Event organizers and promoters: sell the night, own the list, keep the gate.

Yes — an event organizer or promoter can list and sell shows on their own website at a flat $1 per paid ticket (free events are free), run multi-tier tickets and door check-in, and keep every attendee in their own CRM and mailing list, instead of handing the gate and the audience to a marketplace.

Promoting is a business of repeat audiences. The platform that sells your tickets usually keeps a slice of the gate and, more importantly, the list of who came — so you pay to reach them again next time.

Key takeaways

  • Sell from your own site at a flat $1 per paid ticket; free events cost nothing.
  • Multi-tier tickets, waitlists, and door check-in on the Stage tier.
  • Every buyer joins your CRM and newsletter — the audience is yours.
  • Website, ticketing, and CRM in one place. Tmbr Stage is $199/month, two months free annually.

What does a flat fee change for a promoter?

On a percentage model, every sold-out night quietly hands a slice of the gate to the platform. At a flat $1 per paid ticket, the fee is the same whether a ticket is $15 or $150 — so the bigger the night, the bigger the difference you keep. Free events cost nothing.

Who owns the audience?

This is the part that compounds. On a marketplace, the ticket buyer is the platform''s contact. On Tmbr, every buyer becomes a record in your CRM and a name on your mailing list, so the next show is an email you own, not an ad you rent.

Tmbr Stage: $199/month Multi-tier ticketing at a flat $1 per paid ticket, waitlists, door check-in, a website, and a CRM that keeps every attendee. Free events are free. Two months free annually.
