What types of events can I manage with Ticket Committee?

Ticket Committee is built for small to medium-sized events. That includes school plays, concerts, games and dances, plus community gatherings, fundraisers, workshops, local performances and charity events.

How do I get started with Ticket Committee?

Getting started is easy! Simply sign up for an account. Our intuitive interface will guide you through the process of setting up your event, creating tickets, and managing attendees. We also offer helpful resources and support to assist you along the way.

What payment methods are supported?

Buyers pay online with major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover). You can also let attendees pay offline with cash or check.

How does the check-in/check-out notification system work?

When an attendee is checked in or out, we text the parent's phone number from the ticket purchase. Parents know right away when their student arrives and leaves.

How much does Ticket Committee cost?

Ticket Committee uses a simple annual subscription: $99 per year for the base plan, with optional add-ons for additional attendee capacity and additional events. Registered nonprofits receive a 50% discount. There are no platform fees on ticketed events; the only fees on ticket sales are from Stripe (a small platform fee applies to silent auctions). Custom enterprise plans are available.

Can I run a silent auction with Ticket Committee?

Yes. Guests scan a QR code on the printed bid sheet, register with a card on file, and bid from their own phones with no app to download. A display board runs on any TV or laptop in the room and updates live as bids land. When the auction closes, winning cards are charged automatically and you get an end of auction report with every lot, fee, and winner. The silent auction platform fee is 1.2% per winning item, capped at $15 per item, plus Stripe's processing fee.

What kind of support does Ticket Committee offer?

Ticket Committee is founder-run out of Springboro, Ohio. Email hello@@ticketcommittee.com and you hear back from the people who build it, not a ticket queue.

Who is behind Ticket Committee, and what happens to my ticket money?

Ticket Committee is run by its founder, Brian Retterer, through Retty Software, LLC in Springboro, Ohio. Ticket money goes straight to your own Stripe account, not through us, and your attendee list is yours to export any time.

Is my attendees' information safe with you?

Card payments are processed by Stripe, so card numbers never touch our servers. We never sell attendee data or use it to market to your attendees. You can export your attendee list any time and ask us to delete your organization's data. Our security and privacy details are on our Trust page.

Everything you need

Everything the night needs

Doors, bidding, and paperwork. Whatever your event involves, it runs on one subscription against one list of people.

Sell tickets online: Set your ticket types and prices, ask whatever you need at checkout, and stop handling cash at a folding table. Buyers pay from any device.
Bidding from every phone: Guests scan the QR code on a printed bid sheet and bid from where they are standing. No app to download, and outbid alerts by text and email.
Check in from any phone: Volunteers scan or search on whatever device is in their pocket. Parents get a text the moment their child is checked in or out, so every kid is accounted for.
A display board for the room: Put any TV or laptop on the auction board. Lots rotate, bids appear as they land, and it flips to results the second bidding closes.
Waivers signed in advance: Send a link, collect a real signature, and see who has not signed yet. Guardians can sign for a minor on the same form.
One list of people: Ticket buyers, bidders, and signers are the same attendees. Nothing to export, reconcile, or paste between three different tools.

Testimonials

From the people running the events

Venue owners, event chairs, chambers, and parents, in their own words.

"Ticket Committee allows me to work smarter, not harder."

"You're wasting valuable time and money by not using TC. It is incredibly user-friendly from the admin perspective and the public facing perspective. It's customizable, aesthetically pleasing, logical, and makes ticket management as simple as it can be."

Carrie Robbins

Chair/Founder, Dinner on Main

"I love how quick and easy it was to learn! It helps me keep all of my events organized, streamlined, and ready to go. It's been a huge time-saver and has made managing everything so much easier."

Marci A Johannes

"Using Ticket Committee has been a game changer!"

"I loved how seamless the application looked from the user side. It was easy to navigate!"

Samantha

Springboro Chamber of Commerce

"The added assurance of contact with parents, particularly the check-in/check-out confirmations, provides immeasurable peace of mind. Knowing that we'll be immediately notified when our child arrives and departs gives us confidence in their safety."
