Charters run on events but have no box office and no one to staff one. Gather is the box office: sell tickets, reserve seats, scan people in at the door, and watch the money land in your account.
Three apps, a clipboard, and a spreadsheet that never quite reconciles. There’s a calmer way.
A parent stands at the door with a printed list and a highlighter. Cash goes in a box. The volunteer sign-up is a group text. And the money shows up… eventually, minus a cut you never see.
Families buy from their phone and choose their own seats. A volunteer scans them in at the door. Money lands in your account the same day — minus nothing but the card fee. One screen shows you exactly where the night stands.
GA, reserved, VIP, early-bird, season passes. Sell out one night or run a whole season from one page.
Build a seat map once and let families pick their own. The same engine already seats a 600-guest gala.
Parents buy and choose seats from their phone in under a minute. No accounts, no friction, no calls to the office.
Any volunteer with a phone scans people in. No special app, no training, no clipboard, no bottleneck.
Fill the ticket table, the bake sale, the cleanup crew — with automatic reminders so no slot goes empty.
Spirit wear, programs, concessions, product fundraisers — same checkout, same dashboard, same payout.
Every buyer, every volunteer, every donor flows into one shared contact record in Connect — so next week, Reach can thank them, invite them, or ask them back. The event isn’t the end of the relationship. It’s the start of one.
No will-call line. No cash box. No parent volunteer counting twenties at halftime. The student section, the grandparents, the neighbors who just heard about it — one link, one tap, scanned at the gate. The energy is the school’s. The logistics are Gather’s.
The per-ticket fee a marketplace skims is real money. On your own box office, it stays with the school.
Sell the program ad, the banner, the booth, the “presented by.” Gather puts a price tag on attention you already have.
Concessions, spirit wear, and product fundraisers run through the same checkout — turning every event into a storefront.
Charters carry a big school’s event load with a tiny school’s staff — and families judge the whole place by how the night feels.
Gather takes the logistics off one exhausted volunteer so the night can be about the people in the room.
Runs the showcase, the fundraiser, and the game night — usually in the same week, usually alone. Gather gives them a box office and a door team without a single new hire.
The gala, the golf tournament, the donor dinner. Reserved seating, tiered tickets, and sponsor add-ons that used to take a spreadsheet and a prayer.
Season passes, gate sales, concessions, and spirit wear — one link, one dashboard, money home the same day.
Bring a real event you’ve got coming up. We’ll set it up live in about twenty minutes — tickets, seats, check-in and all — and you’ll see exactly what your families would see.
