VenueCircuit
The operating system for live events

Close the night. Know your numbers.

Your GM closes the night in 90 seconds — bar, door, staff, payouts. The venue's money stays separate from the promoter's, every number drills down to the receipt, and the quarter is already done. Prism won't tell you the price without a sales call. Ours is on this page.

The whole idea

The whole night's money in one net.

Tickets, bar, merch, payouts, sponsors, grants — every dollar from the night lands in one place. And every number on the page drills down to the receipt behind it, so "where did that go?" takes four taps, not four days.

One system that goes as deep as you need — never 40 tabs of admin.

Tonight, without VenueCircuit

The close is five artifacts and nobody trusts any of them.

Drawer counts on the back of a set list
Ticket totals as a screenshot in the group text
POS exports retyped into a spreadsheet
A settlement that lives on one party's laptop
A shoebox of receipts for the bookkeeper

Reconciling that takes 1–3 hours a night, 100+ nights a year — call it two hundred hours of someone's life. VenueCircuit closes the same night in 90 seconds, and every number keeps its receipt.

Why you can trust the numbers

No hand in the till.

Most “free” venue software is free because it makes money on your ticket sales. The system that keeps a venue's books shouldn't be owned by a company with a hand in the till.

We never take a cut of your tickets No per-person or per-order fees Flat subscription — priced on this page

When optional ticketing ships (Chapter 2), it's 75¢ flat per ticket — and you'll never be forced onto it.

Built with working operators

Made for rooms like yours.

Independent venues, real nights, real money. Not a spreadsheet’s idea of a show.

The owner, watching the room.
2am. Counting the drawer.
Every bottle accounted for.
The green room, between sets.
Load-in. The handshake.
Doors. The wristband.

“We were doing the 1 a.m. recap in a group text and a spreadsheet that was wrong since March. VenueCircuit closes the night in one entry — bar, door, payouts — and the owner sees the P&L before the last bartender clocks out.”

Run the night
Tickets, bar, staff and merch flow in — from your POS or a 90-second close. Live telemetry the whole night.

Settle & see
One tap settles both sides and rolls into your P&L. Search any night, any number, any time.

Show day runs on a phone, not a laptop.

At 6pm you're at the dock, not a desk. The incumbents ship mobile that's read-only — or no app at all. VenueCircuit is built phone-first and verified at 390px on every release.

Edit the day sheet from the dock — set times, contacts, and changes push to everyone on the show.
Close the night from the bar: drawer counts, door, payouts — thumb-sized targets, no pinching.
Add to your home screen and it launches like an app — full-screen, offline-tolerant, instant.
Paperwork, streamlined

From handshake to books.

Every piece of show paperwork generates from the one before it. Nothing gets re-typed, nothing gets lost in an inbox.

Advance
One live advance both sides edit — deal, doors, backline, hospitality.
Day sheet
Print-ready, generated from the advance. Post it backstage.
Close
Your GM confirms the night once — most of it already filled in.
Settlement
Artist and promoter settle from the same numbers. Everyone signs.
Your books
The night posts to your live P&L and pushes to QuickBooks or Xero.
Bring what you already use

Connect the services you already run on.

Your close fills itself in — tickets, bar, merch and marketing flow from the systems you've already got. 25+ services: POS, ticketing, accounting, music, marketing.

Nightly close

Close the night in 90 seconds.

Live P&L

The annual P&L you can't get today.

Every settled night folds into a live week / month / quarter / year. Drill any number down to the atom — total expenses → security → the contractor → the shift. Push it straight to QuickBooks. And because door history finally joins bar-per-head, you can see which genres and nights actually make money — book-again verdicts, not vibes.

Loss prevention

Catch the money walking out the back.

Counted stock vs. what your POS says you poured. The gap is shrinkage — flagged automatically, per bottle. See exactly how much whiskey vs. gin you sold, and where the leak is. Toast has this and nobody uses it. We do it for you.

Built for the whole crew

One show. Everyone on the same page.

Tonight, settlement happens on one party's spreadsheet — handed to the other side as finished fact. Disputes are unwinnable because there's no shared record. Here, a show gets booked and instantly everyone's linked: the bar, box office, sound, security, the tour. Each person contributes their part, watches the same math, and signs offwhen it's done.

Settlement is two-sided — the same numbers on both screens, never "their spreadsheet says."
When it's agreed, the settlement locks — stamped with who signed and when.
Your bar manager sees the bar. Your box office sees the door. Nobody digs through what isn't theirs.
The night isn't closed until everyone signs off. Every number is traceable to a person.

The honest comparison

The incumbents are good — at their slice.

Every one of them stops somewhere. The night doesn't.

Prism
The booking gold standard — and it stops at the booking deal. No bar, no labor, no merch, no venue P&L. Price is a sales call.
Opendate
Free-looking — because it monetizes fees on your ticket sales. Thinner deal math, and the books follow the ticketing.
Master Tour
The tour binder — and it stops at the bus. Nothing about the house's money, and mobile is read-only.
Spreadsheets
The real incumbent. Free, familiar, wrong since March — and nobody can prove whose number is right.
Transparent pricing

See the price. Try the product.

Every plan starts as a free 45-day pilot. No sales call, no card, no annual lock-in.
