Farm Ticketing Software for Spring Events, Season Passes, and Fall Admissions

Spring setup gets hectic fast. School field trips, baby animal days, tulip weekends, strawberry openings, sunflower dates, pumpkin season planning, corn maze admissions — it all stacks up.

If you’re looking for farm ticketing software that can handle seasonal traffic without adding complexity, SimpleTix gives you the tools farms actually need: timed entry, season passes, waivers, online and on-site sales, and same-day payouts — all for $0.79 + 2% per ticket.

No contracts. No subscriptions. No fees on free events.
Get started — $0.79 + 2% per ticket

Built for farms that sell more than one kind of admission

Most farms don’t run one simple event. You’re usually managing a mix of:

  • Spring festivals and flower events
  • School and homeschool visits
  • U-pick reservations
  • Summer camps or family activity days
  • Fall admissions for pumpkin patches and corn mazes
  • Photo sessions and specialty weekends
  • Season passes for repeat local visitors

That’s where basic ticketing tools start to break down.

SimpleTix supports seasonal operations with timed General Admission, Season Tickets, Flex Passes, and in-person sales without juggling disconnected systems.

Sell timed entry without creating bottlenecks at the gate

Timed entry can help farms spread arrivals across the day.

With SimpleTix, you can use General Admission with timed entry and capacity management to help:

  • Reduce long entry lines
  • Control parking and staffing pressure
  • Avoid overcrowding in high-traffic areas
  • Improve the arrival experience
  • Keep peak weekends more manageable

This matters in spring when weather windows are tight, and it matters even more in fall when everyone shows up at once.

At the gate, staff can use the SimpleTix Organizer mobile app on iOS or Android to scan tickets quickly. If connectivity is spotty in the field, offline scanning mode helps keep the line moving.

Offer season passes that are easy for families to use

If your farm has repeat visitors, season passes can turn occasional guests into regulars.

SimpleTix supports Season Tickets and Flex Passes, which are useful for farms that want to offer:

  • Spring flower season access
  • Summer family admission packages
  • Fall repeat-entry passes
  • Multi-visit local passes
  • Re-entry options for passholders

Flex Passes support multi-use or re-entry access and include attendee photo verification, which is especially helpful when you want to cut down on pass sharing.

That gives you a practical option for farms offering “visit anytime this season” products without making gate staff guess who the pass belongs to.

Handle waivers and checkout questions before guests arrive

A lot of farm events need more than a name and email.

You may need to collect:

  • Waiver acceptance
  • Emergency contact details
  • Child age info
  • Group or school details
  • Arrival preferences
  • Add-on selections

SimpleTix supports custom attendee questions at checkout, and it integrates with SmartWaiver for digital waivers.

That gives you a way to collect the information you need before guests show up.

For school groups, activity events, and higher-contact attractions, that can make operations easier.

Sell online, at the gate, and through Square without patchwork tools

Farm operations rarely happen from behind one front desk. You may sell tickets:

  • On your website in advance
  • At a farm store or admissions booth
  • On busy weekends with temporary staff
  • At special events using mobile devices

SimpleTix supports online checkout and box office / point-of-sale mode for in-person sales. It also integrates with Square.

With the Square integration, farms can use:

  • POS workflows
  • Gift cards
  • Catalog upsells
  • Compatibility with Square hardware

If your farm already runs parts of the business through Square, SimpleTix can help connect ticketing to the tools your team already knows.

It also supports Stripe for online and in-person payments through the Organizer app, plus PayPal and Venmo checkout.

And because SimpleTix offers same-day payouts, you don’t have to wait around for your event revenue.

Keep your farm branding front and center

A lot of ticketing pages feel like you’re sending customers away to someone else’s platform. That’s not ideal when you’ve worked hard to build a local brand families trust.

SimpleTix gives farms more control over the buying experience with:

  • Embeddable widgets for your existing website
  • Custom registration pages
  • Custom CSS for checkout and event pages

So instead of pushing customers to a generic third-party page, you can keep ticket sales connected to your own site and brand.

That matters for farms because trust, repeat visits, and word-of-mouth are a big part of the business.

Promote spring events now and set up fall before the rush

Seasonal businesses don’t get much room for error. If ticketing isn’t ready before the traffic hits, your team feels it immediately.

SimpleTix helps farms prepare ahead with tools for:

  • Promo codes
  • Special offers
  • BOGO
  • Quantity discounts
  • Waitlists for sold-out events
  • Abandoned cart recovery emails
  • Automated reminder emails
  • Email blasts to attendees

That makes it easier to market spring openings, move slower dates, reward early buyers, and build momentum before fall admissions go live.

If you run major seasonal weekends, you can also use conversion tracking with Google and Facebook pixels to better understand what’s driving ticket sales.

Better for real farm operations, not just generic events

Farm events have different pressure points than a standard venue.

You’re often dealing with:

  • Outdoor check-in areas
  • Temporary staff and seasonal workers
  • Weather-driven attendance swings
  • Mixed ticket types
  • High-volume family traffic
  • Add-on revenue opportunities
  • Repeat local visitors
  • Retail and admissions happening at the same time

SimpleTix includes features such as:

You can sell:
Timed General Admission
Season Tickets
Flex Passes
Reserved Seating if you host seated events or specialty experiences

You can check guests in with:
– Mobile scanning
– Offline scanning
– Group admit for batch check-in
– Scan-only staff settings

And you can manage the business side with:
– Sales, scan, and attendee reports
– Interactive analytics
– Staff permissions
– Sales tax configuration
– Scheduled reports and notifications

In short: it works for farms running busy seasonal admissions without forcing you into an oversized system.

