Your school recital, without a seating list written in pen

Organise your dance recital: tickets, numbered seats and entry

The end-of-year recital is the night the whole school goes on stage and every family wants a good seat. It is usually run with a list on a sheet of paper, cash at the front desk and names checked at the door. Here the recital is an event with its own page: families buy online, choose their seat on the floor plan of the hall and show a QR code at the door.

An event built for the recital

In the creation flow you pick the «Recital» type: it only asks for what you need to sell tickets to the public, no competitions or rankings.

Only the sections you need

Dates, venue, poster, tickets and payment. The recital can be published once at least one ticket tier is on sale.

The programme on the page

Running order, times and information for families: publish them as PDF documents or as event pages that everyone can see.

On your school website

The recital page can be embedded in the school website with a ready-to-copy snippet, and shared on WhatsApp with poster and title.

Two nights, two events

If the recital runs twice, each night is an event with its own hall and tickets. You create the second by cloning the first: floor plan and tiers are already there.

Managing recital tickets

Two ways to sell, depending on the hall: numbered seats or general admission.

Floor plan of the hall

Draw sections, rows and seats as they really are; buyers choose theirs on the map, and a seat that is taken can no longer be chosen.

Seats together, automatically

A family buying four tickets can let the platform assign four seats next to each other, towards the stage and in the centre.

Or by capacity

If the hall has no numbered seats you sell price tiers — full price, reduced, children — until they run out, and the page shows how many tickets are left.

Named tickets

Every ticket carries the name of the person coming in; the PDF with the QR code is emailed to the buyer and, if they have an address, to the ticket holder too.

Recital night, and after

At the door a QR code is scanned instead of a name being searched for on a list.

QR at the door

Staff scan tickets with a phone or tablet, even across several doors at once, and anyone who has already come in is flagged.

Takings already counted

Every payment has its own non-tax receipt and ends up in a summary you can export to Excel: no cash to count again at the front desk.

Photos and videos after the show

The photographer uploads photos and videos to a watermarked gallery, and families buy the originals from the recital page.

Everyone in their role

Door staff get the entry role, managers their own: everyone signs in with their own account.

The rest of the platform

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell recital tickets with numbered seats?
Yes. Choose floor-plan sales, draw the hall with sections, rows and seats, and buyers pick their seat on the map. If the hall has no numbered seats, sell by capacity with price tiers.
Do families need to register to buy?
Yes: buying tickets requires an account, so tickets and receipts stay tied to a person and can be found in their personal area.
Does DanceMatik handle music licensing for the recital?
No. DanceMatik is not a certified automated box office and does not deal with licensing bodies: permits, music rights and tax obligations stay with the organiser. Check with your adviser what your recital needs.
Can the recital run over two nights?
Yes, as two events: each night has its own hall and tickets. Create the first one and clone it for the second, with floor plan and tiers already set.
How much does it cost?
Publishing the recital is free. Tickets sold carry a commission, which you can absorb or pass on to the buyer.
