passes alongside regular tickets - a 10-visit pass, an unlimited membership, a festival pass or a season pass on a recurring class. Passes are redeemable across the events you scope them to, usage is counted for you, and you can set a cancellation deadline for late drops. Zero platform fees apply to passes too.
Can my whole troupe manage one schedule?
On Enterprise, yes. A free schedule is a single account. Enterprise adds team members, up to five on the hosted plans, so your rigger, stage manager, and performers can all update the calendar. Enterprise also turns on availability for talent schedules, where each member marks the days they cannot work and you see it against the calendar.
A festival listed my act before I joined. Is there already a page for me?
There may be. When a festival or venue names an act that is not on Event Schedule, its event page still shows that act in the lineup by name, and the app creates a page for the act. That page says which schedule created it and that you have not claimed it, credits each date to the schedule that added it, and stays out of search engines until it is claimed. If it carries your email address, create an account or sign in with that address and press Claim this page: it becomes your schedule, and the festivals that already listed you keep listing you without asking again, while anyone new sends a request you accept. If it is not you, This is not me takes it down.
