- End-of-season dinners and awards
- Youth coaching festivals

Getting Started
Set up your club on Tickts with your home ground as the venue. Create a season-long event with sub-events for each fixture. This gives fans a single page to see all upcoming matches and buy tickets for any date. Use season passes for committed supporters who attend every match.
Hockey Club Events
Field hockey clubs in the UK have a rich tradition of community engagement beyond match days. Clubs typically run regular league fixtures, host tournaments, organise social events, and run youth development programmes — all of which benefit from structured ticketing.
Match Day Ticketing
Hockey attendance at grassroots level is often modest, but that is changing. England Hockey success and increased media coverage are growing interest. Even with smaller crowds, online ticketing provides valuable benefits:
- Accurate attendance records for club reporting and funding applications
- Contact details for marketing future events and membership drives
- A professional image that helps attract sponsors
- Revenue data that simplifies financial reporting
Tournament Hosting
Hockey clubs regularly host tournaments — from youth festivals to adult tournaments and mixed social events. Create a single tournament event on Tickts with ticket types for spectators (free or paid), participating teams (registration fee), and any social elements (post-tournament dinner, bar packages).
Frequently Asked Questions
Our hockey club has very small crowds — is ticketing worthwhile?
Yes. Free ticketing captures contact details and attendance data with zero cost. As your club grows, you will be glad you started building your database early. Even 20 email addresses from your first ticketed event become a valuable marketing asset.
Can I sell tickets for hockey tours?
Yes. Use Tickts to sell places on club tours. The payment plan feature is particularly useful for expensive tours, letting members spread the cost over several months.
Building Your Hockey Club Events Programme
A strong events programme extends beyond match days and builds the social fabric that keeps members engaged year-round. Consider a calendar that includes pre-season tournaments, mid-season social events, end-of-season awards, and off-season activities like indoor hockey or fitness sessions.
Hockey has a natural social element — the post-match tea tradition, club socials, and tour culture create strong bonds between players. Ticketed events that leverage this social dynamic tend to succeed. An end-of-season awards dinner, for example, can be your highest-revenue event of the year.
For match day promotion, focus on the family-friendly atmosphere of hockey. Weekend matches at local clubs are affordable, community-focused, and welcoming to newcomers. Promote through local schools, community groups, and social media with content that showcases the matchday experience beyond just the sport.
Youth hockey festivals are particularly effective for club growth. Junior tournaments bring families from across the region, introduce new players to your club, and generate goodwill. Even with free spectator entry, the food and drink sales and future membership conversions make them worthwhile.
