Festival ticketing software: Every release and every gate in one system
Sell tickets and multi-day passes in releases, scan at every gate on any phone, sell VIP areas with deposits and watch sales and the door as they happen.
Festivals on VenueStack.
For festivals that sell in releases, run several gates and open VIP areas. Tickets, passes, scanning and reporting share one account.
Where a festival weekend breaks.
Tickets from one company, scanners from another, VIP areas on a spreadsheet and the numbers somewhere else again. Each gap shows up at the gate.
Passes the gate can’t read
When weekend passes and day tickets live in different systems, the gate can’t tell what a guest is allowed into.
Gate queues
Scanners that lose signal or don’t share a count turn every entrance into a queue.
Reports that take weeks
Sales, scans and VIP bookings counted apart mean the post-event report waits for someone to merge them.

A festival, start to finish.
What VenueStack does from the first release to the last gate. All of it is on the one plan.
Before the gates
Before the gates
Early bird, presale, tiered and VIP tickets, release pricing, promo codes and add-ons at checkout.
Sell passes that cover every day or only the days you choose, with a set number of entries.
Branded pages and checkout on your own VenueStack page, or embedded in the website you already have.
Tickets are held for 10 minutes while a guest pays and count as sold, so a release can’t sell past its cap.
At the gates
QR code tickets and passes scan in the ticket scanner app on any phone or iPad, and check-ins sync across every gate.
Each device keeps the festival’s tickets and passes, so the gates keep moving when the signal drops.
Tickets and passes go into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
Narrated How-to guides play on the screen gate staff are using, for only the parts their role needs.
On site
VIP tables and areas on your floor plan, with deposits and minimum spends.
Check-ins as they happen, and the Clicker for gates that count by hand.
A gate scanner that stopped checking in, flagged scans and unanswered guest chats, flagged as they happen.
After the weekend

Every order builds one customer list, in your account, ready to export.

Software that sells a festival’s tickets and passes and runs its gates: releases and multi-day passes, scanning at every entrance, VIP areas and reporting afterwards. VenueStack does all of it on one plan, with your customer list in your own account.
It depends on the platform: some charge a fee on every ticket, some quote each venue, and some publish a monthly plan. VenueStack is $200 a month, or $180 a month billed yearly, with every feature, plus 4% processing fees, at least $2 and at most $50 (C$2.50–C$50, €2–€50, £1.50–£50) on each paid online order and the card processing fee. You choose whether guests pay those fees at checkout, free tickets and bookings carry no fee, and there is a 14-day free trial.
Yes. Each day is its own event with its own tickets, and a pass can cover every day or only the days you choose, with a set number of entries. The same scan at the gate checks either.
Every gate runs the check-in app on a phone or iPad. Scans add to one shared count, a ticket that was already used shows as already checked in, and each device keeps scanning offline and syncs when the signal returns.
With the How-to guides built into the dashboard. Each person gets a narrated walkthrough of only the parts their role can open, so door staff learn tickets, passes and the scanner on their own phone, without a training session.
Yes. Set up VIP sections on your floor plan with their own deposits and minimum spends, and sell VIP tickets as their own tier, alongside general admission.
Sales by event and ticket type, scans against tickets sold, how each pass sold and got used, the door count by arrival time and which tracking links brought buyers in. You can compare any two events side by side.
Yes. Embed the ticket widget in your site, or link to your branded event pages on VenueStack. Either way the checkout carries your brand and every buyer lands in your account.
