Stripe checkout, QR delivery, door scanner. Zero platform fees, zero SMS upcharges, and the customer list belongs to you, not the platform. Built for the room, not the resale market.
Most ticketing platforms take a cut, hide the buyer's email behind a marketplace, and slow the payout to the venue by a week. Arpejo runs the whole arpeggio in your name.
Spin up a show in 60 seconds. Title, date, hero image, price tiers. Hit publish, copy the buy link, post it everywhere. We don't sit between you and your fans.
Stripe handles checkout. Fans pay no platform service fee. SMS delivery is free. Funds settle to your account on Stripe's normal schedule, no week-long platform hold.
Door staff opens the scanner on any phone. Big green ADMIT, red INVALID, blue DUPLICATE. Audit log of every scan. Manual token entry if a fan's phone won't load.
StubWire and the other big-room platforms charge your fans $2–$3 per ticket plus a $1 SMS upcharge to text them a barcode. Arpejo doesn't.

Arpejo is one piece of a venue operating system. The same fans who buy tickets are also the ones who order food, pour bar tabs, and fill reservations. Plug Arpejo in and the entire night flows through one customer record.
Ticket buyer's email is matched against your POS. When they walk up to the bar that night, you already know their last 5 visits.
Sell ticket + brisket plate together. Bundle adds $8–$15 of margin per fan. Kitchen knows headcount before doors.
Last show's buyers convert 15–25% on a single SMS blast for the next gig. The list is yours forever.
We're working with a small group of independent live-music venues to pressure-test the system on real shows. Drop your email and a venue name — we'll be in touch within a day.
