Schools & colleges

Smarter ticketing for schools and colleges.

Little Box Office is a user-friendly event ticketing platform built for schools and colleges managing events across multiple departments. We help you sell tickets, coordinate bookings and deliver a professional experience for parents and visitors, without technical complexity or unnecessary cost.

Struggling to manage events across too many departments and systems?

Most schools and colleges assume they need different tools for different events. A platform for productions, something else for trips, spreadsheets for sports fixtures and open days handled entirely by email.

Even if one system could handle everything, how do you keep performing arts revenue separate from admissions, or sports income away from the development fund?

Little Box Office solves both. One system your ticket buyers see. Complete financial separation your finance team needs.

Why schools choose us.

  • One system for every department: manage productions, trips, open days and more in one place, with a single view across your whole school.
  • Separate funds: keep finances and bank accounts separate by cost centre.
  • Seamless booking for every event: give parents and visitors a clean, online booking experience with your branding.
  • Maximise commercial potential: attract external hirers and turn your spaces into a reliable revenue stream.
  • Support when you need it: phone and email support from people who understand your needs.

Features just for schools.

  • Multi-department structure: separate users, events, reporting and bank accounts per team.
  • Sell anywhere: online, over the phone and in person.
  • Flexible tools: seating plans, timed entry, capacity controls.
  • Branded booking experience: a booking flow that feels like your school, not a third-party platform.
  • Real-time reporting: by department, cost centre or event.
  • Built-in communications: confirmations, reminders and attendee updates included.
  • No hidden costs: no setup fees, no training fees, no long-term contracts.

With broader conversations around public event safety, including legislation such as Martyn’s Law for qualifying venues, many schools are looking to strengthen their approach to visitor management and event-day operations, even where formal requirements may not yet apply.

Integration with EntrySign.

Little Box Office integrates with EntrySign, a visitor management system used by venues to track who is on site and manage arrivals securely.

The integration connects your event bookings directly with EntrySign’s visitor records. So your security team have a clear, live view of who is expected; they can then scan visitors, staff and students from the same system.

EntrySign is a visitor management system used by schools to track who is on site. When integrated with
Little Box Office, booking data from your events flows into EntrySign’s visitor records. This gives your
reception and front-of-house teams a live view of who is expected for each event, supporting smoother
check-in and better safeguarding visibility.
Schools run events that regularly bring external visitors on site, parents, guests, prospective families,
community members. Having a clear view of who is expected, managing arrivals efficiently, and being able
to communicate quickly if plans change is good practice for any school, regardless of whether specific
legislation applies.
