Ticket timing, what to book before you go

A booking agenda for your trip: which sights need advance tickets, when to book each one, and a place to tick them off.

What it shows

Ticket timing merges two sources into one agenda: our editorial ticket rules for the cities on your trip (the sights that genuinely sell out, with book-ahead guidance) and every stop your generated itinerary has flagged as needing a booking. Each row says whether it's book-in-advance, buy-on-the-day, or optional.

Deadlines

Once your dates are locked, rows carry concrete book-by dates worked back from the day you'll actually be there. The same data drives the 'Book by' and 'Book ASAP' flags on your itinerary's day cards, so the two surfaces can't disagree.

Ticking things off

Mark a row as booked when you've bought the ticket. Booked items show a 'Booked' tick here and on the matching itinerary day card, so on the ground you can see at a glance what's already sorted.
