School & youth sports ticketing
School and youth sports event ticketing for games, plays and fundraisers
Schools, PTAs, and youth leagues need simple, low-cost ticketing for sports games, plays, dances, and fundraisers. TixSimple has no monthly fee, so it fits any school budget.
How this type of ticketing works
School events often sell tickets at the door, which creates cash-handling headaches and long lines. TixSimple lets families buy tickets online in advance, receive QR codes by email, and show them at the gate. The school gets a real-time count of attendance and revenue.
You can create separate events for each game, play, or dance, or a season pass for all home games. Custom attendee fields can collect student names, grade levels, or parent contact info.
