What it looks like in practice
September: the room goes online
You rebuild last year's ballroom as a table plan: twenty round tables of ten, the dance floor, the bar. The early-bird ticket goes on sale the same afternoon, with a sales window that closes on the date you pick.
November: the kitchen starts asking
How many vegetarians? Who needs gluten-free? Your guests answered in the checkout, ticket by ticket. Chef gets a list with names and seats instead of forty forwarded emails.
29 December: a regular wants eight more seats
A long-time guest calls for a family table and wants to pay by bank transfer. You book the order yourself, mark the payment as open, and the seats stay his while the money is on its way.
31 December, 11.40 pm: the party crowd arrives
Dinner guests are seated, and now the after-dinner crowd is at the door. Two phones scan tickets even when the hotel Wi-Fi gives up, and the box office sells the last party tickets for cash or card.
When you sell tickets for New Year's Eve party nights and gala dinners, the ticket itself is the easy part. Behind every booking sits a chair at a table, a menu upgrade, an allergy, and often a company that needs an invoice. Event Ticket Hub puts all of it into one checkout on your own ticket page, under your logo and with your legal texts. Your guests pay through your Stripe, PayPal or Bankart account or by bank transfer, and the money reaches your own account as each guest pays, weeks before the party.
New Year's Eve is the night of the year with your highest ticket prices, and that is where a percentage fee per ticket costs you the most. KIMISUITE takes 0 % per ticket; you pay your payment provider's usual fee and one monthly price for the workspace. The cost overview further down shows what stays with you, and the ticket fee calculator works out your own night. Draw your room once with the online seating plan, let guests pick their seats, and check everyone in with the ticket scanner on your team's phones. Still working out what a seat has to cost? The event ticket price calculator helps you find a price that covers the menu, the band and the champagne.
What you get
Tables of ten, drawn in minutes
Start from the restaurant template, set round or square tables to eight or ten seats and place the dance floor, stage and bar. Guests see the room and choose their own seats at the table they want.
Menu upgrades and drinks as extras
Offer the champagne reception, the drinks package or a parking space as extras. Guests add them while they book, and an extra is never sold without a ticket.
Dietary needs per guest
Ask every guest about allergies and diets, per ticket and as a required answer. The answers sit in the order and in the attendee list, ready for the kitchen.
Early bird that ends by itself
Give the early-bird ticket its own sales window and the normal price takes over on the date you set. Or switch price after a number of tickets sold, so the first fifty seats reward the fastest guests.
Party tickets at the door
Sell party-only tickets at the box office for cash or card, put friends on the guest list, and close the shift with a Z report. Every sale counts against the same plan, so no seat is sold twice.
A scanner that keeps working at midnight
Pair as many phones as you have door staff. The scanner checks signed QR codes offline and syncs when the network is back, and live numbers show who is still to come.
See a New Year's Eve gala set up step by step
Tables of ten, an early-bird price, a menu upgrade and a party-only ticket for after dinner: open Event Ticket Hub and follow the set-up from the empty room to the first sale.

How to get started
Add Event Ticket Hub to your workspace
Create your KIMISUITE workspace, open the app store and add Event Ticket Hub. You get fourteen days to set up your whole evening before the first payment.
Draw your room
Pick the restaurant template, set the tables to ten seats, place the dance floor and bar, and give the tables a price category. Do this on a laptop or tablet; the editor needs the bigger screen.
Build the evening
Create the event and the date, then the tickets: a dinner ticket at the table with an early-bird window, a normal dinner ticket, and a party-only ticket from midnight. Add extras and the dietary question.
Connect payments and publish
Connect your Stripe, PayPal or Bankart account or turn on bank transfer, then publish. Share the link and the QR code on your website, in your newsletter and on the poster in the lobby.
Pricing
Event Ticket Hub starts at a fixed monthly price (see pricing) for your whole workspace. You pay per workspace, not per user and not per ticket, and KIMISUITE adds a 0 % ticket fee to every seat you sell. Your payment provider charges its usual fee on each payment, nothing else is taken from your gala.
Scanner phones are unlimited in every plan, so the whole door team can help on the night.
Is it the right fit?
A good fit if
- Hotels and restaurants that run a New Year's Eve gala dinner with a fixed table plan
- Venues and clubs that sell a dinner ticket and a separate party ticket for after midnight
- Organisers who want the money on their own account weeks before the night
- Teams that need dietary answers and menu upgrades in the same booking
- Anyone selling expensive tickets who wants a monthly price instead of a percentage
Not the right fit if
- Organisers who want guests to book whole tables online only as one block, with no single seats possible
- Events that must sell in several currencies at once
- Hosts who mainly need a reservation book for walk-in diners rather than tickets
- Fundraising galas that need donations or tax receipts on top of the ticket
