Why schools consider switching
Transparent, predictable pricing
Hometown Ticketing uses per-ticket fees that require a sales call to understand. Ticket Committee has simple yearly plans listed publicly with zero platform fees on ticket sales. Students can register online and choose to pay with cash before the event or at the door - you collect all their information without needing a payment processor.
Parent safety notifications
Ticket Committee automatically texts parents when their child checks in and out of events. This N.A.R.K. feature is built-in and is critical for dances, after-prom, and youth events.
Works for all school events
Hometown Ticketing is focused on athletics and large districts. Ticket Committee works equally well for plays, fundraisers, dances, concerts, and any other school event - not just sports.
