HouseLights

Theater-first ticketing for school productions & community theaters

Run the house.
Not the workarounds.

General admission ticketing you can publish yourself, reserved seating drafts you can rehearse safely, and guided setup when the seat map needs review.

Best fit: 150–1,200 seat houses · 4–20 productions a year · lean teams, real lobby pressure.

One product. Two motions.

Built for how your season actually runs.

School productions

The drama teacher selling tickets between rehearsal and third period.

  • GA ticketing ready to publish without a sales call
  • Reserved seating drafts reviewed with HouseLights
  • A ticket link parents can use — no app, no training
  • Run the door from your phone on show night

Community theaters

The team managing a 12-show season with 3 staff and 40 volunteers.

  • Season passes, memberships, and presale windows
  • Donations asked during checkout — not chased after
  • Box office mode built for opening-night calm
  • Patron records that survive staff turnover

What the system holds together

Three surfaces that decide whether the house feels calm or duct‑taped.

  1. Checkout that sells the seat and captures the relationship

    GA checkout, memberships, presales, and donor asks in one branded flow. Reserved and hybrid seating go through guided setup before public sales.

  2. Lobby mode built for real show nights

    Scanning, comps, exchanges, walk-up sales, and seat moves — all on mobile. Volunteers can work the door. The line keeps moving when the house opens.

  3. Patron memory across attendance, giving, and households

    Not a prettier receipt. A record that connects who came, who gave, which household they belong to, and what matters next season.

Simple pricing

$1 per ticket. That's it.

No monthly fee. No per-event fee. No platform percentage. Patrons pay the $1 service fee at checkout — your organization keeps 100% of ticket revenue and donations.

  • Free to set up and run your first event
  • Unlimited events, unlimited staff accounts
  • Payouts via Stripe — funds hit your account in 2 days
  • No contracts, cancel anytime

Step into the Rehearsal Room before you create an account.

Practice here. Nothing goes live until you publish. Build a draft seat map, preview checkout, then sign up when you are ready to launch a GA show or request guided reserved setup.
