We do a pre-sell 5 for $1 - about two weeks before the event. They are $.25 at the door. Games range in price 1 ticket for the duck pond and lollipop tree to 5 tickets for basketball. Blow-up (Jumpies) range from 3 tickets for the jr jumper to 20 tickets for the rock-wall. We don't make money on this. But, do make money on the food and donated raffle items.
Last year our armbands sold for $10.00 each. This year we will be selling them for $12.00/each. Last year we made over $3,000.00 on wristband sales. They can play all games and use the inflatables as much as they woudl like! Our Carnival is from 11am to 5pm.
We sell a "game pass" for $5.00. They get 20 punches. Most games are 1-2 punches, some are more. I have it so that they can't do every game with the pass. They need to buy another one if they want to do everything! We do cash for food and classroom basket raffle tickets. We also have a silent auction and a grand raffle, which is a $50 gift card to Justice, Target or Gamestop. Good Luck!
This year we pre sold wrist bands for $12. at the door they were $15. we sold tickets for .50cents each, also were able to buy tickets with the wrist band pre sale. Most of the games would take 1 or 2 tickets's. Wrist band allowed kids in ALL of the bounce house's for as long as we were open! Free's up a lot of time instead of having everyone wait in line to buy wrist bands and ticket's. Our carnival is always a hugs success each year. The kids just love it. We use to have it at the end of the year but last year and this year we did it in Sept. and folks seem to like it better then instead of at the end of the year when teacher's are trying to wrap things up! Good luck!
We do 25¢ a ticket and throughout the year we also give free tickets in exchange for box tops - 20 box tops - 20 carnival tickets at the door. It goes over really well, we don't bank on money from the tickets, but the silent auction to profit from.
