Hometown is skilled in athletic ticketing, but BookTix excels as an all-encompassing ticketing system, with some of the lowest fees in the industry.

Learn why BookTix is the right choice for K-12 arts and athletics programs, competitive dance studios, non-profit community theatres, and collegiate box offices.
Though Hometown offers a system that works for athletics, if you want to receive payments via check, you’re out of luck. BookTix offers a variety of payout options so you can choose what works best for you. From check payment, early payouts, and ACH/epayments, to the option to set up Stripe Connect and receive Direct Deposit payouts on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis; BookTix allows you to choose the best option for your organization.
With a primary focus on athletics, Hometown is popular in the sports ticketing world. BookTix works for athletics, but also offers so much more. Expand out from just game-day tickets with a system that offers concession sales, season packages, cart upsells, sponsorships, fundraising, and so much more. Our team at BookTix offers a well-rounded approach to the ticketing world, with experienced customer support staff and features that take you beyond the gate.
When it comes to your budget, Hometown offers specific features in their system at their base rate, but BookTix has a wider variety of features, while also maintaining lower fees. If competitive fees are important to you, BookTix focuses on keeping fees low (or free if you pass on to your customers using our flex fee), while also offering all of our advanced features at no additional cost.
Hometown offers customer support that prioritizes large companies, but can leave smaller organizations feeling overlooked. At BookTix, no organization is too small. We’re dedicated to serving companies of every size, from a one-man show, to entire school districts. BookTix provides easy-to-access and responsive support through multiple channels including phone, email, and chat, with fast response times for all our clients because everyone deserves exceptional support. Whether you’re just starting out or well-established, BookTix scales to meet your needs and treats every customer with the same level of care and attention.
While Hometown offers a ticketing system tailored to athletics, BookTix expands beyond the basics with robust organizational tools. Our Departments feature helps you segment and control all areas of your account, be it Athletics, Music, Drama or a different account for each team: Soccer, Basketball, Track, Football, etc. In BookTix, you can separate events by department, track finances independently, and tailor admin access accordingly, all from within one cohesive account.
Athletic ticketing should be able to handle the simple and advanced challenges alike. Hometown can work for basic needs, but BookTix fits all types of uses, even complicated needs in athletics. The ability to integrate not only athletics, but other school departments, is crucial for an all inclusive ticketing platform and the flexible fees keep costs low to ensure money stays where it belongs.
Keep parents and administrators equally happy with BookTix.
