Bookings > Today's Bookings > Create ADVANCED Booking

  1. 1

    Open the advanced form

    Create ADVANCED Booking gives you the complete staff booking form with no customer-facing restrictions.

  2. 2

    Set date and time

    Choose the date and pick an exact time from the 15-minute list — you are not limited to published slots.

  3. 3

    Group booking

    Set Group Booking to Yes and choose the type: Party, Staff, Corporate or Other. This is what makes group reports and pricing behave correctly.

  4. 4

    Tickets and pricing

    Choose Peak, Off Peak or Fixed pricing, then the quantity of each ticket type — Adult, Student, Child, Bluelight NHS/Military, Holiday Club, School Booking Price, Group Booking prices, VIP Experience, Room Hire and so on.

  5. 5

    Offers and add-ons

    Apply a family ticket or other Offer if it fits, and tick any Addon such as Vertical Drop Slide, Leap of Faith, keyrings or bundles.

  6. 6

    Customer details

    Enter first name, last name, email, phone and post code. Auto Generate next to email and phone creates placeholder details for a walk-in who won't give theirs. Set the Marketing list answer honestly — it feeds the marketing export.

  7. 7

    Notes, discount and payment

    Add special instructions if needed, enter a Discount Code if one applies, then check Total Price, Deposit and Balance before pressing Save Booking.

Watch out for

  • Because this form ignores published capacity, it is possible to overbook a slot. Check the calendar first for busy periods.
  • Auto-generated emails cannot receive a confirmation — write the reference down for the customer.
