How long does switching ticketing platforms take?
About ten minutes of work across a four-week timeline: export, import, rehearse, put the next event on sale.
About ten minutes of actual work across four weeks: export, import, and connect in week 1, rehearse with the door team in week 2, and put the next event on sale in week 3.
The work is small because the importer reads the old platform's export. Events, ticket types, and buyer lists from Weeztix, Eventbrite, Tickable, WeTicket, or a spreadsheet. The weeks are calendar time, not labour. The rehearsal event proves the door, the payout line, and the refund before any buyer meets the new seller.
Switch on the renewal date of the old contract so nothing overlaps. Switch event by event rather than all at once: the next event sells in NightHall while the current one finishes where it started. Past orders stay readable in the old export; NightHall does not rewrite another platform's history.
A design partner gets the switch done by hand with the founder: export together, rehearse together, first on-sale together.
