Tickets & policies¶
Two small Settings-tab fields save you a hundred day-of questions: where fans buy tickets, and what happens if the weather turns.
Link your ticket platform¶
Most schools sell gate admission through a ticketing platform — GoFan, S2 Pass, and the like. MusterSheet doesn't sell tickets, but it will point your fans to the place that does:
- On the Settings tab, find the Ticket Link field and paste
your event's ticketing page address (for example,
https://gofan.co/app/school/...). - Fill in the Platform Label — the platform's name, like "GoFan".
- Save Changes.
A Get Tickets button (reading, say, Get Tickets on GoFan) now appears on your public competition page and on the fan-facing live schedule, opening your ticketing page in a new tab.
Display-only
This is a link, nothing more. Ticket sales, prices, and refunds all happen on the ticketing platform — MusterSheet doesn't connect to it or see any of its money.
Publish a weather / refund policy¶
Outdoor event, autumn weather — every director signing up wants to know: what happens to my fee if the day washes out? Write it down once instead of answering it forty times:
- On the Settings tab, find the Weather / Refund Policy box.
- Write your policy in plain sentences — for example: "In case of inclement weather, registration fees will be refunded or credited toward next year's event at the director's choice."
- Save Changes.
Your policy then appears, word for word:
- To directors — on the competition page, right above the registration form, so every band registers with eyes open.
- To fans — on the public schedule page.
The policy is a promise, not a mechanism
Publishing the policy doesn't automate anything — if the day does go sideways, you still issue any refunds yourself (see Getting paid online for card payments). The field's job is making sure nobody is surprised.
