Is registration important before booking a slot or enrolling for a fitness facility?
Yes, it’s mandatory to register before you book a slot. It makes your experience convenient and pleasant as it helps you keep track of payments and bookings.

Is it necessary to provide my mobile number on the page?
Yes, it is necessary for you to provide your mobile number as it is a part of the registration process. It helps us give you a better experience and enables the venue to get in touch with you if needed.

Do I have to pay extra to book a slot?
As of now, you don’t need to pay anything extra to book a slot. You will only be paying the venue’s booking
charges. So are you ready to kick off?

How many slots can I book in one transaction?
You can book multiple time slots in one transaction. However, you cannot book multiple turfs at a venue.

How early do I need to book before a game?
The slots can be booked 30 mins prior to the slot start time. So huddle up and head out.

How can I confirm my slot/activity bookings?
As soon as your booking is confirmed, you will get a confirmation email with your booking details. Additionally, after your booking process is complete, you will be redirected to a page which will show the confirmation of your booking under “Upcoming Bookings.

What should I do if I don’t get a confirmation email? 
In case you have not received your confirmation email from us, please visit the “Contact Us” section and get in touch with us.

What is a permanent booking?
This is a pre-paid booking option wherein you pay online to book your chosen venue. This allows you to freeze your slot which means no one else can book or access it therafter.

What is a tentative booking?
A tentative booking is one where you can pay at the venue. Do note however, there is a chance you may lose your slot in case somebody else makes a permanent booking for that same slot.

What is the difference between a permanent booking and tentative booking?
A permanent booking enables you to freeze your booking for a particular slot at a particular venue. On the other hand, a tentative booking allows you to temporarily book a certain slot. However, multiple people can action a tentative booking for one particular slot. So if you are certain about playing at a venue on a particular date, we recommend going with the permanent booking option.
