How to grow your payments app with music venues and comedy clubs

Small music venues and comedy clubs sell tickets online and on the door, take lots of bar payments on busy nights, and pay bands, comedians and promoters after each show. Many still juggle cash on the door, a separate ticket site and bank transfers to performers. A payments app that sells tickets by link, takes fast bar payments and makes paying performers simple can win these venues, and every audience member and performer who uses it sees your app.

Sell tickets by link
A ticket link shared by the venue and the performers lets fans pay ahead, so the venue knows how many are coming.

Pay performers quickly
Paying a band or comedian straight after the show, with a clear record of what was paid, builds goodwill and brings performers back.
Grow through the scene
Performers play many venues, and venues share audiences and promoters. One venue on your app can introduce performers, promoters and other venues.
