Troubleshooting

One show is behaving like two separate events

Why a multi-day run can come apart — and what it breaks when it does.

1. 1FairKeep decides which days belong to the same show by matching the TITLE and the YEAR. Every day of one run has to be spelled identically.
2. 2So a typo, a stray space, or editing one day to "Big E - Sunday" quietly splits that day off into a show of its own. Nothing warns you, because a differently-named event is a perfectly ordinary thing to have.
3. 3The damage is not cosmetic. A split day gets its own copy of the booth fee instead of its share of the run’s, so your costs go up and your profit goes down. The whole-event sales report stops covering it. Your show note stops appearing on it.
4. 4The fix is to make the titles match exactly again. Capitalisation and spacing count.
5. 5A show that crosses New Year is split the same way, by year, and that one cannot be fixed by renaming — the last days of December and the first of January are two runs. Read them as two.
6. 6A cancelled day is left out of the run on purpose. A day that did not happen cannot have taken money, and counting it would stretch the date range across whatever else was on that weekend.
