What it looks like in practice

  1. Four months out: the sponsors want their tables

    Your three main sponsors get the tables closest to the stage. You give them a ticket that never shows in the public shop, and a code that opens it for them alone.

  2. Ten weeks out: a firm buys two tables

    A law firm wants sixteen places and an invoice with its VAT number for the accounts department. You book the seats for them, leave the payment open and send the tickets at once.

  3. Two weeks out: the seating committee meets

    Who sits next to whom, and what goes on each place card? You print the attendee list with seat, table and the name each guest entered, and the committee works from that.

  4. Gala night: volunteers and honourees

    Your volunteers and award winners hold free tickets they unlocked with a code. At the door, volunteers check in a whole table with one scan of the order, and the live count tells you when to start dinner.

A nonprofit ticketing platform has to handle more than a ticket: a charity gala is a seating plan, a guest list, a sponsor programme and a set of invoices that all need to agree. Event Ticket Hub keeps them in one place. You draw the hall with tables of eight or ten and colour the tables near the stage as their own price category, so a premium table and a standard seat sell from the same plan. Guests enter the name for every ticket, and your attendee list becomes the place-card list.

For charities and associations, every percentage point of a ticket fee is money that never reaches the cause. KIMISUITE adds 0 % per ticket, and payments go to your organisation's own Stripe, PayPal or Bankart account or arrive by bank transfer; see how ticket payments work. Corporate guests give their company name and VAT number at checkout, and the invoice comes out of CRM Business Hub in the same workspace. After the night, the settlement and sales reports show online and door income, fees and VAT per rate, ready for your treasurer.

What you get

  • An early price for loyal supporters

    Open the sale with an early-bird ticket that has its own sales window, or switch price after a number of seats sold. Your regular supporters book first and fill the room early.

  • Sponsor seats behind a code

    Create a sponsor ticket that stays out of the public shop. Each sponsor gets a code that opens exactly that ticket, single-use if you like.

  • Names for every place card

    Personalised tickets ask for a name per seat, and guests can correct it until your deadline. The attendee list shows table, seat and name in one row.

  • Invoices for corporate tables

    Companies enter their details at checkout, or you book their table by hand with payment open. CRM Business Hub turns the paid order into an invoice.

  • Free tickets for volunteers and honourees

    Create a hidden ticket at a price of zero and open it with a code for your volunteers and guests of honour. They book their own seat like everyone else.

  • Menu choices and extras

    Add a wine package, a reception before dinner or a parking space as extras, and ask every guest about diets and allergies. Kitchen and bar know the numbers in advance.

Set up your gala before the committee meets again

Premium tables, sponsor codes, honourees' tickets and company invoices: open Event Ticket Hub and walk through a gala set-up from the empty hall to the published ticket page.

How to get started

  1. Start your workspace

    Create a KIMISUITE workspace for your organisation and add Event Ticket Hub. The fourteen-day trial gives your committee time to agree the plan.

  2. Draw the hall and the stage

    Use the restaurant template, set tables to eight or ten seats, add the stage and mark the front tables as a premium category.

  3. Create your tickets

    Add a standard and a premium table ticket, a hidden sponsor ticket and a hidden free ticket for volunteers and honourees. Make them personalised and add a question for dietary needs.

  4. Send codes, then open the sale

    Create the sponsor, volunteer and honouree codes and send them first. Connect your payment account, publish, and share the ticket page with members and supporters.

Pricing

Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for the whole workspace. Your organisation pays one monthly price, not per committee member and not per ticket, and KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee. Your payment provider charges its usual fee per payment.

Volunteers on the door scan with their own phones, as many as you need.

Is it the right fit?

A good fit if

  • Nonprofits, charities and foundations that hold an annual gala dinner, ball or fundraising evening
  • Award nights with sponsor tables, honourees and a fixed seating plan
  • Corporate galas where companies book tables and need invoices
  • Organisers who want ticket money on their own account rather than collected by a platform

Not the right fit if

  • Fundraisers that need online donations, pledges or tax receipts as part of the booking
  • Galas that must force guests to buy whole tables online only
  • Organisations that need auctions or bidding during the evening
  • Events that must take payments in several currencies

Frequently asked questions

What should a nonprofit ticketing platform do for a charity gala?

It should sell seats at tables, collect guest names and dietary needs, give sponsors their own access and send invoices to companies. Event Ticket Hub does all of that, and the money goes to your organisation's own payment account.

How do I sell tickets for a fundraiser online?

Create the event, draw the hall with tables of eight or ten, add a table ticket for each price area, connect your organisation's payment account and publish. Guests choose their seats on the plan; whole tables for companies you book yourself as one order.

Can sponsors book seats that the public cannot see?

Yes. Hide the sponsor ticket from the shop and create a code that opens only that ticket. You can make each code single-use and set the dates it works.

Our guests come from several countries. Can they book in their language?

Yes. Your ticket page, the checkout, the emails and the tickets come in 16 languages, and guests switch with one click. Arabic reads right to left.

How do our volunteers and honourees get their tickets?

Create a hidden ticket at a price of zero and send them a code. They book their seat themselves and get a normal ticket with QR code, so the door treats them like every guest.

Does the treasurer get a clear statement after the gala?

Yes. The settlement per date shows income online and at the door, fees, VAT per rate and tickets per type. You can download it as PDF, or export orders and sales to Excel or CSV.
