5 Ways to Use SignUpGenius Tickets

Planning a big event soon? Whether it’s a championship game, a school performance, or a fundraising gala, one thing’s for sure — keeping track of attendees, ticket sales, and payments can get complicated fast.

That’s where a smart ticketing tool makes all the difference. If you’re already using SignUpGenius to coordinate volunteers or manage sign ups, you’re just a few clicks away from handling ticketing, too — no new logins, no steep learning curve! With SignUpGenius Tickets, you can easily create events, sell tickets, track attendance, and stay organized every step of the way.

Here are five creative ways to use SignUpGenius Tickets — plus some helpful tips to make each event easier to manage and more successful.

1. Sell Game Day Tickets for School Sports

From packed Friday night football games to springtime soccer matches, school sports events draw a crowd — and organizing ticket sales shouldn’t slow you down.

With SignUpGenius Tickets, you can create a custom ticketing page for each game, offering general admission, student pricing, or even VIP seating if you want to upgrade the experience. It’s a flexible and simple way to manage single-event tickets while keeping all your sales and attendance data in one place.

You can set capacity limits to avoid overcrowding, track revenue as tickets sell, and get a real-time view of who’s coming. Checking in guests is a breeze with built-in QR code scanning — and since each ticket is emailed as a PDF, attendees can easily pull it up on their phone at the gate.

No paper tickets to manage, no cash boxes to juggle — just a smooth, organized game day from start to finish.

2. Simplify Theater Performance Ticketing

When it comes to opening night, the last thing you need is chaos at the door. Whether you're organizing a musical, improv show, or student showcase, ticketing should be the easy part.

With SignUpGenius Tickets, you can create different ticket types. Set your tickets as general admission, student pricing, or front-row seats to change up pricing. Customize your event page to match the tone of your show, and even ask helpful questions at checkout — like which cast member invited them or whether anyone in their party needs accessible seating.

Once your ticket sales are live, you can easily track guest counts and revenue, so you're never left guessing how many programs to print or how many volunteers to schedule.

3. Create Exclusive Gala Packages

Big nights come with big expectations. Fundraising galas and formal events often require more than just a basic ticket option. You might need to offer sponsor tables, premium perks, or multi-guest packages — and SignUpGenius Tickets makes it easy to build those in.

You can set up tiered ticket levels based on sponsorship amounts, offer full-table options, and collect custom info during checkout like meal choices or seating preferences - perfect for keeping your planning in sync.

4. Sell Festival Passes Without the Fuss

Festivals are fun, but managing tickets for them isn’t as thrilling. If you're organizing a community fair, holiday market, or multi-day celebration, having flexible ticket options and attendee data at your fingertips makes a huge difference.

With SignUpGenius Tickets, you can offer single-day passes or offer special pricing for families — all from a mobile-friendly event page. Need to cap capacity? Just set a ticket limit and let the system do the rest!

QR code scanning at check-in means less time managing lines and more time keeping the event running smoothly. And you’ll have access to real-time attendance numbers and revenue updates all weekend long.

5. Organize Concerts and Performances

Live performances bring incredible energy, and they also involve a lot of moving parts. Whether you're managing a choir concert, student talent show, or community music night, you’ll want to keep the focus on the performers, not the ticket logistics.

SignUpGenius Tickets helps you sell tickets online, track audience size, and check guests in with just a quick QR code scan. And best of all? You can see how many tickets have sold and how much revenue you’ve earned before the first note is played.
