Explore featuresNo accounts for parents
No login, no password, or app to download. Parents and guests can book, pay and get tickets without needing to set up an account. Add to your Google or Apple Wallet for ease at check in.
Privacy you can stand behind
TryBooking doesn’t share data with third parties or promote other events to your parents. Security and privacy you can put in front of your leadership team.
Committees change. Your events don’t.
Duplicate events from previous years – same setup, same seating plan, same custom questions. When the new coordinator takes over, they don’t start from scratch.

Features for schools
On the day
Check-in and onsite payments just got easier! If you're scanning tickets or selling tickets on the door, we have two perfect apps to help.
Box Office App
Accept card, cash and contactless payments instantly at your event with our Box Office app. Great for ticket sales, merchandise, refreshments and more!
Scanning App
Validate tickets at entry, scan guests in and out, and monitor live attendance numbers. Works offline, and volunteers can help without seeing your data.
They are always at the end of the phone
"The event setup process is intuitive and easy to use with extensive reporting features allowing us to gather information and communicate with our customers in a variety of easy ways. I would recommend TryBooking to those looking for a cost effective and comprehensive ticketing solution for any type of event."
