Straightforward fees
We charge a flat 3% per paid ticket, and that's our only fee. Absorb it and you net $19.40 on a $20 ticket, or pass it to buyers as a labeled line and net the full $20. Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) goes to Stripe, shows on the buyer's receipt, and never comes out of your payout.

Tier performance
Open it on your phone five minutes before doors. You'll know what's sold, what's scanned, and which tier needs a push.
What you get
Made for general admission events, from a one-off show to a venue running 30 events a month. Everything from the first ticket sold to the last scan at the door, paid out every week.
Drop in the flyer and set your tiers. Save a draft, connect Stripe, then publish and share your link once the event is ready. Some events need a review first.
Set up early bird, GA and VIPStripe Connect pays you every week, not weeks after the show. Your first payout follows Stripe's standard new-account hold (about 3 weeks).
Your door staff already has scanners in their pockets. Any phone with a camera works, with unlimited door staff and no per-scanner fee.
Send up to 5 announcements per event to buyers who opted in. Event-change updates go out automatically and don't count. Anyone can unsubscribe in one click.
Why we cap blasts at 5Live revenue, how each tier is selling, and who's checked in. All on one dashboard.
Every ticket has a single-use QR, hard capacity limits, and a reservation lock during checkout. The first scan checks it in; any later scan of the same code comes back Already used, across every door phone once they're online.

The same math on both plans
One flat fee, and you choose who covers it. Pass the 3% to buyers at checkout and you net the full face value. Either way, card processing (2.9% + 30¢) shows on the buyer's receipt as its own line and never comes out of your payout. Pro is a flat subscription, not a fee discount.

Competitor details are based on each platform's public pricing pages and can change. Card processing (2.9% + 30¢) applies on every platform. On DIY Stubs, the buyer sees it as its own line at checkout, and it never comes out of your payout.
