Concert Ticketing Platform: Seat Maps, Waves and Door Scanning

Seat maps buyers can pick from

For a seated show, draw the room once: rows, sections and tables. Buyers pick their own seats on the event page and see what is taken. A seat is held while the buyer checks out, so two people cannot pay for the same chair, and the door sees which seat each ticket belongs to.

Standing shows skip the map: set a quantity for each ticket type and sell general admission. Dinner shows and lounges can sell whole tables from the same map.

Ticket waves that open and close on schedule

Selling in waves rewards the fans who commit early and gives you a reason to post again. On Blend each wave is a ticket type with its own price, its own quantity and its own sale dates. Set early release, second release and final release up front, and each one opens and closes on the dates you chose.

• Presale behind an access code, so only the people you sent the code to can book.
• Purchase limits, so one buyer cannot empty a wave.
• Promo codes by amount or percentage, limited to the ticket types you choose.
• Add-ons sold with the ticket, each with its own stock.

Several shows, one event page

When an artist plays more than one night, or an early and a late show, add each as a show on the same event. Buyers choose their show, every show has its own tickets, and on the night each scanner is issued for one show, so a ticket for the late show does not get into the early one.

Promoter codes for every seller on the team

Concerts sell through people. Give every promoter a code and a tracked link, and see the tickets and revenue each one brought in. See the promoter dashboard.

Checkout and the ticket itself

Buyers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and on events priced in US dollars they can also pay with Whish. They see the ticket price, the processing fee as its own line and the total before paying. The ticket arrives by email as a QR code, with a PDF and a pass for Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

For a high demand show, turn on the rotating barcode: the QR refreshes on a timer and a forwarded screenshot does not scan.

Door scanning on the night

Your door team scan tickets with a phone camera. Issue each phone a scanner code and it becomes a door, with no login to share. A valid ticket is admitted, a ticket that was already scanned is flagged, and you see the count climbing from wherever you are. More on access control and check in. Running bars on the night? Add cashless payments.
