Maritime event ticketing
Boating and marina event ticketing with slip and mooring reservations
Regattas, boat shows, and marina events need to sell entry tickets and reserve exact slips or moorings. TixSimple's interactive maps make both easy.
How this type of ticketing works
Marina events combine general attendance with reserved spaces. TixSimple lets you sell spectator or participant tickets on one page, and reserve exact boat slips or moorings on an interactive map. Each slip is a ticket type or add-on that disappears once sold.
Participants and spectators receive QR codes by email. Dock staff can scan at the marina gate or at the slip assignment table. The map shows which slips are taken and which are still available, reducing double-booking and confusion.
