What we're shipping first (and why)

Most platforms add features based on what competitors do.

We took a different approach. After 15 years of running Creative South and feeling every pain point ourselves, we talked to organizer after organizer and asked one question: "What actually matters for your event?" This isn't a comprehensive feature list, rather this is the foundation we're building on. Our focus is on doing 10 things right, not 100 things just ok.

Here's what we built first, organized by what organizers told us keeps them up at night.

Getting Paid

Cash flow isn't sexy, but it's existential. Every organizer we talked to had a story about scrambling to cover deposits while waiting for ticket revenue. We decided to fix this first.

Fast Payouts

Funds transfer to your account on your terms. You set the payout structure in your Stripe account, and the money is ready when you want it. Better cash flow management means you can focus on planning instead of worrying.

Transparent Platform Fees

Flat 2.5% fee on paid ticket sales (plus Stripe's standard payment processing fees: 2.9% + $0.30. And no fees on free tickets.

No Monthly Fees

Pay only when you sell tickets. No ongoing costs for seasonal organizers. Our success is directly tied to yours.

Revenue Dashboard

Real-time view of ticket sales, revenue, and fees. Know exactly where you stand, any time.

Selling Tickets

Your ticket page is your storefront. If buying a ticket is confusing or slow, you run the risk of missing out on a sale.

Customizable Ticket Types

Create unlimited ticket tiers: General Admission, VIP, Early Bird, Student, whatever makes sense for your event.

Discount Codes & Promotions

Create custom discount codes for sponsors, speakers, and members. Percentage off, dollar amount off, limited quantity, or time-limited.

Customizable Event Page

First impression is everything. Quickly add a header image, tagline, and event description that make your event standout.

Managing Your Event

The weeks leading up to your event are controlled chaos. These tools keep you organized.

Guest List Management

Searchable, filterable list of all ticket buyers. Export to CSV, filter by ticket type, search by name or email, tag attendees. Find anyone instantly.

Mobile Check-In App

Check in attendees via phone (iOS and Android). Scan QR codes or search names. See check-in status in real-time.

Understanding Your Audience

Data helps you make better decisions. But you need insights, not analytics paralysis.

Real-Time Sales Dashboard

See how sales are trending tracking total tickets sold, revenue to date, ticket type popularity, and more.

Attendee Data Export

Export all attendee data to CSV for your records. Not gatekeeping here.

Support That Actually Helps

Support tickets don't care about business hours. We've been there.

Human Support (Not Chatbots)

Real people who've run real events answer your questions. Email support and you'll get a real response (often within the hour).

Help Documentation

Comprehensive guides for every feature. Searchable knowledge base, step-by-step tutorials, video walkthroughs, and FAQ section.

What's Coming Next?

We're shipping v1 with a strong foundation, but we're also just getting started. We're continually talking to organizers, running research interviews, and learning what matters most for your events. Every conversation shapes what we build next.
