Pillars

Everything a museum needs to run the front door.

From timed entry to annual passes, every visitor journey lives in one dashboard.

Timed entry

Timed entry, without the queue.

Publish exact entry slots per gallery or the whole museum. Cap capacity per session, warn visitors when a slot is nearly full, and cut off sales automatically when it's sold out.

  • Per-slot hard caps (goodbye 400-person rush on a Saturday)
  • "Limited / Sold out" badges on the public calendar
  • Buffer time between timed entries
  • QR ticket scanning from the operator mobile app at the door

Pricing rules

Pricing rules that fill every hour.

Stack Early Bird, Last Minute, Seasonal, and Group rules on any ticket. Zuru picks the right price on every channel (your site, the marketplace, school-group quotes), and the guest sees a clean discount line at checkout.

Early Bird

Reward guests who book ahead with automatic discounts and fill the quiet weekdays first.

Last Minute

Turn empty slots into revenue. Auto-drop prices close to the time and show a clean discount line at checkout.

Seasonal

Switch rates for school terms, exhibition runs, and holiday weeks, automatically on every channel.

Group Pricing

Tiered rates for families, tour operators, and school bookings. Set it once and apply it everywhere.

Members & annual passes

Members get the velvet rope.

Sell, renew, and scan annual memberships. Unlock member-only preview slots, free guest passes, and a dedicated flow that skips the queue at checkout and at the door.

  • Annual, monthly, and family membership tiers
  • Auto-renewal with reminder emails
  • Member-only preview slots and free tickets
  • Scan-at-the-door from the operator app

FAQs

Museum ticketing questions.

How museums run timed entry, memberships, and school groups on Zuru.

Still have questions? Talk to sales.

Can I cap how many visitors enter in each time slot?
Yes. Set a hard cap per timed entry slot and Zuru enforces it across every channel. The public calendar shows Limited when a session is nearly full and cuts off sales automatically once it is sold out.
Can I sell annual memberships alongside single tickets?
Yes. Sell annual, monthly, and family tiers with auto-renewal and reminder emails. Members can be given their own preview slots and free guest tickets, and their cards scan at the door from the operator mobile app.
How do school bookings work?
Give schools their own discounted rate, including teacher-free-of-charge rules, and check the whole party in with a single QR code. Tour operators and corporate groups can have their own tiered or net rates on the same ticket.
Can I charge less on quiet weekdays without discounting weekends?
Yes. Stack Early Bird, Last Minute, Seasonal, and Group rules on any ticket. Zuru applies the right price per slot on every channel, so midweek fills at a lower rate while peak days hold their price.
Do visitors need to print their tickets?
No. Every booking comes with a QR code on the visitor's phone. Scan it at the entrance from the Zuru operator mobile app to admit them against the day's list.
Can I run separate ticketing for a temporary exhibition?
Yes. Publish entry slots per gallery or for the whole museum, each with its own capacity, price, and season. A temporary exhibition can open and close on a schedule without touching general admission.
