Event Ticket Hub School event ticketing system for plays, proms and PTA events
Parents pick their seats for the school play from home, every family gets a fair share of tickets, and the PTA sees the money arrive in its own account instead of in envelopes.

What it looks like in practice
The Christmas play: 240 chairs and many grandparents
Every family wants the front rows. You draw the hall once with its rows, cap each family at four tickets, and parents choose their seats online in the evening, not in a queue at the school office.
The prom: tables, menus and a dress code
Year 13 books seats at tables of ten, chooses the main course and answers the dietary question for every ticket. Students buy first with a code before tickets open to partners.
The summer fair: free entry, paid extras
Entry is free, but the PTA wants to know numbers. Families book free tickets and add the paid barbecue plate as an extra, so the grill team knows how much to buy.
On the night: parents at the door
Two parent volunteers scan tickets on their own phones. A family that forgot their tickets is found by name in seconds, and the whole order is checked in at once.
A school event ticketing system has to work for people who are not ticketing professionals: teachers, PTA volunteers and parents who sell tickets a few times a year. Event Ticket Hub gives your school or PTA its own ticket page, where families buy tickets for the play, the concert or the prom, pay by card, PayPal or bank transfer, and get their tickets by email. No more cash in envelopes, no more lists on paper, and every payment goes to the account of the school or the PTA.
School audiences are mixed, so the page speaks 16 languages, and families switch with one tap; emails and tickets follow their choice. For the play, draw the hall from the template with rows and let parents pick reserved seats online. A maximum per buyer keeps the front rows fair, and a code lets students or members of a year group buy before everyone else. On the night, parent volunteers check tickets with the event check-in app on their phones, no special devices needed.
What you get
Your hall with its rows
Start from the hall template, add your rows and the stage, and mark seats that are blocked. Parents choose seats online, and no seat is sold twice.
A fair share per family
Set a minimum and maximum per order and a maximum per buyer, so tickets for the popular evening reach as many families as possible.
Tickets in the family's language
Your ticket page, checkout, emails and tickets come in 16 languages, with Arabic right to left. Each family picks its own.
Students first with a code
Give the graduating year a code that opens their ticket before the public sale, or keep a staff ticket hidden for teachers.
Free events, paid extras
Run the open evening or the summer fair with free tickets and add paid extras such as food or a programme. Extras are booked with a ticket, never alone.
Parents at the door, on their phones
Pair any phone with a short code and it becomes a scanner, offline too. Volunteers find guests by name and check in a whole family at once.
Set up the next school play in an evening
Your hall with rows, four tickets per family and a code for students: open Event Ticket Hub and see the set-up a PTA volunteer can finish after the children are in bed.
What a school event costs you to sell
Every amount a platform keeps per ticket is money that does not reach the class trip or the new stage lights. Compare for your own event with the ticket fee calculator.

Create the workspace for your school or PTA
Sign up for KIMISUITE, add Event Ticket Hub and invite the teachers or PTA members who help. The trial runs for fourteen days.
Draw the hall once
Use the hall template with rows, add the stage and block the seats you need for the sound desk. You reuse the plan for every play and concert.
Create the event and its tickets
Add the date, an adult and a child ticket, a maximum per buyer and, if needed, a student ticket that opens with a code.

Pricing
Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for the whole workspace of your school or PTA. You pay per workspace, not per teacher or volunteer and not per ticket, and KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee. On card and PayPal payments, your payment provider charges its usual fee.
Plays, concerts, proms and fairs all run in the same workspace.
Is it the right fit?
A good fit if
- Schools that sell tickets for plays, concerts and graduation events
- PTAs and parent associations that run fairs, discos and fundraising evenings
- Graduation and prom committees with tables, menus and student codes
- Schools with families who read in many languages
Not the right fit if
- Schools that need to collect payments for trips, meals or uniforms; this is for event tickets
- Committees that want parents to pay in instalments
- Schools that only need a list of who is coming, without tickets at the door
- Organisers who must take payments in several currencies
