Discover how to maximize revenue from your 2025 Autumn events. With Halloween on a Friday, now’s the time to plan ahead. Tips for ticketing, flexibility, add-ons, and more!

🇺🇸 US Edition

Fall 2025 is shaping up to be a huge opportunity for experience providers across the U.S. With Halloween falling on a Friday, school breaks aligning perfectly, and early forecasts pointing to a milder October, the season is packed with potential — if you’re ready in time! 👀

Here’s how to make the most of the season, capture early demand, and optimize your events for success 👇

🎃 Halloween on a Friday = A Monster Opportunity

Mark these dates on your calendar:

Halloween kicks off a full weekend of pumpkin and spooky fun (Oct 31–Nov 2)

Many school districts will be on fall break in the days leading up

Plus, Daylight Saving Time ends Nov 2 — more reason for families to make the most of those lighter evenings!

This gives you a prime 10-day window to run back-to-back fall events. Even better, early forecasts suggest a warmer, drier October than last year 🌤️

⏰ Why You Need to Launch by August

Looking at 2024’s Halloween booking data, one thing is clear:

40% of bookings happened more than 4 weeks in advance

Some families planned 12+ weeks out

Many events SOLD OUT up to 2 weeks ahead!

If your tickets aren’t live by August, you risk missing the highly profitable early-booker crowd.

💡 Tip: Want a smarter approach? Start with limited “early bird” dates for the sessions you’re confident in. Messaging like “early bookings help us prep the patch” works great, especially alongside behind-the-scenes posts on social media.

🌽 Crop-Dependent? Plan Smarter, Stress Less

Pumpkin patches and corn mazes — we know your season depends on nature. Here’s what’s working for others:

🎫 Open-Date Tickets

Sell tickets valid for any day within a window (e.g., Oct 15–31).

✅ Gives you flexibility

✅ Gives guests confidence

Some organizers break this into smaller blocks to help manage crowds — think Oct 15–22 or Oct 23–31.

☀️ Plan for the Weather (because we all know it’s unpredictable)

Flexible booking policies are a must. Letting customers easily reschedule builds trust and boosts initial conversions.

⚡️ Quick Wins to Boost Revenue (Without More Admin)

We dug into what worked best last year to bring you the top ways to make the most of your spooky season:

1. ✨ Simplify the Booking Journey

Long checkouts lose customers. Think Amazon-style ease:

✅ Fewer than 5 checkout questions

✅ Apple & Google Pay enabled

✅ Bundle experiences for easy selection

2. 💬 Let Guests Self-Serve

Offering self-rescheduling can reduce your admin by up to 60%.

Our top providers saw a 75% drop in support requests last October.

✅ Enable self-serve tools

3. 💸 Increase Revenue with Smart Add-Ons

Think: cider, fall photo ops, s’mores kits.

In 2024, some providers saw a 44% increase in add-on sales year over year.

✅ Offer 2+ seasonal extras

✅ Include at least one rainy-day-friendly option

And be sure they’re easy to add during checkout.

4. 🆕 Leverage New Features to Stand Out

✅ 🎨 Dark Mode Themes – Perfect for haunted attractions or nighttime events

✅ 🎥 Video in Checkout – Show off your trail, maze, or haunt directly in the booking flow to boost conversions

📈 Real Results from 2024
