Prom night is the biggest event of the year — glamorous outfits, epic dance moves, and memories that last a lifetime. But before the fun starts, one not-so-glamorous task is selling prom tickets. If you’ve ever been on the planning side, you know the struggle — never-ending ticket lines, juggling multiple apps for payments and guest lists, and students swearing they “definitely paid.” It is chaos.
Cheddar Up is here to change that! Our streamlined, digital-first platform transforms selling prom tickets into a foolproof process — enhancing efficiency while safeguarding security.
How to Sell Prom Tickets
Build a Ticket Sales Page That Wows
Customize your Cheddar Up collection for prom tickets with exciting visuals, tiered pricing structures (think early-bird specials, VIP access, and group discounts), and integrated data collection fields to capture guest information and waiver agreements upfront.
Offer Seamless, Mobile-First Payment Options
Cash is practically extinct, and let’s be honest — some students don’t even carry physical credit cards anymore. They expect fast, mobile-friendly payments. With Cheddar Up, students can purchase prom tickets instantly using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit cards — no account required.
Want to set up a ticket table during lunch or after school? Our point-of-sale (POS) feature lets organizers accept payments on-site via tap-to-pay, credit card, or mobile wallets — all using a simple tablet or smartphone.
Ditch the Multiple-Platform Madness
Managing prom tickets often means bouncing between spreadsheets, payment apps, and messaging platforms just to stay organized. With Cheddar Up, everything is in one place — payments, guest lists, and communication tools. Every transaction is recorded in real time, and automated reminders make it easy to communicate with students.
Ensure Only Approved Attendees Get In
Keeping prom exclusive to eligible students is a top priority, and having accurate attendee information helps ensure a smooth event. With Cheddar Up, organizers can require students to enter their student ID numbers or other details when purchasing tickets, helping schools keep track of who is attending. On prom night, organizers can easily pull up a digital guest list to check in students — no more mismatched lists or confusion at the door!
Level Up with Advanced Ticketing & Event Management Tools
For schools that need more than just basic tickets, Cheddar Up’s Team Plan offers a robust suite of advanced features designed to simplify event management and enhance the overall experience. With this plan, you’ll get:
-
QR Code Ticket Scanning
Speed up entry by allowing students to present a QR code on their phone for instant check-in, reducing long lines and ensuring seamless event access.
-
Waitlist Management
If ticket sales reach capacity, create a structured waitlist so students can be notified when spots open up, eliminating confusion and frustration.
-
Robust Custom Page
Centralize all prom-related details, including ticket sales, event FAQs, dress code guidelines, and venue information, in one well-designed page.
-
Multiple Admin Access
Assign specific roles and permissions to different team members, allowing advisors, administrators, or prom committee members to help securely manage ticket sales and reports.
Turn Prom Tickets Into a Success Story
Selling prom tickets shouldn’t feel like cramming for finals. With Cheddar Up, schools can ditch the stress, go cashless, verify every attendee, and track every sale in real time — all without switching between multiple platforms.
