For UK venues and promoters

Run the whole show. Pay nothing.

Stagio looks after your venue from the first hold to the final settlement, so you get your evenings back. Ticket buyers cover it with a 35p booking fee, or you can absorb it.

We look after you

Save time, hassle and money.

Running shows is hard enough. Stagio takes the admin off your plate, walks you through every show the same way, and costs your venue nothing.

Your time back

One record per show, so nothing is typed twice. AI writes the copy from your files, checks turn into tasks, and the pacing tells you when a show needs a push.

Support that stays

Every show follows the same routine and checklists, so nothing is missed and new staff pick it up fast. Founding venues get hands-on setup and a direct line to the founder.

Money saved

£0 a month for venues. Buyers pay a flat 35p booking fee, or you absorb it. Set your own booking fee on top and keep all of it.

More than ticketing

Ticketing is the easy bit.

Anyone can build a checkout now. The hard part is everything around it: the holds, the deal, the announce, the advance, the rota, the door and the settlement. Stagio does all of it, in one place, and we stay with you while you run it.

How it's free

Your buyers pay 35p. You pay nothing.

No subscription, no setup fee, no percentage. Stagio earns a flat 35p booking fee on each paid ticket, which is usually lower than percentage-based fees. Free tickets, comps and door sales carry no fee.

  • Prefer to absorb it? One switch per event and the buyer sees no fee.
  • Tied into another ticketing company? The plug-in plan gives you everything else in Stagio for £99 a month.

Built for UK rooms

Made for the way British venues actually work.

All-in prices

Buyers see the full price up front, booking fee included, in line with the UK rules on drip pricing.

Money straight to you

Ticket money goes into your own Stripe account, not ours, and pays out to your bank on your own schedule.

SIA licences on the rota

Door and security shifts check licence numbers and flag the ones about to run out.

A door app that works offline

Stagio Crew keeps scanning when the signal drops and catches up when it comes back.

No logins for outsiders

Agents, artists, crew and bar staff work through private links, with an emailed code before they see money or contracts.

Copy in your voice

Drop in the press release and EPK. Stagio writes the brief, three description drafts and the social copy.

Our mission

Make running a venue easier and cheaper.

We know how hard it is to keep a room open: long nights, thin margins and a week spent chasing spreadsheets and emails. The people who run venues and promote shows keep live music going. Stagio is here to look after them.

Founding venues

Ten places for the venues who go first.

We're opening Stagio to a small group of venues and promoters before anyone else. In return for honest feedback and a quote we can share, founding venues get:

  • Hands-on setup

    We set up your venues, ticket types and team with you.

  • A direct line to the founder

    Not a ticket queue. Ask, and it gets looked at.

  • 35p locked for 24 months

    Whatever happens to pricing, your booking fee stays put.

Request an invite

Ready when the house lights go down.

Stagio is invite-only while we bring venues on carefully. Tell us who you are and we'll get back to you personally.

We only use these details to talk to you about Stagio. We never share them or add you to a mailing list.
