For a decade, TakeYourSeats.ie has been the quiet partner behind school shows, concerts, and community performances across Ireland. From first rehearsal to final curtain, we make the experience simple for school teams and delightful for families—handling everything from online ticketing and donations to on‑the‑night front‑of‑house.
A long‑standing partnership with Belvedere College
Since 2015, we’ve supported Belvedere College’s calendar of school and parent events, including activity in the O’Reilly Theatre. Our role covers the full box‑office setup, seating plans, customer service, comp and guest allocations, scanning, and front‑of‑house support—so the school can focus on what matters most: the students on stage and the audience in their seats.
Supporting Griffith Barracks Multidenominational School
Every year, we manage ticketing for Griffith Barracks Multidenominational School’s annual 6th class play. Alongside tickets, we also collect donations, making it effortless for families and the wider school community to contribute to school initiatives while they book their seats.
Experience across dance, music, and ballet schools
We’ve managed bookings and ticketing for multiple dance, music, and ballet schools over the years. Whether it’s a one‑night showcase or a multi‑night run with reserved seating, we tailor the flow to your audience—from parent‑friendly booking journeys to precise seat maps, timed entry, and backstage guest lists.
Other schools and organisations we’ve worked with
Our work extends to a wide range of schools and performing arts groups, including:
Dublin Stage School
Irish National Youth Ballet
Coláiste Bhaile Chláir
Jill O’Neill School of Dance
Eclipse Stage School
Baboró International Arts Festival for Children
