Non-Profit Organizations: Ticketing, Registration, and Event Management
Nonprofit event ticketing should not eat into your fundraising margins or create extra work for your staff. SimpleTix gives nonprofits a simpler way to sell tickets, manage registrations, run memberships, and check in guests without contracts, subscriptions, or bloated fees.
If you run galas, community fundraisers, educational programs, seasonal events, or member-only experiences, you need software that stays out of the way. That’s the point. SimpleTix helps nonprofit teams move fast, keep costs low, and get paid the same day.
Get started — $0.79 + 2% per ticket
Why nonprofit event ticketing needs to be simple
Nonprofits usually work with small teams, tight budgets, and a long to-do list. Your ticketing platform has to do more than process payments. It needs to support fundraising events, registrations, memberships, and in-person check-in without adding another layer of admin work.
That’s where SimpleTix fits.
You get transparent pricing at $0.79 + 2% per ticket, with no contracts, no subscriptions, and no fees on free events. You can also choose to pass fees to attendees or absorb them yourself.
That matters when every dollar counts.
Nonprofit event ticketing for fundraisers, classes, and community events
Not every nonprofit event works the same way. You may run a donor dinner one month, a family festival the next, and a free volunteer training after that. SimpleTix supports that variety without forcing you into a complicated setup.
You can sell:
- General admission tickets with timed entry and capacity management
- Reserved seating with interactive seat maps
- Season tickets for ongoing programming
- Flex Pass products for multi-use entry with attendee photo verification
- Free registrations with no platform fees
Instead of patching together different tools, you can manage more event types in one place.

Keep more revenue from every event
Many nonprofits do not need enterprise software. They need predictable pricing and fewer surprise charges. SimpleTix keeps the cost structure easy to understand.
Here’s what you get:
- $0.79 + 2% per paid ticket
- No contracts
- No monthly subscriptions
- No fees on free events
- Same-day payouts
- Stripe, Square, PayPal, and Venmo options
That combination is especially useful for nonprofit teams that rely on cash flow from ticket sales, sponsorship events, and on-site purchases. Same-day payouts can also help you cover event expenses faster.
You can review full details on the pricing page.
Built for nonprofit event ticketing and donor-friendly checkout
A clunky checkout can hurt conversions. If registration feels slow or confusing, fewer people finish the process. SimpleTix gives you a cleaner path from interest to completed order.
You can customize checkout with:
- Custom attendee questions
- Promo codes and special offers
- BOGO and quantity discounts
- Waitlists for sold-out events
- Abandoned cart recovery emails
- Custom registration pages
- Embeddable widgets for your website
That means you can collect the details you need, offer supporter perks, and keep the buying experience aligned with your brand.
For nonprofits that already use Square for in-person sales, the Square ticketing software page shows how that setup works.
Memberships and member-only access without extra tools
Many nonprofits do more than sell event tickets. They also manage supporters, recurring memberships, and member benefits. SimpleTix helps you handle that in the same system.
You can offer:
- One-time memberships
- Recurring and auto-renewing memberships
- Tiered membership levels
- Member-only pricing
- Complimentary tickets for members
- Online and box office membership sales
- Member communication tools
That setup works well for museums, cultural groups, community organizations, and nonprofits with year-round programming. Instead of juggling separate membership and event systems, you can connect them.
Easier check-in for staff and volunteers
Event day should feel organized, not chaotic. Many nonprofit teams rely on volunteers, temporary staff, or part-time coordinators, so ease of use matters.
SimpleTix includes the Organizer mobile app for iOS and Android. Staff can scan tickets, manage admissions, and even work in offline mode if internet service gets spotty.
Helpful tools include:
- Mobile scanning
- Offline scanning mode
- Scan-only mode for staff
- Group admit for batch check-in
- Hardware scanner support
- Ticket printing from the mobile app
- Staff permissions and user roles
Whether you run a gala, a 5K registration table, or a holiday market, your team can move guests through the line faster.
Nonprofit event ticketing that works with your existing tools
Most nonprofits already use email platforms, CRMs, payment processors, and website builders. You should not have to rebuild your workflow just to change ticketing providers.
SimpleTix connects with tools many organizations already use, including:
- Mailchimp
- Constant Contact
- HubSpot
- Zapier
- Make
- Zoom
- SmartWaiver
- Stripe
- Square
You can also add conversion tracking with Google and Facebook pixels. If you promote events online, that helps you see what is driving registrations.
For reference on digital fundraising and donor behavior, the Blackbaud Institute publishes nonprofit sector research worth reviewing.
Better support for busy nonprofit teams
Software matters. Support matters more when your event is live.
SimpleTix is built for organizations that want a simpler setup and responsive help when they need it. That is one reason many teams compare us to larger platforms that often feel more expensive and harder to navigate.

