Why School Event Ticketing Requires Security and Simplicity
School staff and PTA volunteers are always juggling limited time and nonexistent budgets. You need a platform that handles everything from free registration for parent-teacher evenings to ticket sales for the school play, all while prioritizing the safety of student data and minimising administrative burden. High fees and complex systems are simply not viable when every penny counts towards enriching student life.
Simple, honest pricing
Organisers pay 3% on paid tickets. Buyers pay a 60p booking fee plus card processing.
Registered charities pay no platform fee. Free events are free.
Buyer price includes the 60p booking fee and card processing (2.9% + 20p per order), assuming one ticket per order. Orders with several tickets cost buyers less.
Eventbrite comparison uses its UK fee of 6.95% + 59p per paid ticket, added at checkout by default. Prices correct as of October 2026.
