Sell out every show,
online and at the door
ThunderTix is the box office and online ticketing platform built for concert venues, nightclubs, music halls, and listening rooms: general admission or reserved seating, presales to public on-sale, wallet checkout, merch, and marketing in one system.
Running a live music venue means selling fast when a show drops, controlling who gets in early, and keeping cash flow predictable between dates. ThunderTix gives independent venues, promoters, and clubs the same concert ticketing software tools the big players use (reserved seating and GA, presale passcodes, per-ticket-type capacities, waiting lists, and built-in email marketing) without handing a slice of every ticket to a middleman. You keep your patron data, your brand, and your revenue.
Features built for live music venues
From the on-sale rush to the merch table, these are the tools that help music venues sell more tickets and run a cleaner box office.
GA & reserved seating
Sell general admission, reserved seats, or a mix on the same event with beautifully designed, mobile-friendly seat maps.
Pre-sale passcodes
Give VIPs, fan clubs, and sponsors a private passcode for early access, then open to the public automatically at your on-sale time.
Capacities by ticket type
Cap each ticket type independently (GA, balcony, VIP tables, standing room) so you never oversell a section.
Facebook & X sharing
Post events to Facebook and X yourself, and let built-in social sharing tools prompt buyers to share their purchase after checkout.
Automatic artist sales updates
Send performing artists and promoters automated emails showing exactly how their show is selling. No spreadsheets required.
CFAR ticket protection
Offer Cancel For Any Reason coverage at checkout so fans buy with confidence, and your venue earns a share of every policy.
Apple Pay & Google Pay
One-tap checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay converts more mobile buyers and shrinks abandoned carts on show night.
Save tickets to wallet
Fans add tickets to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for fast, contactless scanning at the door.
Waiting lists with timed links
Sold-out show? Fans join a waitlist and get emailed a purchase link the moment seats free up, valid for the window you set.
Coupons & promo codes
Run early-bird deals, member discounts, and partner promos with flexible coupon and promo code rules.
Built-in email marketing
Send mass emails and target fans by the genres and events they've bought. Your CRM and marketing live in one place.
Sell merch & a shop page
Add merch to any event or run a standalone online shop, capturing t-shirt and vinyl revenue alongside every ticket.
Sell every seat and every spot
Whether your room is standing-only, fully seated, or a mix of tables and GA floor, ThunderTix handles it. Build custom seat maps and set a separate capacity for each ticket type so a section never oversells.
- Reserved seating and general admission on the same event.
- Capacities by ticket type: VIP tables, balcony, standing room, each capped on its own.
- Mobile-friendly seat selection your fans can actually use.
Own the drop, from presale to sold out
Reward your biggest fans with early access, then flip to public sale automatically. When a show sells out, a waiting list keeps demand warm and converts it the second seats open back up.
- Pre-sale passcodes for VIPs, fan clubs, and sponsors, with automatic public on-sale.
- Waiting lists that email a purchase link valid for the number of hours you choose.
- Coupons and promo codes for early-bird, member, and partner deals.
A checkout fans actually finish
Every extra tap loses a sale. Apple Pay and Google Pay let fans buy in one touch, tickets drop straight into their phone wallet, and Cancel For Any Reason coverage removes the "what if I can't go" hesitation.
- Pay with Apple Pay and Google Pay for one-tap mobile checkout.
- Save tickets to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet for contactless door scanning.
- CFAR ticket protection that builds buyer confidence and adds revenue.
The Blue Room
Marketing and merch, built in
Turn your ticket buyers into a marketing list you own. Segment fans by the genres and shows they buy, blast an announcement, push events to social, and sell merch right alongside the ticket, or from a standalone shop.
- Mass email marketing segmented by purchase genre and event, powered by your built-in CRM.
- Two-way social reach: post events to Facebook & X yourself, and let social sharing tools prompt buyers to share right after checkout.
- Automatic sales updates emailed to your artists and promoters, so everyone sees how the show is selling.
- Event Restricted Access: give artists or partners seller accounts limited to the events you allow.
Get paid faster with nightly deposits
As tickets are purchased, ticketing income is deposited nightly into your business bank account through a secure online payment gateway connection. Use incoming revenue to promote shows, reserve vendors, and plan staffing with confidence.
- Nightly deposits straight to your bank, with no waiting for a payout window.
- Secure connection through your own merchant payment gateway.
- Already processing cards online? Sign up and start selling the same day.
Dynamic ticket pricing
Automatically raise prices as your event draws nearer. Schedule increases to kick in a set number of days before the show. Run early-bird pricing for a limited window, then step prices up, right through the day of the event. You keep full control to change prices manually anytime, too.
- Early-bird pricing that expires on the date you choose.
- Scheduled price steps leading up to and on show day.
- More advance sales means more accurate head counts for staffing and resources.
Sell on your own branded domain
Run ticketing on your own custom domain (like tickets.yourvenue.com) instead of a ThunderTix subdomain, available as a low-cost add-on. A first-party domain is ideal if you run Facebook/Meta or Google Conversions API (CAPI) tracking, giving you cleaner attribution and better data on your ad spend.
Cover your costs, or turn ticket fees into revenue
You decide how ticketing gets paid for. Add a service fee that more than covers your ThunderTix cost and keep the difference, or move the entire cost to your buyers and pay nothing yourself. Either way, comp tickets are always free and your revenue deposits nightly.
Create a revenue stream
Pass your own service fee to buyers that fully covers your ThunderTix costs, and keep the margin on top as a brand-new revenue stream for your venue.
Pay As You Go
Prefer not to pay a monthly bill? On our Pay As You Go plan your customers cover all ticketing costs at checkout, so your venue pays nothing.
Questions venues ask before switching
The best live music ticketing software lets you sell both general admission and reserved seating, run presales with passcodes, cap capacity by ticket type, and market to your own fan list, without charging a percentage of every ticket. ThunderTix combines all of that with Apple Pay and Google Pay checkout, wallet tickets, waiting lists, merch sales, and nightly deposits, making it a strong fit for concert venues, nightclubs, music halls, and listening rooms.

ThunderTix uses a monthly plan plus a flat cost per ticket, rather than taking a percentage of your sales. That means a $20 ticket and a $200 ticket cost you the same to sell, and $0 comp tickets are always free. See the pricing page for current plans.

Ticket revenue is deposited nightly into your business bank account through your secure online payment gateway, so you get paid as sales come in rather than waiting for a payout window. If you already process credit cards online, you can sign up and start selling the same day.
