High-Capacity Session Ticketing & Skate Hire for UK Ice Rinks

Whether running a permanent year-round ice arena or an outdoor winter wonderland pop-up rink, managing maximum safe ice capacity, skate hire distribution, and Zamboni resurfacing buffers is essential for safety and customer satisfaction.

Purpose-Built Features for UK Ice Skating Rinks

  • Timed Skate Sessions & Safe Ice Capacity Limits: Enforce strict on-ice skater limits per session (e.g. 150 skaters per 60 or 90-minute slot) to comply with local authority health and safety requirements.
  • Skate Hire Sizing & Penguin Skate Aid Add-Ons: Allow visitors to pre-select adult and junior ice skate boot sizes during checkout, and upsell popular stabilizing penguin and seal skate aids for young children.
  • Ice Resurfacing & Zamboni Turnaround Windows: Automatically schedule 15 to 30-minute ice cleaning and resurfacing intervals between sessions, locking out public bookings during maintenance.
  • Learn-to-Skate Courses & Figure Skating Lessons: Sell multi-week beginner skating courses, patch ice access for competitive figure skaters, and private coaching sessions through one unified diary.
  • Fast Mobile Barcode Check-In: Accelerate rink-side entry with instant e-ticket scanning, allowing staff to quickly issue wristbands and hire skates without long queues out in the cold.
  • 0% Commission on Ice Admissions: Keep 100% of your ticket and skate hire sales. Connect your UK card processor with zero commission and transparent plans from £15/month.
0% Commission • Live in 24 Hours

UK Operator FAQs & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, factual answers to help you evaluate and scale with SmartBookings.

How does SmartBookings enforce capacity limits for timed sessions?

You can define maximum headcount limits per time slot. The system tracks real-time capacity and automatically marks time slots as sold-out once the threshold is reached, eliminating venue overcrowding.

Can parents book party rooms and add catering or extras in one transaction?

Yes. The system supports multi-item party packages. Customers can choose a base package, select room time slots, and add party food, party bags, or extra attendees with dynamic price calculations.

Can we offer tiered ticket pricing for adults, children, and toddlers?

Yes. You can configure multiple ticket categories (e.g., Under 1s, Toddlers, Juniors, Supervising Adults) within each session, with individual pricing and minimum/maximum guardian ratios.

Does the platform support digital safety waivers and customer declarations?

Yes. SmartBookings can prompt guests to sign digital liability waivers, health forms, or rules of play either during checkout or via an automated confirmation email link prior to arrival.

Can staff sell tickets at the front desk and scan online bookings?

Yes. The system includes reception check-in tools and ticket barcode scanning, allowing staff to rapidly admit online ticket holders and process walk-in admissions using integrated card terminals.
