Ticketing for aquariums¶

On a Saturday afternoon, your aquarium welcomes families who came in with a simple day ticket, a group that booked its spot for the 3pm shark feeding session, and visitors signed up for the evening's guided tank tour.

Most of the visit runs on an unrestricted day ticket, but some high-demand activities must be booked in advance with a limited capacity. Two quite different logics must coexist in the same system, without either one complicating or weakening the other.

The Billetterie module for Odoo handles both logics within the same system : a classic day ticket, dedicated time slots for flagship activities, and simple management of event evenings, with no double entry between front desk and website.

The 4 key benefits¶

A seamless visitor experience

Day ticket or activity with a booked time slot — the same access control at the entrance, whatever type of ticket was purchased.
Controlled activities

Limit the number of spots for the shark feeding or guided tank tour, without complicating day-ticket sales.
Attendance tracked in real time

Monitor entries, activity fill rates, and event evening revenue, directly within your Odoo environment.
Native Odoo integration

No third-party tool to connect : ticketing relies directly on your existing Odoo CRM, accounting, and inventory.

What each module brings to your aquarium¶

The Billetterie module builds on Odoo's existing building blocks — each one covers a step of the visitor journey, from sale to entering the tank areas.

Point of sale : selling at the front desk¶

Immediate sale of the day ticket, rates already configured (full price, reduced, free)
Adding a time-slot activity (feeding, guided tour) to an already issued ticket
Ticket printed or emailed in one click

Sales : school and community groups¶

Quotes and group pricing terms from the back office
Deferred invoicing for schools and leisure centers
Same flow as a standard sales order, applied to your tickets and activities

Online sales : booking before visiting¶

Purchase the day ticket and book the activity time slot online
Online sales for one-off event evenings
Activity time-slot availability always synchronized with the front desk

Access control : validating entry to the tank areas¶

Validation via gate or mobile control app
A ticket that has already been scanned cannot be reused
Number of visitors present per activity visible in real time

Channels manager : expanding distribution (coming soon)¶

An aquarium rarely sells through a single channel : tourist offices, inbound agencies, and third-party booking platforms also relay your tickets. The Channels manager module, currently in development, will let you sync your availability with these external channels directly from Odoo, with no manual re-entry.
