Sports ticketing
Sporting event ticketing for teams, tournaments and leagues
From youth leagues to professional tournaments, TixSimple makes it easy to sell tickets online, assign seats or sections, and scan fans at every gate.
How this type of ticketing works
Sports events often repeat weekly or span a tournament bracket. TixSimple lets you create a single event per game or a recurring season ticket event. Fans buy online, choose general admission or a reserved section, and receive a QR ticket.
For tournaments, you can create sessions for each round and update the schedule as brackets advance. The scanner app works at every gate and records attendance so you can report numbers to sponsors or the league.
