Practical guides
Dates, sessions and time zones: avoid booking mistakes
A published period identifies when the event takes place; it does not necessarily specify admission hours or sessions included in a ticket.
Identify the date’s scope
Distinguish qualifying, main draw, a full day and an evening session. ATP calendars may give main-draw dates while the venue offers earlier qualifying days. Book the session actually sold, not simply the first day of a listing.
Check the time display mode
Formula 1 schedules allow “My time” or “Track time”. Check the mode before recording a start. For travel, use the venue’s local time and each transport’s local date. UTC offsets can change seasonally; do not copy one from another edition.
Account for gaps
A two-weekend festival is not open on every day between its first and last dates. Site date filters use separate periods when documented. Also check exhibition closing days: calendar duration is not a set of opening hours.
Import a reminder and keep the source
The site’s ICS file is an all-day reminder without concert or match times. It is not a subscription: later site edits do not update your copy. Reopen the official source before departure and amend or replace the reminder if needed.
Questions before booking
Does the ICS file include admission time?
No. Check admission and session times on the ticket and official schedule.
