Everything on a Roll: Economize with Roll Tickets

4/2/2025

Planning events on a budget isn’t easy. Luckily, simple roll tickets offer a practical, affordable option for many occasions.

School Carnivals & Fundraisers

School events rely on volunteer help and tight budgets. Roll tickets work perfectly because:

• Anyone can hand them out without special training
• They’re durable enough for outdoor use
• Different colors help manage various games and activities
• They’re affordable for PTAs working with limited funds

Community Festivals & Street Fairs

Local events with multiple entry points benefit from roll tickets’ simplicity:

• Easy to distribute at various locations
• Quick to hand out when lines form
• Simple for attendees of all ages
• Affordable for community organizations

Food & Drink Tokens

Many events use token systems for refreshments. Roll tickets work great because:

• Vendors can accept them quickly during busy periods
• Different colors can represent different items
• They hold up well in food service environments
• They’re simple to count for vendor payments at the end

Raffles & Door Prizes

Double roll tickets are perfect for raffles:

• The matching numbers create a foolproof system for prize claiming
• Attendees keep one half while you keep the other
• Different colors can represent different prize categories
• People enjoy having a physical ticket while waiting for the drawing

This tangible approach builds excitement and makes prize distribution hassle-free.

The Bottom Line

Roll tickets aren’t just an option for specific events—they’re often the smartest choice. They provide simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness when it matters most.

Sometimes, the tried-and-true approach is precisely what you need to keep your event running smoothly while staying within budget.
