Interactive revenue calculator
Compare retained revenue after estimated ticketing fees.
Use this calculator to model the organizer-side impact when fees are absorbed by the event. If you pass fees to buyers, the same savings can help lower the final checkout total or make pricing easier to explain.
The legacy software defaults model a higher-fee school-ticketing setup: $1.50 per ticket + 2.5% platform fee plus 2.9% + $0.30 processing. Adjust the assumptions to match a quote from any provider.

One ticketing flow for many high school departments
High schools are complex event organizations. The athletic department may sell playoff tickets, the theater program may sell reserved-performance admission, student activities may sell dance tickets, and booster groups may run fundraisers. A ticketing system should support that variety without forcing each group into a different process.
TixFlo provides a consistent foundation: publish a public event page, collect payment through hosted checkout, deliver QR tickets, and validate them at entry. That makes the process easier to teach across departments and easier for families to recognize.
Fee visibility for administrators and families
When ticketing fees are unclear, administrators hear about it from families and treasurers see it in the net proceeds. TixFlo’s fee model is designed to be easy to explain. Schools can model expected attendance, ticket price, and average order size before deciding whether to absorb processing costs or pass them to buyers.
The calculator helps turn that discussion into numbers. For a high-volume dance, tournament, or performance run, even a small fee difference can add up to meaningful money for student programming.
Check-in that matches school staffing reality
The person scanning tickets might be an assistant principal, coach, teacher, security staff member, booster volunteer, or student worker. TixFlo’s QR-first check-in flow is intended to be simple enough for rotating staff while still tied to paid ticket state.
That matters most when doors open and everyone arrives at once. A mobile scanner and clear ticket status can reduce confusion, speed up lines, and help staff resolve issues without digging through unrelated systems.
