Built for programmes that screen regularly
Ticketlab suits volunteer-led and independent film programmes: the kind that pack village halls, museums, and indie venues night after night.
- Film clubs & societies: membership audiences, seasonal programmes, guest speakers
- Community cinemas: village halls, arts centres, pop-ups
- Museum & venue series: high-frequency slots, archives, special screenings
- Film festivals & one-offs: multi-session events without enterprise software

Questions from film organisers
Do I need a film screening licence as well as Ticketlab?
Yes. To charge for a public screening in the UK you typically need the right copyright licence (for many titles, a Single Title Screening Licence via Filmbankmedia or equivalent). Ticketlab handles ticketing and payments, not film rights. See our guide to starting a film club.
Can I sell tickets for a whole season?
Yes. Create events per screening or use series-style listings where available; same low-fee model.
Is Ticketlab a cinema booking system for multiplexes?
No. We are event ticketing for organisers (film clubs, community cinemas, museums, festivals), not a chain cinema POS.
What does it cost to list?
Free to create and list. Guests pay a booking fee (or you can absorb it where the product allows).
