The frustration

The big ticketing platforms were never built for you

If you are running independent events, you should not have to lose a percentage of every ticket you sell. Most ticketing platforms make money every time you do. Stubmatic is different.

Pay one simple monthly licence, decide how booking fees work, and keep control of your customers, your payments and your business.

Booking fees eat your profits

Every ticket sold should help your business grow, not someone else's.

Simple beats complicated

No enterprise software. No unnecessary features. Just everything you need to list events, sell tickets and manage entry.

You are always in control

Your Stripe account. Your customer data. Your branding. Your business.

How Stubmatic helps

Sell more tickets. Keep more of the money.

Everything you need to run successful events, from your first listing to your last guest through the door.

Keeping your money

Keep every booking fee (unless you choose not to)

Most ticketing platforms take a percentage of every sale. Stubmatic does not.

  • Keep every booking fee
  • Add your own booking fee if you wish
  • Payments go directly to your Stripe account
  • No waiting for payouts
  • No hidden commission
Back in 2009, the Stubmatic article in The Guardian made the case that booking fees pile onto the price fans pay while rarely reaching the people putting on the show. Nearly two decades on, it still applies. Stubmatic puts that choice back in your hands.

Works with your AI assistantComing soon

Just ask your AI assistant

Already using a helper like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity or Grok? Stubmatic can plug straight into it, so you can run your box office by simply asking, in plain English.

So what is this MCP thing?

MCP is a fancy name for a little cable that lets your AI helper talk to Stubmatic safely. Think of it like giving a trusted assistant a key to your box office. It can look things up and get jobs done for you, but only the things you allow. Nothing happens unless you ask for it, and your information stays yours.

Things you could just ask

"How many tickets did we sell for Friday?" "Draft an email to everyone coming on Saturday." "Which events are selling slowly this month?" "Add an early bird ticket to next week's show."
