This comes in especially handy when:

A guest booked in person, but it wasn’t recorded

A teammate handled a manual booking

You’re tidying up reports or fixing data gaps

A booking simply slipped through the cracks

Let’s get that booking back where it belongs—with you in control.

How to Add a Booking After It Happened

Steps to Add a Booking After It Happened



1. Add an Order



Log in to the TicketingHub dashboard.

Click the +Add button and select Order to start a new manual booking.




2. Create the Order





On the Bookings section, click Add Order.

Choose the product or tour the booking is for.

If there’s a discount or special rate, select it under Booking Options.

Enter the number of guests and their ticket types.

Enter the all the necessary details.


3. Set a Past Date Using the Custom Tour



Under the Check Availability section, you won’t be able to choose a past date by default.

To work around this, click on Custom Tour.

You can now manually set a past date and time.




4. Add Payment Details



Go to the Payments section and click Add Payment.

Select from the dropdown how the payment was made (card, cash, gift card, etc.).

Follow the prompt to log the payment correctly.





Read our guide on Different Payment Types to know more.



5. Confirm the Booking



Once all the details are in place, click Confirm Order in the top-right corner.

The booking will now be saved and reflected in your reports.




Fixed It Like It Never Slipped Through



And just like that—you’ve added a booking after it happened. No awkward spreadsheets, no lost data, and definitely no stress. This little workaround is a lifesaver for when things fall through the cracks (because, let’s face it, they do).

Next time it happens, you’ll know exactly what to do. Here’s to clean reports and no booking left behind.
