Jump house ticketing system or bounce house rental software?
Updated · Rotomal
They serve two different businesses. A jump house or trampoline park needs a ticketing system: timed entry slots with capacity limits, ticket categories, vouchers, waivers and scanning at the door. A bounce house rental company delivers inflatables to customers' addresses, so it needs per-unit availability, delivery-zone pricing, deposits, waivers and crew routes. Among venue tools, ProgramChamp lists open play with waivers from $69 a month (checked 29 October 2026), while ROLLER publishes no prices.
Two buyers, two problems
"Jump house" can mean an inflatable bounce house or an indoor trampoline park. JUMP House Berlin, for example, is a trampoline park with more than 120 trampolines. The software each needs is different:
| Trampoline park or play venue | Delivered inflatable rentals | |
|---|---|---|
| What is sold | Timed entry to your building | A unit delivered, set up and collected |
| What runs out | Capacity per time slot | Each unit per date and time window |
| Booking | A ticket per jumper, group or party | A rental per address with a delivery window |
| At the door | Ticket scanning, sometimes turnstiles | A crew day sheet and setup photos |
| Waivers | Per jumper; parents sign for children | The renter, once per booking |
| Money | Tickets, passes, vouchers, parties | Deposit, balance, delivery fee |
What a jump house ticketing system has to do
- Ticket categories such as adult, child, concession and annual pass, sold the same way on every channel.
- Group tickets with minimum and maximum group sizes.
- Vouchers that can be created, sold and redeemed.
- Time-slot tickets with flexible pricing, cancellations and automatic emails to guests.
- Exclusive bookings of the whole venue or one zone.
- Live availability shared by the website, the entrance counter and resellers.
- Entry control: ticket scanning by handheld or phone, and turnstile integration.
- Sales through partners; bookingkit names Google, GetYourGuide and Tripadvisor.
That list comes from bookingkit's checklist for jump houses and trampoline parks. Waivers are not on it; venue tools such as ProgramChamp include them, and waiver-only services sell them separately.
Venue software and waiver prices
| Tool | Listed price (checked 29 October 2026) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| ProgramChamp | From $69 a month for open play and parties; from $29 for parties only; 30-day trial, no card | Timed open play with capacity limits, play packs, waivers with parent accounts, check-in roster, parties with deposits |
| ROLLER | No prices published; plans Lite, Pro, Premium and Enterprise through sales | Venue ticketing platform; waivers carry a "$" marker in its plan table, so ask whether they cost extra |
| Smartwaiver | $22, $60, $160 or $205 a month for up to 100, 300, 1,000 or 2,500 waivers; up to 20% less billed yearly | Digital waivers only |
| WaiverForever | $19, $39 or $129 a month; first 50 submissions included, then from $0.10 per waiver | Digital waivers only |
Card processing is extra. ProgramChamp passes through Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 per card charge and adds no fee of its own.
What bounce house rental software has to do
- Track each inflatable per date and time window, with setup, pickup and cleaning buffers.
- Price delivery by ZIP code or distance band before checkout, with surcharges for stairs or generators.
- Take a deposit and collect the balance before or at the event.
- Get the waiver and rental terms signed during booking.
- Apply a rain-check policy to one booking or a whole day.
- Give each crew a day sheet ordered by stop.
When you need both
A ticketing system has no concept of a delivery address, a trailer or a crew, and rental software has no door to scan tickets at. A business that does both, such as a play venue that also rents inflatables out for parties, needs both feature sets. Check that one tool really covers both before you assume it does, or run a venue tool and a rental tool side by side.
Who Bounce Desk is for
Bounce Desk is rental software for delivered inflatables and party equipment, not a venue ticketing system: it has no timed entry, turnstile integration or memberships. If you run a trampoline park, look at venue tools such as ProgramChamp or ROLLER. If you deliver bounce houses, Bounce Desk covers per-unit availability, delivery zones, deposits, e-signed waivers, weather rules and crew day sheets from $29 a month.
Questions
What is a jumphouse ticketing system?
Software that sells timed entry to a trampoline park or indoor play venue: tickets per jumper and time slot, capacity limits, vouchers, waivers and scanning at the entrance.
Can bounce house rental software sell trampoline park tickets?
Bounce Desk cannot: it has no timed-entry tickets, capacity per slot or door scanning. Rental software is built around delivered units, so check any vendor's venue features before you buy.
How much does trampoline park software cost?
Published prices are rare. ProgramChamp lists open play with waivers from $69 a month, and ROLLER asks you to contact sales. Waiver-only tools have paid plans from $19 a month (WaiverForever, which also advertises a free starter plan) or $22 (Smartwaiver).
Do trampoline parks need a separate waiver system?
Not if the ticketing tool includes waivers, as ProgramChamp's open-play plan does. Otherwise a waiver service such as Smartwaiver or WaiverForever runs alongside ticketing.