Eventbrite Pricing 2026: Fees, Refunds & What’s Actually Changed
-

Eventbrite pricing 2026 is a lot for event organizers to sort through. There are longstanding policies that quietly cost paid-event operators real money, and there is genuine news under new ownership. This guide covers what the fees actually cost you today, what actually changed under the Bending Spoons acquisition, and how the alternatives compare on real numbers. Below is the honest breakdown, sourced to Eventbrite's own pricing page and SEC filings. Eventbrite pricing 2026: current fee structure As of 2026, Eventbrite charges 3.7% + $1.79 per paid ticket for the service fee, plus 2.9% for payment processing. In-person sales carry a $1 + 2.9% fee. There is no per-ticket fee cap. For a quick benchmark of total organizer-side fees: On a $25 ticket, fees total about $3.44 (13.8%) On a $50 ticket, fees total about $5.09 (10.2%) On a $100 ticket, fees total about $8.39 (8.4%) On a $500 ticket, fees total about $34.79 (7.0%) On a $1,000 ticket, fees total about $67.79 (6.8%) The fees scale with ticket price with no ceiling. That is the story for anyone selling premium tickets, season passes, VIP tiers, or corporate packages. Eventbrite pricing 2026: no per-ticket fee cap Eventbrite does not cap total ticket fees. This has been true since 2018, when Eventbrite removed the previous cap during its IPO. For most organizers selling everyday tickets ($20 to $50), the absence of a cap rarely comes up in the math. But for organizers selling premium tickets, the uncapped structure translates into real per-event cost. Take a conference selling three ticket tiers on Eventbrite: $150 general admission: fee about $12.34 (8.2%) $400 VIP ticket: fee about $27.09 (6.8%) $800 sponsor ticket: fee about $50.90 (6.4%) For a 200-person conference with a mix of GA and VIP tickets, that translates into hundreds of dollars...
Haunted House Ticketing Software: Timed Entry, Scanning & Capacity Control for 2026
-
by
If you run a haunted attraction, October is your Super Bowl. So how you sell tickets from June through September decides how the whole season goes. This guide covers what haunted house ticketing software actually needs to do in 2026, how to pick one, and what SimpleTix costs for haunts of any size. What haunted house ticketing software needs to do Selling haunted house tickets is not like selling concert tickets. First, capacity is measured in throughput per hour, not in seats. Second, weather can shut you down without warning. Third, most of your revenue happens across three or four weekends. And fourth, your staff is often in costume at 9pm in a field with spotty cell service. So the ticketing software has to handle all of that. Here is the checklist most haunt operators use: Timed entry with per-slot capacity control so lines stay manageable Fast scanning at the gate, including offline mode for outdoor venues Re-entry passes for multi-attraction ticketing Add-ons for photos, upcharges, VIP fast-pass Group and family bundles so a family of five is one checkout, not five Waitlists for when peak-hour slots sell out Attendee wallet passes so guests are not fumbling for paper Same-day or fast payouts during the season crunch If your current tool cannot do all of that, it is worth switching now. The last thing you want is to be debugging your ticketing at 8pm on the first weekend of October. How does timed entry work for haunted houses? Timed entry lets you release a fixed number of tickets per time slot (typically every 15 or 30 minutes) so guests arrive in waves instead of a single 7pm crush. For a walkthrough haunt with a 45-minute experience, that usually means 20 to 40 guests per 15-minute window. So over a four-hour...
Partiful Just Launched Ticketing: What Event Organizers Need to Know
-
by
Partiful just launched ticketing. As of June 2, 2026, hosts can now sell tickets directly inside the Partiful app on iOS, Android, and web. Initially, the feature is rolling out to U.S. hosts. Then broader availability is planned in the coming months. If you have run events before, you probably already know Partiful. It is the social-first invitation platform with millions of monthly active users. Until now, every paid event on Partiful had to push guests off-platform to actually buy a ticket. So this launch closes that gap. But here is the question every event organizer needs to ask. Is Partiful's new ticketing the right platform for your event? Or is it built for a different kind of host? Below is the honest breakdown. What Partiful Ticketing actually does Partiful's launch covers the basics every casual social host needs: Ticket tiers with multiple pricing levels Capacity limits to cap attendance Promo codes for special guest pricing QR code check-in at the door SMS notifications to attendees Staff permissions so bouncers or co-hosts can check guests in Sales tracking for real-time payouts and attendance Also, payment processing runs through Stripe. Then payouts are available roughly three days after the event ends. Meanwhile, free tickets carry no fees. Paid ticket fees scale with event size and ticket price. So Partiful shows hosts the exact fee during setup, and hosts can pass it on or absorb it. CEO Shreya Murthy framed the launch this way: "Ticketing has always lived outside the social experience of an event — you buy a ticket somewhere else, then figure out who's going. We think that's backwards." So if your event lives or dies on word of mouth and the "who else is going" dynamic, Partiful's pitch is real. The platform is built around social discovery, dynamic invites,...
