MainGate for Christmas & Holiday Events

Christmas light shows, Santa visits, holiday markets, train rides and ice rinks all sell the same way: families pick a night, choose adult and child tickets, and add the extras. With MainGate they do it right on your own website, on a simple calendar, in a few taps on their phone. No long unbranded page, no separate cart.

Sell special-price nights (like early-season "Super Saver" nights) only on the dates you choose, plus express passes, ice skating, carriage rides and parking on the same order. Families check in with one scan at the gate. It costs you nothing, guests pay just $1.00 per ticket, and the money goes straight to your own Stripe account as you sell.

Already selling this season somewhere else? You don't have to wait for next year. We'll set up your remaining dates and bring the tickets you've already sold over, so your gate runs on one scanner app.
