# Jump house ticketing system or bounce house rental software?

By Rotomal team · Updated 2026-10-29 · Part of [Bounce Desk](https://rotomal.com/party-rental-booking/)

**Short answer:** 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.

## FAQ

### 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.
