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.

How Comus Solves Ticketing for the Education Sector
Comus offers the dedicated simplicity, cost control, and security features that UK schools, colleges, and parent associations rely on:
Zero Cost for Free Events
Track capacity and collect essential parent/guardian information for free events (like Open Days, Parent Consultations, or Club sign-ups) without paying any fees whatsoever.
Maximum Budget Retention with Low Fees
For paid events like school productions or fundraising dinners, our 3% transparent fee is significantly lower than major providers. You can also easily pass this fee onto the ticket buyer, allowing the school to keep 100% of the ticket price.
Full Data Ownership and GDPR Compliance
All parent and attendee data belongs securely to the school. This ensures compliance and allows you to communicate directly about event changes, reminders, and future school news.
