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.

Ice rink sessions and skating classes shouldn't come with a platform fee per skater.

Public skating sessions, learn-to-skate programs, and rink rentals run on recurring schedules with timed-entry capacity. Per-skater platform fees on every session admission and every class registration add up to real money. Equaticket charges a flat subscription: one predictable cost for your whole program.

The problem

Per-session fees compound across every skater, every day

An ice rink running 1,200 session admissions per month at $18 average is handing Eventbrite $2,160 a month ($25,000 or more a year) just for online ticket processing. That's skate rental income, that's blade sharpening revenue, that's concession money all going to a platform.

Ice rinks operate on session-based recurring revenue. Equaticket's flat subscription is built for exactly this model. Pay once per month and let every session admission stay where it belongs.

How it works

How Equaticket works for ice rinks

Timed skating sessions.

Sell admission by session with capacity per time window. Public skate, hockey skate, figure skate, toddler time: each session gets its own capacity and its own check-in flow.

Recurring class scheduling.

Create your learn-to-skate program once and publish every class date in the series. Each class gets its own registration page with individual capacity. Paid plans handle unlimited recurring series.

Promo codes for birthday parties and groups.

Issue discount codes for birthday party bookings, school groups, and hockey team packages. Set usage limits and expiration dates, included on paid plans.

Embed on your rink website.

Keep session booking on your rink's own website. The Equaticket embed handles session selection and checkout without sending customers to a third-party marketplace.

Skater data for class re-enrollment.

Every ticket buyer is in your audience dashboard. Export your skater list to market the next session level, holiday events, and public skate specials to people already coming to your rink.
