Independent venue ticketing
Your revenue. Your bank. Not theirs.
Ticket sales deposit to your Stripe account—not a platform hold. One flat 5% fee, shown clearly at checkout. Your patron list stays with your venue.
Your money, your timeline
Ticket sales go straight to your bank account. No waiting weeks for a platform to release funds you've already earned from sold-out shows.
Flat 5% — nothing hidden
One platform fee. Pass it to patrons as a clear line item or absorb it into your ticket price. No stacked service, processing, or facility fees at checkout.
Your patrons, yours alone
Buyer names and emails belong to your venue. We don't share your attendee list with other venues or sell patron data to marketers.
Fee realism on a $50 ticket
Stacked service fees and default “tips” inflate checkout. One transparent platform line is easier to explain to patrons and your bookkeeper.
| Provider | Patron pays | Platform take | What you should know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eventbrite-style stacks | $55.09 | $5.09 | Service, processing, and facility fees layered at checkout |

| yourboxoffice.net | $52.50 | $2.50 | Flat 5.0% platform fee — pass through or absorb |
