The Ultimate Guide to Block Bookings for Sports Facilities
Unlike one-off or casual reservations, block bookings provide guaranteed, repeatable, forecastable income and help establish a predictable and efficient facility schedule. At Pitchbooking's top performing partner facilities, block bookings can account for as much as 85% of total usage during peak times.
Understanding Booking Lead Times: The Key to Optimising Sports Facility Management
Every Sports Facility Management Team we speak to are fully aware of what booking slots are the most popular, across all their facilities. Typically, in the UK, for most sports, 7pm - 10pm, Monday to Thursday sees the highest utilisation rates, with a special mention to 10am - 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays for formal grassroots sports focused facilities. However, this is only half the picture when it comes to a true understanding of what drives utilisation. An aspect that fewer Sports Facility Management Teams can elaborate on is *when* bookings for these facilities are made. **To understand bookings across your facilities, you should understand the lead time between when bookings are made, and when the bookings actually take place.**
The Overlooked Metric to Maximise Revenue at your Sports Facility - How to Calculate your Late Cancellation Rate (LCR)
For commercially minded Sports Facilities, success isn’t just about a blocked out calendar — it’s about ensuring those bookings actually happen. One key metric that often gets overlooked? Your Late Cancellation Rate (LCR). N.B. This article is an expansion on a previous topic we have covered before, [“The Pitchbooking Guide to Reducing Late Cancellations and No-Shows”](https://pitchbooking.com/blog/reducing-cancellations-no-shows-lost-payment-sports-facilities).
