Passes

A season ticket for your room

Ten shows on a pool of credits, or two seats at every Thursday until Christmas. You set what it covers, how long it lasts, and how much of it can go at once.

The Regulars

The same forty people, buying one ticket at a time.

Every room has them. They come most weeks, they've never missed a Thursday, and they buy exactly the same way a stranger does — one seat, one night, at the last minute. There's no version of your ticket page that says “I'm in for the whole run.”

Two Shapes

Because “ten shows” and “every Thursday” aren't the same product.

Most platforms would make you fake both with a discount code. These are different things and they behave differently.

Credit-based

A pool they spend down

“Ten shows, use them whenever.”

Credits come off as they're used, across any show the pass covers. When they're gone, they're gone — and if you refund one, it goes back on.

Fits a varied programme where the customer picks their nights.

Per showtime

A standing allocation

“Two seats at every Thursday show.”

There's no shared pool. The allocation applies to each showtime separately, so a two-night run gives them two on Friday and two on Saturday.

Fits a residency or a weekly night with the same crowd.

What It Covers

Set it once, and next season's shows are already in it.

A pass can cover everything you put on, or a named list of shows, or a venue, or a single ticket tier. The tier part is the one worth understanding.

  • Pick “General Admission” onceNot GA on this show, then GA on the next one. One choice covers every GA tier you've got and every one you make later.
  • Or scope it to a roomEverything you programme at one venue, which is usually how a season actually works.
  • Expiry that suits the saleA fixed window — September to December — or a run of days counted from whenever they bought it.
  • Caps, so one pass can't take the roomLimit how many seats go in a single booking, and how many at any one showtime.

The Money

September's takings, banked in June.

The pass is paid for once, up front, and the face value goes to your own Stripe account the same way a ticket does. Nothing further is charged when a seat is claimed against it — no service fee and no tax on the covered portion, because both were settled at the sale.

Cash before the season

Forty passes in June is your autumn committed and paid for, against a programme you haven't finished booking.

Charged once, never twice

The buyer pays the service fee and HST when they buy the pass. Redeeming a seat against it costs them nothing further.

Kept out of your show numbers

Ticket value absorbed by a pass is reported as exactly that — cover, not revenue. Your per-show figures don't get inflated by money you already banked. More on show economics.

Who Holds What

Every pass, and everything that's come off it.

You can see who's holding a pass, how much of it is left, and every seat that's ever been taken against it — including anything that was later reversed.

  • Extend someone's expiryThe one you'll need by week three, when a regular has three shows left and gets ill.
  • Cancel a passWith a reason recorded against it, so the decision is still legible in six months.
  • A half-used refund stops and asks youFour of ten shows isn't 40% of the value if those four sold out. There's no automatic split — you decide the number.

A pass works like a paper season ticket — whoever has the code can use it, with no account needed. If that matters for your room, cap the seats per booking and per showtime. Passes are set up on the web, not in ComedyPass Studio.

Give the regulars something to buy.

It's included — no setup, no subscription, and the same buyer-paid fee as a ticket.
