The independent venue problem
Legacy ticketing charges 20–30% all-in, splits the audience data between the platform and the promoter, and leaves the venue with the bar tab and nothing else. A $15 show becomes $21 at checkout, the fan blames you, and you never learn who they were.
TixKarma is flat: $2 plus card processing, paid by the buyer. A $15 ticket is $17.60. You receive $15. The buyer's email is yours. And because it's flat, the fee *shrinks* as a percentage the more you charge — $50 tickets cost 8%, not 28%.

Run the door without renting hardware
Door staff open the scanner page on their phones and go. Multiple scanners sync in real time, duplicate-scan attempts are flagged, and you can see the live count from the office. No scanner rental, no app install for staff.
Common questions
Yes. Venues can tag performers and collaborate with promoters; the event lives on your venue page so your followers see it, and the buyer data is shared with you.
