Venue Admin

Go to AdminVenues[venue]Edit to update your venue's profile and operational settings. You need the canEditSettings capability.

Basic information

| Field | Notes | |---|---| | Name | Shown on the public venue page and all tickets | | Address / City / State / ZIP | Used for geo-search and map display | | Phone | Shown on the venue page | | Website | Linked from the venue page | | Event email | Reply-to address on confirmation emails | | Description | Short bio shown on the venue page |

Public link

Every venue is reachable at noctern.com/venues/<id> automatically. Open the Public link card to set your own custom URL instead (noctern.com/venues/<slug>), and optionally a short link (noctern.com/v/<code>) for print or verbal use. Unlike a show's link, both are optional — leave them blank and the id-based link keeps working.

  • Both names are first-come, first-served across all of Noctern — shows included, not just other venues — a name already in use will be rejected.
  • Changing or clearing either link never breaks the old one: it keeps redirecting to your venue page automatically.

Hero images

Upload one or more hero images for the public venue page. Images are cropped to 4:3 and compressed automatically. The first image in the list is used as the primary image on the venue listing card.

Custom content

The Custom content section opens a rich-text editor (Tiptap). Use it to add venue-level notes — FAQs, parking information, accessibility details — that appear on the public venue page below the event list. Toggle Show custom content to control visibility.

Ticketing policies

The Ticketing policies card configures the exchange fee charged when a staff member exchanges a ticket:

  • Exchange fee type — Flat dollar amount or percentage of the new ticket price
  • Exchange fee value — The dollar amount or percentage

Set both to zero for free exchanges.

Seasons

Seasons are date ranges you define to group performances for reporting. For example, "2025–26 Season: Aug 25, 2025 – Aug 31, 2026." A performance's season is determined by its event date.

Seasons do not gate ticket sales — they are reporting labels only.

To add a season:

  1. Scroll to the Seasons card on the edit page.
  2. Click Add season.
  3. Enter a name, start date, and end date.
  4. Click Save.

Patron lifecycle thresholds

The Lifecycle section lets you customize the thresholds used in the Patron Lifecycle report:

  • Frequent buyer — minimum number of orders in the report window to count as "Frequent" (default: 3)
  • Lapsed — months since last order to count as "Lapsed" (default: 18)

Adjust these to match your venue's attendance patterns.

Try it yourself

Update your venue's event email address, upload a new hero image, and add the current season. Save and open the public venue page to confirm the changes appear.
