The problem every venue has
Some shows don't sell out.
Right now, those seats earn $0.
$0
Revenue from an empty seat
The most obvious problem.
$0
Revenue from a comped ticket
You still bear the operational cost.
Brand damage
Revenue from a Goldstar/TodayTix discount
Trains buyers to wait for the deal. Erodes pricing power over time.
What you actually need
Real revenue from seats that won't sell at full price, without touching your brand, without committing to a platform, and without any upfront cost.
Scalpr solves this. We put paying members in those seats and pay you a fixed dollar amount per seat, before the show starts.
What Scalpr actually is
A membership club. Not a ticketing platform.
Members pay a monthly subscription for credits. They spend those credits to claim last-minute seats at partner venues. You get paid per seat claimed, by Scalpr, not the member.

How it works
Four steps. Minimal lift on your end.
01
You designate seats
You decide which shows to open, how many seats, and when they become available. Nothing lists without your approval.
›
02
Members claim seats
Scalpr members browse tonight's available shows in the app. They spend pre-paid credits to claim a seat. No per-show payment, they already paid their monthly subscription.
›
03
Scalpr pays you
We pay you a flat dollar amount per seat claimed, agreed between us before anything goes live. It does not fluctuate. You always know exactly what each seat is worth.
›
04
Member shows up
Member arrives at the door, scans a QR code, and walks in like any other customer. They order drinks. They become a fan. They come back at full price.
Important: Scalpr is not integrated into your box office or ticketing system. You simply tell us how many seats to make available. We handle the rest. Your existing setup stays exactly as-is.

You stay in control
Nothing happens without your say so.
We are not integrated into your ticketing system. We don't have access to your inventory. You manually decide what to share with us, and you can change it anytime.
✓
Which shows to open
Got a headliner selling out? Keep it off Scalpr. Tuesday night running slow? Open 8 seats. Your choice, every time.
✓
How many seats
Start with 5 if you want. Scale to 20. There's no minimum. You're never obligated to fill a quota.
✓
When inventory is available
You decide the timing. Most venues choose to open seats closer to showtime so there is no overlap with their existing sales. The window is yours to set and adjust anytime.
✓
Pause or stop anytime
No long-term contract to start. Try it for 30 days. If it doesn't work for your venue, walk away, no penalty.
Your brand stays intact. Scalpr members don't see a price. They see credits. Your venue is never labeled "discounted," "on sale," or "deal." Your full-price buyers never know Scalpr exists.
Why not just use Goldstar or TodayTix?
Discounting trains buyers to wait for the deal.

Money flow
You get 50-75% of face value. They keep the rest.
You pay them 3-6% of every ticket sold.
Scalpr pays you. Fixed rate per seat. No % taken.
Brand impact
"50% off tonight", your venue shows up as a deal. Trains regulars to wait.
Neutral, but your tickets are publicly priced and searchable.
Never discounted. Members see credits, not a price. Your brand is untouched.
Who shows up
Deal-seekers who will wait for the discount before buying any show.
Standard buyers, same people who'd find you anyway.
Monthly subscribers, spontaneous, not price-driven. Likely to return at full price.
Timing
Can go live days or weeks in advance, directly competes with advance sales.
Any time, full competition with your own sales channel.
You set the timing. Most venues open inventory closer to showtime so there is no overlap with advance sales.
Commitment
Ongoing relationship, hard to exit without impacting your listing.
Per-event, straightforward but no relationship benefit.
30-day trial, no contract. No minimums, no setup fees.
Founding partner spots, limited
Let's work together.
We're onboarding our first five NYC venues before launch. Founding partners lock in the highest rate we'll ever offer, permanently.
◆
Best rate locked forever. Founding venue partners receive our highest payout per credit, this rate will not be available to venues that join after launch.
◆
Priority placement in the app. Your shows appear first to Scalpr members browsing tonight's inventory. First-mover advantage is real.
◆
Zero risk to start. 30-day trial. No contract. No fees. No minimum shows. If it doesn't work, you walk away with nothing owed.
