You decide who covers the fees
We understand that every PTA community is different. With PTA Events, you have full flexibility:
- Pass fees on to parents as part of the ticket price
- Absorb the fees within your PTA to keep costs simple for families
- Make the fees voluntary so your community can opt in to pay them
- You can mix and match depending on what works best for each event

Frequently asked questions
Can we pass fees on to parents?
Yes. You can choose whether your PTA or parents cover the fees.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. Our pricing is clear and transparent with no hidden extras.
Do you add tips or donations automatically?
No. We never add default tips at checkout.
Why don’t you offer a ‘free’ model like other platforms?
We believe in being transparent about costs, rather than relying on optional donations from parents which on other platforms can be as much as 17%.
