Ticketing software for events, hire and service bookings

Chobble Tickets handles ticketed events, repeating sessions, day-based hire, payment collections and bookings that need deposits or delivery records. Managed hosting has the same flat price across these uses.

Organisers using it now

The same software runs very different businesses. Tom Butterworth Gardening and Education sells places on gardening workshops, Chalkie's School for Dogs sells dog training classes, and Crumpsall Folk Club sells monthly club nights with a raffle. Each runs from its own domain, and the examples page shows their sites beside Chobble's demos for arts workshops, skip hire and a play centre.

Choosing the right page

Each page below sets out how one kind of organiser would set Chobble Tickets up and which features it relies on, and most include a screenshot of that setup. Most setups come down to three listing types: a standard listing for one date, a daily listing where the customer picks a date, and a multi-day hire that holds stock across several days.

What it does not cover

Chobble Tickets has no seating plans and no event marketplace, so it does not suit a venue selling named seats or an organiser relying on a platform to find new customers.
