Built around how comedy rooms actually sell
Headliner weekends sell out; weeknight showcases don't. You need tiered pricing (early bird, general, front row), a way to push the slow nights to people who already like you, and a door process that doesn't create a line down the block at 7:55.
TixKarma gives you tiers per show, a follow button so fans get notified automatically when you post a new lineup, and QR scanning that processes a 200-seat room in minutes from any phone.
What comedy clubs use most
- Per-show tiers: early bird, GA, front row, VIP meet-and-greet
- Arrival-time analytics so you know when to open doors and start the opener
- No-show rates per night, so you can oversell intelligently
- Fan follows: post a show, your followers get an email automatically
- Discount codes for comics to share with their own audiences
- Free listing on SceneScout so new-in-town audiences find you
Keep the headliner's audience after the headliner leaves
When a touring comic sells out your room, those 200 people are usually the comic's fans, not yours. Unless you capture them. Every TixKarma buyer is your contact — so the next time you book a similar act, you email 200 people who already had a great night in your room.
Common questions
You can create a ticket tier that includes the minimum (e.g. 'Ticket + 2 drinks') or note the policy on the event page. Many clubs use a higher-priced tier that bundles it.
Sell at the door through your own event page on a tablet, or keep a 'Door' tier open until showtime. Walk-up buyers get a QR on their phone instantly.
