Timed entry is a ticketing method where guests reserve admission for a specific date and time slot rather than general admission. Attractions and tour operators use timed entry to control capacity, reduce wait times, and improve the overall guest experience.

In an all-in-one booking system, timed entry integrates with:

• Booking engine & POS → ensuring online and on-site ticket sales update availability in real time.

• Resource scheduling → aligning staff, guides, and equipment with guest arrival times.

• Rental management → reserving add-ons (bikes, kayaks, ATVs) for the same time slot as admission.

• API connections to OTAs → distributing time-specific tickets through affiliates with accurate inventory.

• Analytics dashboards → tracking attendance patterns, no-shows, and peak demand times.

Timed entry helps operators maximize revenue while avoiding overcrowding, bottlenecks, and guest dissatisfaction.
