we got tired of paying 10% to list our own events
So we built tired. Organizers pay nothing to list or sell. Buyers pay the lowest fee in the industry. The difference shows up in attendance, in margin, and in how the night actually feels. That is the whole thesis.
the thesis
If a platform takes 10% of the door, the organizer is working three Saturdays a year for the platform.
If a platform takes $4 of a $28 ticket, the buyer is funding a VC round that has nothing to do with the show they are trying to get into.
Our bet is that neither of those is necessary in 2026. The rails are cheap. The card networks are cheap. The only reason fees stayed expensive was that the incumbents could.
We cannot.
what we believe
four rules, forever.
organizers get 0%
Ticketing platforms used to be plumbing. Somewhere along the way they started taking 10, 15, 27 percent of someone else's show. We think the plumbing should cost what plumbing costs.
buyers get the real price
The number on the event page is the number we charge your card. No "service fee," "processing fee," and "facility fee" shell game added on the last screen.
the roster is yours
Your attendee list exports to CSV with one click. We do not sell it, remarket against it, or gate it behind a higher tier. It was yours on day one.
discovery is earned
No promoted listings. You cannot pay to outrank someone else's event. Search is relevance and recency. Your marketing is your marketing.

Payments, scanner, scale
A small team working on the parts you notice when they fail: the checkout that does not stutter, the door scanner that works with bad reception, the payout that lands when we said it would.
