Hi Sarah,
Check out Appointlet. It's what we decided to use since we also had no budget, and the need to begin scheduling museum house visits. The guest can self-schedule using a link we place on our web site. You set it up to have whatever duration time slot you prefer, whatever time range you want. We do have a fee so they  just pay when they get here. What I love is that it auto-populates our shared google calendar with the chosen date/time and booking party. You can also download the contacts to an excel sheet so we're able to add them to our email list. There's no "ticket", but we have only the free version. Not sure what a paid version might offer. 

The home page mentions it as a meeting scheduler, but it's been just what we need with our small house museum.

Hello everyone!

I searched the Archive for posts on this topic but didn't find much outside of a Cuseum webinar announcement so I hope I'm not asking for something that's already been discussed. 

We're a university art museum that is currently open only to campus audiences. We're hoping to reopen to the public when the students leave at the end of the semester (which is early this year). We will need to do timed tickets and are looking at platforms. Cost is an issue and we'd like to keep it free or very low cost. We don't charge admission. Eventbrite keeps rising to the top but I'm wondering if there's something else out there. We use Calendly to schedule some of our school tour programs but it doesn't seem quite right for this. 

I'm hoping the education brain trust might have some ideas. Thanks in advance!

Sarah
