Event ticketing for sports socials, from pickleball to watch parties

7 reasons social sports organisers choose One Ticket

1. Capped by the court. Set each session’s cap by how many can play at once. It closes when the courts are full.
2. Weekly sessions as a series. Repeat the social weekly and every session sits on one link, each with its own player list.
3. Levels as ticket types. Sell beginner and open spots as separate ticket types, each with its own cap.
4. Regulars subscribe. Players subscribe weekly, fortnightly or monthly and get each session’s ticket issued for them.
5. Drop-ins at the court. Record cash and comps for walk-ups with the box office.
6. Covering the courts is simple. You receive the whole ticket price, so a session priced to cover the courts covers them. The player pays the booking fee on top.
7. Check-in from courtside. Scan players’ QR codes from any phone, or find them by name.

How it works for social sports organisers

1. Create the session with a ticket type capped at the players the courts take.
2. Set it to repeat weekly, and add a subscription for regulars.
3. Share the link in the club chat.
4. Check players in courtside, and take cash for drop-ins at the box office.

Common questions

Can I cap a session by the courts?

Yes. Each session has its own cap, and each ticket type can have one too.

Can players pay weekly?

Yes. Add a subscription plan to the series, billed weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Each player’s ticket for the next session is issued before it runs.

What if a session is rained out?

If you move a paid session’s date or start time after people have booked, each of them can refund in full, booking fee included, until it starts. Cancelling doesn’t refund anyone by itself: refund each order from Orders.

What does a buyer pay on a $15 ticket?

$16.28: the $15 ticket price and a $1.28 booking fee. You receive the whole $15, and the fee is the same on every plan.
