/Ticketing Software for Music Venues | Chobble Tickets
For music venues and grassroots rooms
Ticketing for a room with a programme
Put every show on sale from one site, keep the door list and the advance sales together, and pay no Chobble fee on any ticket. Managed hosting costs £50/year or £5/month whatever the room sells.
Each show is its own listing with its own capacity, price and
on-sale date. Groups put related shows on one
page, which suits a season, a weekender or a residency, and a
residency that runs every Thursday can instead be one
daily listing with capacity for each date.
The same setup covers grassroots music venues, jazz and folk rooms,
arts centres, club nights, all-dayers and promoter-run rooms inside
larger buildings.
A single link can put more than one listing in the same checkout, so
somebody buying Friday and Saturday pays once.
One listing per show, or one per date.
Groups for a season or a weekender.
Two nights in one checkout.
Advance sales and the door in one record
An advance ticket costs the price the venue set and nothing more,
because Chobble Tickets adds
no per-ticket platform fee.
Stripe, Square or SumUp pays the money into the venue's own account,
and Chobble never holds it.
Guest list, comps, industry and cash sales on the night go on as
manual attendees, so the door list is
the whole room rather than the part that bought online. Door income
and the show's costs are recorded in the
ledger against the same listing.
Door staff scan tickets with a phone camera.
The scanner warns when a ticket has already been scanned or belongs
to a different show, and a name search covers anyone whose ticket
will not scan.
Nothing added to the ticket price.
Guest list and walk-ins on the same list.
Phone-camera check-in with duplicate warnings.
Tickets that stay with the person who bought them
A listing can be marked non-transferable. The check-in screen then
prompts staff to check the attendee's ID against the name on the
ticket, which is worth using on shows that sell out quickly.
Promo codes can carry a stock
limit, so an early-bird price applies to a set number of orders and
then stops. A concession or member price can also come from a
question the buyer answers at
checkout.
When a support act drops out or a stage time moves, the venue can
email everyone booked on that show through
its own email provider. News about a booking reaches everyone who
booked, including anyone who has unsubscribed from promotions.
Attendee names, contact details and answers are encrypted in the database, and Chobble does not market to them.
What it does not do
Chobble Tickets has no seat map, so every ticket is general
admission. A venue with numbered seats or an allocated stalls plan
is better served by a platform built for reserved seating.
It does not split takings between the venue and the act. Ticket
income goes directly to the venue's own payment account, with the
payment provider's charges deducted separately, and any settlement
with a promoter or performer happens outside Chobble Tickets. The
ledger records what a show earned and what it cost, which is the
figure a settlement is usually written from.
Chobble Tickets does not run an event marketplace. It sells to the
audience the venue brings, and no listing is promoted to other
people's customers.
