Low-fee ticketing for theatres, performing arts & sporting events

Stop paying a percentage on every ticket you sell.

One flat $0.50 per ticket — paid by the buyer, not your box office. Most platforms take 5% plus up to $0.75 a ticket; that's nearly $3 on a $40 seat. The more you sell, the more you save.

  • Reserved seating, done right
  • Funds direct via Stripe
  • Scans with no signal

50¢ flat, per ticket

Always.

On real theatre prices, a fraction of the cost.

Pricing

The math is the value prop.

Most ticketing platforms take a percentage of every seat. We take a flat fee. On real theatre prices, that's nearly the whole bill.

Percentage-based platforms

The usual model

5% + 75¢

per ticket, and climbing

  • The fee scales with your ticket price — the more your patrons pay, the more the platform takes.
  • Nearly $3 skimmed off a single $40 seat.
  • Funds often held by the platform and paid out on a schedule.

Features

Built for the way theatres actually sell.

Reserved seating, done right

A visual seat map your patrons pick from — sections, price tiers, and accessible seats, with live holds so no seat is ever double-sold.

The money is genuinely yours

Funds settle directly into your own account, and your name — not ours — appears on the patron's card statement. We never hold your money.

Scanning that works when the WiFi doesn't

Check patrons in from any phone. No app, no hardware, no volunteer logins — and it keeps working with no signal at the door, syncing when it returns.

No surprises on payout

Our only charge is the flat $0.50. Standard card processing is passed through at cost — no percentage going to us, no hidden cut, no monthly fee.

Getting started

Live before your next on-sale.

No procurement loop, no contract minimums. A short onboarding and your seating chart is all we need to build your venue.

  1. 01

    A short Stripe onboarding

    Connect your box-office bank account through Stripe Connect. Funds will settle straight to you, with your name on every card statement.

  2. 02

    Send us your seating chart

    We build your venue for you — sections, price tiers, accessible seats, and live holds. You don't touch a spreadsheet.

  3. 03

    Open your on-sale

    Patrons pick seats from a visual map and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. Tickets arrive by email with a scannable QR.

Trust & support

A real human on the other end of every on-sale.

When something goes sideways the night doors open, you don't need a ticket queue. You need someone who can fix it right now.

  • The money is genuinely yours

    Stripe Connect routes each ticket directly to your verified account, with your name on the patron's statement. We never hold your funds.

  • Works when the door does

    An offline-capable scanner, printable PDF fallback, and re-entry support. The boring stuff at the door, done right.

  • Talk to a person, not a portal

    A founder you can call directly, and a roadmap shaped by the venues actually using it.

SeatMine also powers ticketing for schools & athletics, dance studios, music ensembles, performance venues, and events & registrations.
