School Event Tickets for Admission, Dances, and Fundraisers

Start with the event’s job for the ticket

Use the ticket first as an admission record, then decide what else it needs to do. A school dance, theater performance, awards night, game, fundraiser, or club event may need the event name, date, location, and an individual number. If a portion needs to be collected at the door or retained by the buyer, choose a stub format before settling on the design.

Premium Event Tickets are a strong fit when the ticket is part of the presentation for a formal dance, performance, graduation-related event, or other school occasion with a polished visual direction. They are available in Premium Reg 2 x 5.25, Premium Large 2.75 x 6, and Premium X-Large 2.75 x 8.5, with either one stub or no stubs. For a broad school program that benefits from an economy format or needs more detachable sections, compare Economy Event Tickets instead.

• Choose one stub when a door or organizer copy is useful alongside the guest portion.
• Choose no stubs when the whole ticket stays with the attendee or is collected at entry.
• Choose Economy Event Tickets when the plan calls for one, two, or three stubs; that family also offers a no-stub option.
• Use a ticket size that leaves room for the event details your audience needs to see.

Choose between Premium and Economy Event Tickets

Both ticket families offer two-sided printing, so the front can focus on admission and the reverse can carry supporting event information. Premium Event Tickets have School Events and Proms among their available design purposes, while Economy Event Tickets are positioned for school and nonprofit use and include event, fundraiser, sports, and festival purposes. This makes the choice less about a single school-event label and more about the format the event team needs.

For a prom, formal, homecoming-style dance, or themed school celebration, begin with Premium Event Tickets and the Prom Tickets theme page. For a high-volume school event where multiple detachable sections help the check-in or recordkeeping plan, begin with Economy Event Tickets. The available Economy sizes are Economy Reg 2.125 x 5.5, Economy Large 2.75 x 5.5, Economy X-Large 2.75 x 8.5, and Economy XX-Large 3.625 x 8.5.

• Premium Event Tickets: three size options; one stub or no stubs.
• Economy Event Tickets: four size options; one, two, three, or no stubs.
• Prom planning: browse Prom Tickets for a school-dance-specific starting point.
• General ticket browsing: use the Premium or Economy catalog filters to review the currently available designs.

Build the information into the ticket before you browse designs

Prepare the information that must appear before choosing a template: school or organization name, event title, date, venue or location, start time, admission wording, and any ticket number or stub text your workflow calls for. Separating the must-have information from optional theme language helps keep the ticket focused and lets the selected size and stub configuration do the practical work.

If the event needs a name or visual direction, use the Party Themes page and Party & Dance Names list as planning resources rather than filling a ticket with unrelated decoration. A formal can begin with the Prom Tickets theme page; a broader school dance can use a theme or name as the organizing idea and then carry that wording consistently across tickets and promotion pieces.

• Admission wording: make clear what the ticket is for.
• Event essentials: include the title, date, time, and location your guests need.
• Check-in details: decide whether a sequential number and detachable stub support the team’s process.
• Theme direction: select a single theme or event name before coordinating supporting materials.

Add supporting pieces only where they solve a real event need

Tickets handle admission; other printed pieces can support a different stage of the event. Flyers have School Events among their available purposes and are available in a Premium Flyer 8.5 x 11 format with two sides. Posters & Banners also include School Events among their available purposes. Use either when the goal is to announce the event or share details away from the entry point.

For a separate attendee identifier, Wristbands are available as a one-sided Large 1 x 10 product and can be numbered. Their Tyvek and vinyl options use tamper-proof adhesive closures. Invitations have School Events among their available purposes and are available as two-sided 5 x 7 invitations, making them a separate option when the communication is an invitation rather than an admission ticket.

• Flyers: event announcement and handout material.
• Posters & Banners: event visibility and announcements.
• Wristbands: a separate numbered attendee-identification option.
• Invitations: a 5 x 7 option for school-event invitations.
