School Event Ticketing That Saves Parents Money
Plays, concerts, dances, games and fundraisers — sell tickets online with the lowest fees, so families pay for the event, not the ticket company.
No monthly fee · No setup fee · Free events are always free
Short answer: TixSimple lets schools sell tickets with no monthly fee and only 1.3% + 33¢ per paid ticket. On a $10 school play ticket that is about 46¢ — versus about $2.16 on Eventbrite. Free events (open houses, back-to-school nights) cost nothing, and money goes straight to the school's own account.