Why farms choose SimpleTix over bigger ticketing platforms

If you’re comparison shopping, here’s the simple version:

1. The pricing is straightforward

SimpleTix is $0.79 + 2% per ticket.

There are:
No contracts
No subscriptions
No fees on free events

You can also choose to pass fees to attendees or absorb them.

2. It covers both online and on-site sales

That matters for farms where not every customer buys in advance.

3. It works with Square

If your team already uses Square for retail or concessions, that’s a big practical advantage.

4. It supports repeat-visit products

Season Tickets, Flex Passes, and photo verification are useful for seasonal farms with loyal local traffic.

5. It keeps things simpler

A lot of platforms pile on complexity that small and mid-sized farm operations don’t need. SimpleTix focuses on the tools that help you sell, scan, and manage admissions without dragging your team through a long setup.

6. It includes the core tools farms need

Timed entry, passes, waivers, mobile scanning, in-person sales, and reporting all live in one system.

A better way to set up spring and fall admissions

Whether you’re launching spring events now or getting ahead on fall planning, the right farm ticketing software should help you do three things:

  • Sell tickets without friction
  • Control attendance on busy days
  • Keep operations simple for staff and guests

That’s exactly where SimpleTix fits.

You get timed entry, season passes, waivers, Square workflows, mobile scanning, and same-day payouts — without contracts or subscription fees.

Introducing SignPayGo: Permission Slips, Waivers & Payments in One Link

  • Vikram Bodas
    by Vikram Bodas • May 14, 2026

Today we are launching SignPayGo. It is a new product from the team behind SimpleTix. SignPayGo is all-in-one permission slip software that combines waivers, e-signatures, and payment collection in a single link. And we built it for camps, schools, sports programs, and youth organizations. If you run programs with permission slips, liability waivers, and parent payments, you know the workflow. First, paper slips come back half-completed. Then a separate e-signature tool handles the legal parts. Finally, Venmo or checks handle the money. So SignPayGo replaces all three with one link. signpaygo.com — Get started free Why we built SignPayGo The same problem kept showing up in conversations with SimpleTix customers. Ticketing worked fine. But the paperwork around their programs did not. For example, permission slips lived on paper. Meanwhile, liability waivers lived in a separate DocuSign account. Deposit payments lived in Venmo. Full payments came by check. And balances lived in a spreadsheet. Every program admin we talked to was doing the same manual reconciliation at the end of every week. So we built SignPayGo to solve that specific problem. First, one link goes to a parent. Then the slip, the signature, and the payment all happen in a single flow. The parent fills it out on their phone. Meanwhile, the admin sees it in the dashboard. No more chasing paperwork. If you trust how SimpleTix handles event ticketing, expect the same standard here. Clear pricing. Real support. And software built by the same team. What SignPayGo does Six features cover the entire permission slip workflow. Here is how each one works. Permission slips and waivers First, you get custom fields, ready-to-use templates, and liability language your attorney will approve. Also, you can build a permission slip in under ten minutes from a template. Or start from scratch with custom...

Tap to Pay on iPhone with Square: Accept Ticket Payments Without a Card Reader If you sell tickets at the door, Tap to Pay on iPhone can make that process simpler. You can accept contactless payments directly in the SimpleTix Organizer app using Square, with no extra card reader needed. That means your staff can take payments on an iPhone Xs or later using physical debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets. Why Tap to Pay on iPhone matters for event organizers Many events still need a way to take payments on site. Farms, festivals, popups, attractions, and community events may want a simple option for in-person sales. Previously, that usually meant a separate reader. However, Tap to Pay on iPhone removes that extra device. If your team already has an iPhone, they can take contactless payments right from the phone. This can be useful when your sales setup is mobile or temporary. For example, maybe you sell from a gate, a folding table, a merch tent, or while walking the grounds. It can also help keep sales inside the same Organizer app you already use for box office and check-in. What Tap to Pay on iPhone does inside SimpleTix SimpleTix supports Tap to Pay on iPhone in the Organizer app, powered by Square.

Eventbrite’s New Owner Just Cut Staff: What It Means for Event Organizers...

  • Vikram Bodas
    by Vikram Bodas • April 21, 2026

Eventbrite's New Owner Just Cut Staff: What It Means for Event Organizers in 2026 If you run events and use Eventbrite, the last 30 days have been noisy. In March 2026, Italian software holding company Bending Spoons completed its $500 million acquisition of Eventbrite, taking the platform private. In April, new leadership announced staff cuts and a shift to operating with what they called "a leaner team." Here's what actually changed, what it could mean for your events, and why a lot of organizers are quietly evaluating their options. The quick version of what happened December 2025: Bending Spoons announced the acquisition March 2026: Deal closed at roughly $500 million. Eventbrite is now a private company, no longer publicly traded April 13, 2026: New Eventbrite leader Andrea Parodi announced staff cuts and a new product roadmap Headcount trend: Eventbrite went from 866 employees at the end of 2023 to 636 at the end of 2025 — and the latest cuts bring it lower Bending Spoons isn't new to this playbook. They've acquired Vimeo, WeTransfer, Evernote, and AOL in recent years. Each acquisition has followed a similar pattern: buy the product, cut a significant portion of the workforce, consolidate operations. That's the backdrop. Now the organizer question: what does it mean for you? What organizers should actually be watching 1. Support quality Fewer people usually means slower replies. If you've ever been 48 hours out from doors opening and needed a fast answer from support, you know how much that matters. Watch your response times on tickets opened after April 2026 and compare them to what you got in 2024-2025. If things slow down, that's not a one-off — it's the new steady state. 2. Product direction New ownership always means a new roadmap. Parodi's announcement talked about faster event creation,...
