What it looks like in practice
The committee meeting: who does the tickets this year?
Last year one volunteer kept the list in a notebook and took cash at her front door. This year the association runs the sale online, and any committee member can look at the numbers.
Members first, a week early
The annual ball sells to members seven days before the public. Members get a code by email that opens their member ticket; the public ticket starts selling a week later by itself.
The summer festival weekend
Friday concert, Saturday market, Sunday family day. Visitors buy a day ticket or a weekend pass that covers all three days, with one entry per day.
Monday after: the treasurer's turn
Online income, cash from the door, VAT per rate and tickets per type sit in one settlement per date. The treasurer downloads it and closes the event.
Online ticket sales for associations have to fit the way an association works: volunteers who change every year, members who expect their own price, and a treasurer who needs to account for every coin. Event Ticket Hub gives your association its own ticket page with your logo, where members and the public book concerts, balls, festivals and open days, and pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer straight into the association's own account. Free events such as an open day run through the same checkout with free tickets, so you still know how many people are coming.
Member prices stay with members. A member ticket can stay hidden and open only with a code, and a sales window per ticket type lets members book before the public. At the event, volunteers check in guests with their phones and sell at the box office for cash or card, each shift counted and closed. Your association pays one price for its workspace, however many volunteers help, and KIMISUITE adds 0 % per ticket; ticket payments go to your own account at your payment provider's usual fee.
What you get
Members' presale with a code
Hide the member ticket from the public and open it with a code you send to members. Give it an earlier sales window, and the public ticket starts later on its own.
Day tickets and weekend passes
For a festival with several days, sell tickets for one day, for every day, or for chosen days. A pass gives one entry per day.
Volunteers on their own phones
Pair any phone as a scanner with a short code. Scanner devices are unlimited, so every helper at every gate can check tickets.
A till that the treasurer trusts
Each box office shift opens with the float and closes with counted cash and the card total. The numbered Z report shows sales, refunds and VAT.
VAT per ticket, or none at all
Set the VAT rate on each ticket type, or switch on the small-business setting if your association does not charge VAT.
Invoices for sponsors and companies
Companies enter their details at checkout. With CRM Business Hub in the same workspace, their paid orders become invoices, and buyers land in Contacts without duplicates.
Show your committee how it works
A members' presale, a festival pass and a box office run by volunteers: open Event Ticket Hub and walk through a set-up your committee can approve in one meeting.

How to get started
Open the association's workspace
Create a KIMISUITE workspace in the association's name, add Event Ticket Hub and invite the committee. The trial lasts fourteen days.
Set up payments and VAT
Connect the association's Stripe, PayPal or Bankart account or turn on bank transfer, and set VAT or the small-business setting.
Create the event and its tickets
Add the event and its dates, a public ticket, a hidden member ticket and, for festivals, a pass for all days. Create the member code.
Brief your volunteers
Pair the volunteers' phones as scanners or box office devices, send the member code, then open the public sale.
Pricing
Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for the association's whole workspace. You pay per workspace, not per volunteer and not per ticket, and KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee. On card and PayPal payments, your payment provider charges its usual fee.
Committee members and volunteers work in the same workspace with the rights you give them.

Not the right fit if
- Associations looking for membership management or annual fee collection
- Organisers who want to import their member list as a guest list
- Fundraising campaigns that need donations or tax receipts
