Venue Stay-To-Play

Stop paying to play. Stay to play.

Pay-to-play venues make bands pre-buy tickets to their own show. Stay-To-Play partner venues ask for something better: commit to 2–10 tickets for another band’s show at the same venue — and go.

  1. List your gig at a ★ partner venue.
  2. Open another band’s gig at that venue and commit tickets.
  3. The venue sees your support on your booking; the other band sees a crowd coming.
