Chobble Tickets vs Parentkind
Parentkind is popular with schools and PTAs, so here's how Chobble Tickets compares for school event ticketing.
Different Focus
Parentkind is a membership organisation for PTAs that includes ticketing as one of several tools, designed specifically for the school fundraising context with features like Gift Aid declarations and PTA management.
Chobble Tickets is a general-purpose ticketing platform that doesn't have school-specific features like Gift Aid, but it's simpler, cheaper, and gives you more control over your data.
Pricing
Parentkind charges membership fees plus transaction fees on ticket sales, whereas Chobble Tickets is a flat £25/year for community groups (with the 50% charity discount), so if you just need ticketing without the full PTA membership package it's more affordable.
When Parentkind Might Be Better
If you're a PTA that needs the full suite of Parentkind tools - Gift Aid, insurance, templates, PTA management guides - then Parentkind makes sense as a bundled package, but if you just need simple, affordable ticketing for school events then Chobble Tickets is worth a look.
