Switch from Stage Stubs to Ticketable
Stage Stubs is free to the studio, but families pay a percentage booking fee on every seat and payouts arrive weekly. For a multi-night recital that adds up quickly. Ticketable removes the booking fee and pays you daily.
Why organisers move from Stage Stubs
- Stop charging families a percentage. A booking fee on every seat is money out of parents' pockets across a whole cast list. With no platform fee, the ticket price you publish is what they pay.
- Daily payouts, not weekly. Costumes, venue hire and lighting get paid for before the curtain goes up. Money lands in your own Stripe account and pays out daily rather than on a weekly platform settlement.
- Built for multi-performance runs. Each night is its own event with its own capacity and QR check-in, so a three-show run is three clean guest lists rather than one confusing one — and there is no per-event charge.
How to switch to Ticketable
- Export your attendees. Download your existing customer list from Stage Stubs so you can invite past buyers to your next event. Your audience is yours to keep.
- Create your event on Ticketable. Set up the event, ticket types and capacity — it takes a few minutes, with no demo or sales call.
- Connect your Stripe account. Link your own Stripe so payments land directly in your bank with daily payouts. Running a free event? You can publish without Stripe.
- Publish and share. Go live, share your branded booking link, and check attendees in at the door with the free scanner app.
What you bring with you
The things that matter come with you: your audience (export your buyers and keep marketing to them), your branding (an organiser-themed booking page), and your money (paid directly into your own Stripe account, daily). There’s no contract and no minimum, so you can move one event at a time. For the full numbers, see the Ticketable vs Stage Stubs comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ticketable handle multiple performances of one show?
Yes. Create an event per performance, each with its own capacity, ticket tiers and door list. Check-in scans against the right night automatically, so a Friday ticket cannot walk in on Saturday.
Can we run a free or donation-based show?
Yes — free events are always free and unlimited, and can be published without connecting Stripe at all. That suits showcases, open days and end-of-term performances.
How do parents receive their tickets?
By email, with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet buttons and a printable PDF. Nobody needs to download an app, and there is a clean printable option for families who prefer paper.
