FacilEvents for schools & PTAs

Ticketing for school fairs and PTA fundraisers

Sell tickets for fairs, shows and fundraisers on your own branded page — family bundles, QR entry run by volunteers, food vouchers redeemed at the counter — with the money landing directly in the school or PTA’s own account.

From ticket sales to the food counter

Fairs, shows and fundraisers

Christmas fair, summer fete, school play: each event gets its own page with your school or PTA branding, entry tickets and food/drink items sold together in one order.

Family bundles that actually sell

Price the family, not just the seat — a family-of-4 ticket at a small discount fills the hall faster than four individual tickets ever will. Each ticket type has its own stock and price.

The gate without the queue

Every ticket is a QR code checked in from volunteers’ phones, several scanning at once. No paper list, no name-searching, and a code fallback for lost emails.

Food and drinks by voucher

Burgers, cakes, drinks sold online or at the door — redeemed by QR at the counter so nothing is served twice. The kitchen sees only the kitchen screen.

No accounts, no app, no fuss for parents

Parents buy as guests and get the QR by email. No marketplace account, no app to install, no ads for other events.

Money the treasurer can see

Payments land directly in the PTA or school’s own SumUp or Stripe account at the moment of sale. Reconciliation is your own bank statement, not a platform payout report.

Frequently asked questions

Do parents need to create an account to buy tickets?

No. They buy as guests, pay by card, and receive their QR tickets by email. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.

Can volunteers run the gate without training?

Yes — that is the design constraint behind the whole tool. A volunteer opens the check-in screen on their own phone and scans; duplicates are refused automatically. Each role sees only its own screen.

What does it cost a PTA?

£19.99/month + 1% of ticket sales, with a 14-day free trial and no card to start. One fair of 150 × £5 tickets is £750 through a professional page — the subscription pays for itself in saved volunteer hours.

We are a registered charity — anything extra for us?

Yes: the giving module (donations with UK Gift Aid declaration capture and HMRC-ready export) is free, at 0%. Useful for donation drives outside event season.

Can we use our own web address?

You get yourname.facilevents.com immediately, and you can connect your own domain (e.g. events.yourschoolpta.org.uk) from the admin — SSL is automatic.
