Who it's for

Comedy club ticketing that builds a regular crowd

Comedy lives on repeat attendance — the person who came for a headliner and comes back for the Tuesday open mic. Most ticketing platforms treat every sale as a stranger. TixKarma tracks who's been to three shows, who brings friends, and lets you email them when the next lineup drops.

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

Can I set a two-drink minimum or add-on?

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.

How do I handle walk-ups at the door?

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.

Does this work for a weekly open mic?

Yes — free events cost nothing, so run the open mic as a free RSVP event and build your list every week.
