1: Sign up
It’s easy to get started with Gobo. Just sign up with your name and email address, set a password, tell us a few things about yourself, and connect your bank account using Stripe, our payment processor.
2: Create your event
Enter the basic details of your event: when and where it is, how much, and give us a title and description. We support one or more performance dates, multiple tiers of pricing, and various pricing models including a sliding scale. You can set up discount codes, reminder and thank you emails, and customize your event image.
3: Publish, promote, get paid
Once your event is ready, hit publish and share your event with the world. We’ll help you track visitors to your site so you know what’s working with your promotions and what isn’t. As sales come in, track them in our front-of-house interface and get nightly payments–we don’t hold on to your cash like some other services.
4: Run your show with our Front-of-House app
Our front-of-house experience allows you to check in patrons, record walkups, and track remaining inventory so you can smoothly welcome fans to your show. Once the show is over, we’ll import email opt-ins into your marketing system and send thank-you emails to the audience who attended your show.
FAQS
How much do you charge?
We take a flat 5% fee of all ticket sales, which includes your credit card processing fees. That’s it. No additional charges, no long term commitments.
what if i need to cancel or change things?
You can change most things that don’t effect patrons up until the day of the event. If you need to cancel a performance or change a location, our staff will work with you to manage communication with patrons and make the changes for you.
can i pass your fees on to customers?
No, we don’t surprise patrons with fees at checkout. Our surveys of patrons found that over 90% of patrons said they ‘hated’ ticket fees and a majority of patrons had chosen to not attend events because of ticket fees. Our goal is to make ticketing transparent and affordable for everyone- and that includes your fans!
