Honest ticketing for Texas venues

Most ticketing platforms charge double-digit fees and leave you on hold when something goes wrong. I charge less, and you can reach me directly.

$1.90 on a $20 ticket.

Other platforms commonly charge fans $2.75 to $3.55 on the same ticket.

Why venues choose me

Lower fees, every ticket

On a $20 ticket, other platforms commonly charge your fans $2.75 to $3.55 in fees. I charge $1.90. That difference adds up — and it stays in your community.

Fast, rolling payouts

85% of ticket revenue hits your account within 3 business days of each sale — not weeks after the show. No waiting for a lump sum.

Someone you can reach

When something goes wrong — and sometimes things go wrong — you should be able to talk to a real person who knows your venue. Not a support ticket queue. Not a chatbot. Email me directly.

Texas-operated

Not a San Francisco startup. Not a European platform with a Texas sales rep. I built this, I live in Austin, and I have a stake in the same music scene you do.

See it in action

Transparent pricing for fans, a clear dashboard for you — here's what both sides see.

What fans see at checkout — every fee broken out, nothing buried.

Your dashboard — events, tickets sold, revenue, and your exact fee math.

When a small venue keeps more of what they earn, local artists get paid, local fans get great shows, and more money stays in the community. Every venue on this platform is part of that.
