Your audience already pays it — often 10–15% on top — and on the dates you promote yourself it goes to a ticketing company, not to you. Run your own box office on your own site and that fee stops going to a platform: the money lands in your bank the moment they buy, and you own every sale.
But the ticket is only the start. The same website runs your door, your mailing list, your merch and the whole room on a show night. Put your numbers in, then see the rest.
That is what a ticketing company takes off you — run your own box office and it stops.
On your own box office that fee stops going to a ticketing company. Card processing uses Stripe's published rate for a standard UK card, 1.5% + 20p, paid by you straight to Stripe — it never passes through us. Big-platform cuts vary from act to act, so treat the yearly figure as a close estimate rather than a promise.
Most acts end up with a website in one place, tickets somewhere else, a mailing list they can't reach and a clipboard on the door. This is one system where the tour dates, the box office, the door, the audience and the merch all know about each other — in your own artwork, under your own name.
On the dates you promote, people buy on your site and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through your own Stripe account. Money lands in your bank, not somebody's payout schedule.
Where a venue or promoter sells the ticket, nothing changes. We put their link on your page so your audience still sees one tidy list of every date.
Tees, mugs, signed photos. Same checkout, same Stripe account, and the money's yours — straight into your bank.
Add a date and it appears everywhere at once — the site, the gig pages, the what's-on list. Change a time and nobody's looking at the old one.
The domain, the customer records, the mailing list, the artwork. During the term and after it. One click exports the lot.
We lift your existing site across — whatever it's built on — bring your past ticket buyers in, and keep your old links working so nothing breaks.
A proper website in your own artwork — your story, your videos, a photo gallery, your reviews and a bookings page for corporate and wedding enquiries. The ticket is only part of it.
A single QR code on a stand turns every phone in the room into part of the act. Shout-outs, song requests, dedications, photos, votes — it all comes to you, and you decide what lands on the screens. Built with real crowds in mind, so it still works when people have had a few.
Birthdays, hen dos, "my mate's never been" — fans send them from their phone. You pick which ones go up, and they appear on the room's TVs over your own backdrop, then fade away. Nothing takes over your laptop.
You moderate every oneOpen a vote and the room picks the next song on their phones. Live tally, you call it when you're ready. Requests and dedications queue up quietly for you to work in.
Live tally, you decideFans upload the photos from their night out. You approve each one before it shows — nothing appears without your say-so — and the best of them build a gallery that sells the next show for you.
Approve before it showsPut members of the crowd on the spot and let the room score each one out of ten from their phones. Live leaderboard, winner revealed on the night — your own talent segment with no kit to carry.
Scores from every phoneAn optional "buy the act a drink" button on the thank-you page, in your own words and your own cheeky price ladder. Every tap is a thank-you that goes straight to your Stripe account.
Your words, your prices"What do you want to see next?" A quiet suggestion box collects it all in one place, so the people who turn up help shape where the show goes.
Straight from the fansFans drop their town on a map and watch it fill in. You get to see exactly where your crowd is — so you know which towns will fill a room before you book the tour.
Your audience, mappedLittle browser games with your name on them, and a leaderboard — a reason for fans to come back to your site between shows, and for their mates to find it.
They keep coming backI had no signal outside the venue, so I could not pull my tickets up. They waved me straight in. I got upstairs, found a signal, screenshotted the tickets — then walked past two people on the theatre doors who never asked to see them either.

A printed list does not survive a busy foyer, and an app that needs a signal is no use in a building with thick walls. So the scanner works on any phone, with no app, and keeps working when the signal goes.
| At the door | Printed list | Your own scanner |
|---|---|---|
| Finding a name | Eyes down a page | Instant |
| Same ticket used twice | Nobody spots it | Flagged |
| No phone signal | Fine | Fine — works offline |
| Two people on the door | Two lists, out of sync | Both live |
| Knowing who turned up | Guesswork | Counted |
| Cost per extra scanner | — | Nothing |
The scanner can greet your most loyal fans by name. As you scan someone in, their phone can say the name out loud and show whoever's on the door who they are and why they matter — a different chime for your top tier, so they get welcomed like a regular, not waved through like a stranger. Your biggest supporters feel it the moment they arrive.
Fans climb the tiers by turning up, bringing people and joining in — and it all runs itself. No clipboard, no guesswork about who's in the room.
No QR on them? Check anyone in by name instead — the search and the scanner share the same count, so two people on the door never double someone in. Need to shift a party to another date? Move their tickets across and their existing codes still scan.
Everyone who buys direct or joins in on the night lands on a mailing list you own, tagged by town — not locked inside a platform you rent. Then the website keeps the relationship warm for you, mostly while you sleep.
Write it, attach the poster, pick who gets it — everyone, or just the towns near a venue. Opens and clicks recorded, consent handled to UK GDPR rules, all from your own admin.
Playing Leeds? Email Leeds. Every contact is tagged by where they are, so you fill a room without bothering the whole country.
As a date nears, the site lines up the people who were invited but haven't booked, and nudges just them — once. It appears on its own and clears itself after.
Turning up, bringing friends and joining in quietly moves fans up the tiers — the same ones the door greets. Loyalty you can see, without anyone filling in a form.
Moved from another site? A friendly "here from the old site? update your details" prompt brings your past audience across and tidies their record — no duplicates, no re-asking.
A card from you lands in a fan's inbox on their birthday — your artwork, a line in your voice, sent on its own. You supply the picture once; the site does the rest, every year.
The day after a show, everyone who was there gets a "thanks for coming" from you with a quick star rating and a line. The good ones build a reviews page that sells the next date — and it all sends itself.
People on a phone, a few drinks in, mistype emails and type daft names. The sign-up checks the address and quietly drops the obvious fakes — so the list you email stays clean and your confirmations actually arrive.
One dashboard, in plain English: what you've taken, who turned up, and — the part most acts never get — which emails actually sold the tickets. Private, fast analytics that respect your fans and never hand your audience to anyone else.
Everything you've taken in one place, by show and over time — so you walk out of a venue knowing exactly how the night did.
Every campaign tied to the sales it brought in. Keep doing the ones that work, drop the ones that don't. No guessing.
Scanned-in counts, repeat faces, new fans who joined on the night. The real picture of a room, not a ticket count.
No feature on this page is an upsell, and nothing here is a bolt-on later. The whole thing is built, looked after and kept running for you — so you can get on with the show.
Card processing is paid by you directly to Stripe and does not pass through us. You own the domain, the customer records and the mailing list — during the term and after it.
A screen share at a time that suits you. We will sell a test ticket, scan it on a phone and put a shout-out on the screen in front of you. If it is not clearly worth doing by the end of it, we will say so ourselves.
