TUE 13.01.2026 | Best practice

The fifth season is just around the corner. For presidents, treasurers and the organizing team, this often means pure stress. Why fiddling with Excel lists and cash registers is a thing of the past and how your club can save not only nerves but also money with ditix.

Hand on heart: How does the advance sale for your ceremonial session or the masked ball work so far? Probably the phone of a board member rings constantly in the evening, reservations are noted in notebooks and tickets are deposited for cash at the box office. Not only is this error-prone, but it robs your volunteers of the time they'd rather spend building wagons or training the guards.

Traditional clubs such as the KG Prüm 1881 e.V. the United States Friedberger Carnivals Society or the Fidele Sand hares Oberlar have already dared to take this step. They show how to successfully combine tradition and modernity.

At ceremonial meetings, the choice of seat is sacred. No one wants to sit separately from their group. With the seating plan tool from ditix, you can create tailor-made seating plans in just a few minutes - whether for the Stadthalle Troisdorf or the marquee on Ford-Maddison-Platz. The Fidele Sandhasen Oberlar show the way: Whether at the often completely sold-out "Fidele Mädchensitzung" or the big "Jeck Friday" with 1,800 guests - visitors choose their seats conveniently online. For the club, this means no more discussions at the entrance about who sits where, and smooth admission even with large crowds.

Carnival clubs have to think economically. Many shy away from online ticketing because they fear high fees. ditix turns the tables:

The United Friedberg Carnival Society shows with its own ditix shop how professional volunteering can look like today. Instead of spending hours enveloping cards or comparing lists, advance sales are fully automated via the company's own website. The KG Prüm manages its diverse events – from the hall events in the Karolingerhalle to the new format "Jeck im Zelt" – efficiently and digitally. Thanks to the free ditix scan app, every smartphone becomes a professional scanner at the entrance. This way, the fools get to the warmth faster and directly to the counter.

In contrast to large ticket portals that bombard your visitors with third-party advertising, the ditix ticket shop is all yours. There is no third-party advertising and you retain sovereignty over the buyer data. This is ideal for sending out invitations directly next year for the campaign opening or the start of the pre-sale on 11.11.
