Comp Tickets, Guest Lists & Promo Codes
Free tickets and door management for the show team — band members, venue
staff, booking agents, and promoters.
Comp (free) tickets
Anyone on the show team can hand out free tickets:
- Open the show's ticket page and click "Comp tickets, guest list & promos".
- Enter the recipient's name (email optional), how many, and which tier.
- Each comp gets a real QR code — it scans at the door exactly like a
paid ticket, including the rotating anti-screenshot code.
Comps are free: no payment, no 15% platform split. You can cancel an
unredeemed comp any time; once it's scanned, it's done.
Guest list
One guest list per show, managed from the same team page:
- Add a name with party size and optional notes.
- Bulk add — paste lines like `Alex Rivera, 2` (party size optional).
- Check in at the door with one tap; undo if you make a mistake.
- The venue door page shows the guest list for each show with
check-off buttons, plus how many heads are in vs. expected.
Promo code batches (radio giveaways etc.)
For partners like radio stations and sponsors:
- On the team page, generate a batch — name it (e.g. "X96 Morning
Show"), pick a quantity and tier.
- Download the CSV and send the codes to your partner.
- Listeners go to /promo/redeem, enter their code + name — no
account needed — and get a ticket with a QR code instantly.
Codes are single-use and unguessable. Redemption is rate-limited, and the
page never says whether a code was invalid or already used (so nobody can
fish for live codes). Every redeemed code becomes a real scannable ticket.
Show team: agents, promoters, managers (v0.45.1)
Venues and bands each keep their own roster of booking agents, promoters
(and managers, for bands):
- Venue page → "Agents & Promoters" (venue managers only): add someone
by username as a booking agent or promoter. They're automatically added
to every new show's team at that venue.
- Band page → "Agents" tab (band admins only): add booking agents,
promoters, or managers. From any show's team page, add them to that
show's team with one click — or add anyone by username.
- Show team page lists everyone: who they are, their role, and whether
they were auto-added (venue) or added manually (and by whom).
Show team members get the same permissions as the band and venue staff:
issuing comp tickets, managing the guest list, and generating promo code
batches.
