What it looks like in practice
The pottery studio: Saturday slots
Morning and afternoon classes for eight people each, every Saturday until spring. You generate the slots in one go, each with its own eight places, and people pick the slot that suits them.
The four-week course
A beginners' photography course meets on four Tuesday evenings. One pass books a place on all four dates; each evening still has its own check-in list.
Comedy every Friday in the back room
Sixty chairs, a new line-up each week. The series sells weeks ahead, and when Friday is full, the waiting list takes over and offers returned seats for 24 hours.
The singer-songwriter gig
Two hundred standing places: most sell online, the rest at the door for cash or card. The comedian or the band never has to touch the money.
How to sell tickets for a workshop without spending your evenings on emails? Put the workshop on your own ticket page with its dates, let people book and pay online, and send everyone a ticket and a reminder the day before. Event Ticket Hub does that for workshops, classes, comedy nights and small concerts. You create the event with its dates once: a weekly series, up to 120 dates, or time slots generated across the weekdays you teach.
Small events live on small margins. KIMISUITE adds 0 % per ticket, the payments go to your own Stripe, PayPal or Bankart account, and you pay one monthly price for the workspace; read how to sell tickets online without ticket fees. With ticket types you sell a single session or a pass for the whole course, a reduced ticket for students, and extras such as materials or a drink. And before you set the price, the event ticket price calculator shows what each place needs to earn to cover room, teacher or artist.
What you get
Time slots in one go
Choose the first and last day, the weekdays, the opening hours, the slot length, breaks and places per slot. Every slot becomes its own date with its own count.
One pass for the whole course
Sell a pass that covers every date of the course, or only the dates you choose. It takes one place on each date and gives one entry per session.
Weekly shows without the busywork
Repeat the comedy night every Friday or the open mic every month. Duplicate a date when the format changes, and each date reports on its own.
A waiting list that fills the gap
Sold-out dates show a waiting list. When a place comes back, the next person gets an offer valid for 24 hours, and you do not lift a finger.
Know your participants
Ask for skill level, apron size or a dietary need, per booking or per ticket. Answers go with the order and the participant list.
Door sales for the gig
Keep a door contingent and sell it at the box office for cash or card. Shift reports show what came in before the band packs up.
Set up your first course or show night
Saturday slots, a four-week pass and a waiting list: open Event Ticket Hub and see how quickly a full term of classes goes online.
What selling your sessions costs
On small events, a fee per ticket can eat a large share of what you earn. See how it adds up for your classes or shows with the ticket fee calculator.

How to get started
Add Event Ticket Hub to your workspace
Sign up for KIMISUITE and add the app. The fourteen-day trial is enough to put a whole term or season online.
Create the event and its dates
Describe the workshop or show with photos, then add a series, time slots or single dates with the number of places.
Choose your tickets
Add a single ticket, a pass for the whole course, a reduced ticket and extras such as materials. Add your questions for participants.
Connect payments and share
Connect your payment account, publish and share the link on social media, in your newsletter and as a QR code on flyers.
Pricing
Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for your whole workspace. You pay per workspace, not per teacher or artist and not per ticket, and KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee. Your payment provider charges its usual fee on each payment.
Classes, comedy nights and gigs all run side by side in the same workspace.
