Ticket Fees Are
Costing You Sales.
And You Get The Blame.

A ten dollar ticket becomes thirteen at checkout and the guest does not blame the platform, they blame you. Meanwhile the platform keeps your customer list, controls your pricing page and takes a cut of every seat. We build ticketing that you own, where the price on the page is the price at checkout.

We built exactly this for a live concert. The fee line reads No fees.

What A Ticketing Platform
Actually Costs You.

Fees Kill Conversion

Service, processing and delivery fees can add twenty to thirty percent. People abandon at checkout and you never find out how many.

They Own Your Guests

The list of everyone who came to your event lives on their servers, and getting a usable copy of it is deliberately difficult.

You Blame Them, Guests Blame You

The fee appears under your event name. As far as the customer is concerned, that is your price and your decision.

A Cut Of Every Seat, Forever

It is not a one time cost. It applies to this event and every event after it, for as long as you keep using them.

The Fee Line

The number on the poster is the number on the card statement. No service fee, no processing fee, no delivery fee invented at the last screen. Buyers who have been burned by a checkout that grew twenty percent between the event page and the receipt notice this immediately, and it is the difference between an abandoned cart and a sale.

The Event Page

Lineup, gates and show time, venue detail down to which part of the grounds, what is included, and the refund and weather policy in plain language. Everything a guest would otherwise have called to ask.

Entry

The QR code is emailed the second the purchase completes. Guests show it from their phone at the gate and walk straight in, with no app to download and no will call queue.

What The Venue Keeps

Every purchaser, every email, every event they attended. That list is the single most valuable thing an event produces and most venues hand it to a platform without thinking about it.
