AI-guided sign-up

Getting started is genuinely easy. Tell it whether you sell tickets, tables, rooms or rentals, in plain language, and it creates your services, categories and capacity without you touching a single manual. Meet Ask Simply, so you can take bookings the same day.

Full control in one place

Your tickets, tables, rooms and rental gear, whether you run a single venue or a whole venue group. No phone tag, no spreadsheets, and no double bookings.

Why SimplyBook.me

This events and entertainment booking system lets one guest book several different things in a single order, caps every session at the capacity you actually have, and runs one venue or a whole venue group from the same account.

Sell a whole night out in one checkout

A guest planning an evening can pick the show, a table for afterwards and any gear they want to hire, then pay once, so you make one sale instead of three.

Grow from one venue to many

Add a second hall, bar or outdoor stage without a second login or calendar, and see bookings across every site in one place as your venue group grows.

Never sell more places than you have

Every seat, table, room and piece of kit carries its real limit, and each guest arrives with a code you scan at the door, so a sold-out night stays sold out.

Everything you need to sell tickets, tables, rooms and rentals from one system

Everything an events and entertainment business needs to sell tickets, tables, rooms and rentals from one system, and get paid without chasing guests by phone. See the full feature list.

Sell one thing or several at once

Multiple Bookings

Lets one guest add a ticket, a table reservation and a rented item to the same order, so a whole visit is booked and paid for in one go instead of three separate bookings.

Event Tickets

Issues a QR-coded digital ticket for every seat sold, so entry is scanned and validated at the door instead of checked against a paper guest list.

Group Bookings

Lets one guest reserve and pay for their whole party or team in a single booking, instead of every member booking separately.

Cap capacity & organize your catalog

Limit Bookings

Caps how many guests can book the same date, table, room or rental item, so you never sell more capacity than you actually have.

Multiple Locations & Service categories

Sorts what you sell into sections and runs every venue from one account, with Enterprise solution for groups running many sites.

Service Add-ons & Products for Sale

Increase revenue per booking by selling optional extras and physical products at checkout, so the same guest spends more than the ticket price.

Reach guests & get paid

Client Mobile App

Lets guests browse, book and manage their reservations from a branded app on their own phone, not just a browser tab.

Accept Payments & Deposits

Takes full payment or a deposit the moment a guest books, through 30+ payment processors.

Automated Reminders

Sends confirmations and reminders by email, with optional SMS and WhatsApp credits, before every booking so fewer guests no-show.

Years ahead of it's time thanks to an ingenious underlying database design.

Without SimplyBook.me, we wouldn't be able to offer 'same day book & play' along side our counter 'walk-in' ticketing system.

Very helpful. Has helped increase our conference room sales. User Interface could be easier.

Allows our customers to book our conference rooms online w/ no labor from our staff. They can see our booking availability, pay, agree to our terms of use & cancellation policy, all online without taking our staff's time. Super helpful!

Focused on the essentials and without unnecessary notifications!

The biggest advantage is the cloud based nature. This means I always have all my data with me, whether in the office, onsite with a client or on vacation. This has become indispensable for me. The best feature is definitely the documentation function, which allows you to save emails, photos and documents related to individuals and institutions in the history and link these to others. This way, all employees can see what has happened and what still needs to be done.
