Stagetime is the platform venues use to run open mics, sell tickets, manage the door, settle performer pay, and capture sets on tape. Hosts run the night from a single screen. Performers sign up for the list, see when they're on deck, and walk away with a recording of their set. Bookers find acts and book them direct — no middleman, no commission.
Built for the actual flow of a live room: a Tuesday open mic with a hat-draw lottery, a Friday ticketed showcase with a paid lineup, a Sunday recording session that ships sets straight to performers' phones the next morning. The same tool covers all of it.
Eventbrite takes 3.7% + $1.79 of every ticket. Stagetime takes 35 cents — and it never scales with your price, so you keep more on every show and far more as prices rise. Open mics are completely free.
