Ticket Committee - Simple ticketing for your events

👋 Hey Product Hunt community!

I'm incredibly excited to introduce Ticket Committee to you all! As a parent and school volunteer, I witnessed firsthand how chaotic event management can be - and more importantly, how dangerous the lack of real-time communication about student safety truly is.

The problem that started it all

After joining my school's AfterProm committee, I was shocked by the inefficiency: paper tickets, cash transactions, and zero visibility into who was actually at the event. But the real wake-up call came when I realized parents had no idea if their child left early or was even safe. That's when I knew I had to build something better.

Why Ticket Committee?

🚨 N.A.R.K. Safety System: Automatically texts parents when students check in/out of events - a truly unique safety feature you won't find elsewhere

🎫 Seamless Ticket Sales: Beautiful, mobile-optimized ticket pages that handle everything from pricing to payment processing

📝 Integrated Digital Waivers: Secure e-signatures eliminate paperwork and ensure compliance, all in one platform

📱 Real-time Check-in: QR code scanning with instant parent notifications for complete transparency

💳 Smart Payment Processing: Stripe integration handles complex scenarios like group orders and additional attendee payments

📊 Live Event Dashboard: Monitor attendance, process refunds, and manage your event in real-time

🔒 Built for Safety: Every feature designed with student safety and parent peace of mind as the top priority

What I'm most proud of

The N.A.R.K. service has already transformed how schools handle student safety at events. Seeing the relief on parents' faces when they get that "Your child has safely checked in" text message - that's why I built this. We've successfully managed events like our local Springboro AfterProm, and the feedback has been overwhelming.

This isn't just another event platform - it's a safety-first solution built by someone who understands the real challenges schools and community organizations face.

I can't wait for you to try Ticket Committee and see how it transforms your events! Start with our free tier and let me know how it helps keep your attendees safe and your events running smoothly! 🎉

This has been a great product for our AfterProm events! It has made ticket purchases more efficient and it has allowed for us to communicate with parents incredibly effectively. It's easy to use, so volunteers need minimal training.

Looks like a clean and practical solution for small event organizers. I like the simplicity and real-time features — sometimes less is more, especially for local events or meetups. Congrats on the launch! 🚀

This product has been a game changer for our local After Prom and multiple local festivals. Selling tickets, collecting needed information is customizable, communication with attendees is smooth and direct, and so user friendly!

As a parent involved in many volunteer organizations, it's so nice to have a platform that takes into account all aspects of running an event and making it so much easier to do!

We used this product to sell tickets for my organization's conference. It worked seamlessly and allowed us to see how many people checked in. It worked flawlessly and all our attendees were much happier with the change.

Love the simplicity of this system! Getting check in and checkout notifications when our teen is at a late event like After Prom was so reassuring. Highly recommend!

The safety first focus backed by the experience with existing platforms is why Ticket Committee stands out and why you should consider a serious consideration for its use.

The Springboro Juneteenth Jubilee used Ticket Committee for the fundraising dinner. This platform is very intuitive and it was easy to keep track of ticket sales and net profits. We downloaded the attendee data so we could see who had dietary restrictions and preferences. We are pleased with the experience and will use Ticket Committee next year.

Love to see a product that truly helps with event planning and parenting! As both, I found this product to be a huge help! No more sending forms and tickets home, only to be forgotten or lost, then dealing with the panicked day-of-the-event emails, calls, Facebook posts, and texts! The efficiency of not only the digital ticket and waiver that needed to be signed, but also the ability to send that waiver directly to the parent as well as sending a notification to the parent when their student checked in and out of the event. If the waiver was not signed, it could quickly be resent from the event to the parent.Ticket Committee provides the automation needed for ticketing and communications while reducing the workload of the volunteers and the planning committee, while providing important safety information to parents! It's a win-win-win program!

Congrats on the launch @retty_software
