Timed-entry & class booking is coming soon. We're polishing this feature and it isn't open for new setup just yet. You can still run single events and recurring event series on Equaticket today, with the same flat subscription and no per-ticket platform fees.

Haunted houses sell a lot of tickets in a short window. Platform fees shouldn't haunt your October margins.

Haunted attractions do most of their annual revenue in 6 to 8 weeks. Per-ticket fees at that volume and pace are one of the worst deals in the events business. Equaticket charges a flat subscription. Your busiest season doesn't cost more than your slow one.

The problem

Eight weeks of peak season, a year's worth of platform fees

A haunted attraction selling 8,000 tickets over six weeks at $22 average is looking at $26,540 in Eventbrite fees for the season. That's before a single costume, a fog machine, or an actor paycheck. TicketSpice at $0.99/ticket still adds up to nearly $8,000.

Haunted attractions are labor-intensive, prop-heavy productions that run on thin margins. Equaticket is on a mission to end per-ticket fees so that revenue goes into making the experience scarier, not into a platform's quarterly report.

How it works

How Equaticket works for haunted attractions

Timed-entry session management.

Sell entry by time window with capacity per slot. Spread your crowd across the night instead of sending everyone in at once. Slots close when full. No manual management required.

VIP and skip-the-line tiers.

General admission, fast-pass, VIP group packages. Set up every tier with individual pricing and capacity. No Equaticket fees attached to any of them.

Fast gate scanning.

QR scanning with multi-device sync handles the October rush. Multiple staff scanning at the entrance simultaneously, all seeing the same live count in real time.

Promo codes for groups and sponsors.

Issue discount codes for school groups, corporate teams, and radio station promotions. Set usage limits and expiration dates, included on every paid plan.

Your guest list for next season.

Every ticket buyer is in your audience dashboard. Export your list and start your advance sale marketing campaign for next October with people who've already proven they'll come.
