What music venues struggle with
A relentless calendar
A venue might host gigs most nights of the week, each with its own act, capacity and price. Setting every one up by hand in a generic tool eats time you don't have.
The bar is the margin
Door money often barely covers the act; the bar is where a venue makes its living. But the till usually has nothing to do with the ticketing, so the two never line up.
Settling with promoters and artists
Working out door splits, guarantees and what each promoter is owed means exporting numbers and reconciling by hand, show after show.
Marketplace fees and branding
Selling through a third-party ticketing brand adds fees, hides your venue behind their logo, and keeps the customer relationship with them, not you.
The all-in-one fix for music venues
Your venue, your brand
Sell every gig from your own branded site and domain, with your name and your look — not a marketplace's. Customers buy from the venue they're coming to.
A whole calendar, quickly
Spin up recurring and one-off shows fast, each with its own capacity, ticket tiers and on-sale time, and manage the full diary from one dashboard.
Door scanning and a fast bar
Scan tickets at the door from a phone, and run the bar on a tap-to-pay till that shares one dashboard with the door, so each show's takings reconcile together.
Clear numbers for settlements
See exactly what each show took on the door and the bar in real time, making promoter and artist settlements quick and transparent.
Built for music venues
The door and the bar, on one system
A music venue lives or dies on two numbers: how many came through the door, and how much they spent at the bar. The trouble is that almost every venue runs those on separate systems — a third-party ticketing brand for the door and a standalone till for the bar — so the two never line up, and working out what a night really made is a manual job done the morning after.
ApexGo puts both on one platform. Every gig sells from your own branded site, door staff scan tickets from a phone, and the bar runs on a tap-to-pay till that feeds the same dashboard. For each show you see entry and bar takings together in real time, which makes the nightly picture clear and promoter settlements quick.
Keep the calendar moving
The platform is built for the pace of a venue. Set up shows fast, schedule on-sales, and let early-bird tiers move themselves, so the diary stays full without endless admin. Sign up free, brand the site as your venue, and you're selling tickets for tonight and next month from the same place. The Starter plan is free, ApexGo takes 1% + 10p per paid ticket, and there's no contract.
It's the same platform behind festivals, so a venue that runs an all-dayer or an outdoor stage in summer has the multi-bar and capacity tools ready when it needs them, without changing systems.
Frequently asked questions
Can ApexGo handle a busy gig calendar?
Yes. You can set up recurring and one-off shows quickly, each with its own capacity, ticket types and on-sale time, and run the whole diary from one dashboard. The branded checkout lives on your own venue site, so every gig sells under your name rather than a marketplace's.
Does the bar tie into the ticketing?
Yes — and for most venues that's the key point. The bar runs on a tap-to-pay till on the same platform as the door, with stock tracking, so each show's door and bar takings sit in one dashboard. You see what a night actually made across entry and drinks together.
Can it help with promoter and artist settlements?
ApexGo shows exactly what each show took on the door and behind the bar in real time, which makes working out door splits, guarantees and what a promoter is owed far quicker and more transparent than exporting and reconciling by hand.
How do timed on-sales work?
You can schedule when a show goes on sale and set early-bird tiers that move automatically, so a big announcement goes live at the right moment and the right price sells first without you watching the clock.
Is there a fee, and is it free to start?
ApexGo is free to start on the Starter plan and charges 1% + 10p per paid ticket, with free tickets free. Paid plans (£49/mo and £99/mo) add more for busier venues, but you can run shows and the bar without them and there's no contract.
Can touring acts sell merch through it?
Yes. The merch shop can sell venue and touring-act merchandise online and at the show, with shared stock, so the band's table and the website don't oversell the same shirt and the takings are tracked alongside the rest of the night.
