Switch to MainGate

Switching ticket companies?
We'll move you.

Tell us what you're selling and we'll set it up — your events, ticket types, seat maps and payouts — then walk you through it before you go on sale. Your guests pay a flat $1 per ticket; it costs you $0.

New organizers: your first 2,000 tickets have no MainGate fee.
The switch kit

Everything it takes to move, done for you

We build your events

Send us your current event links, flyer or a spreadsheet. We set up your pages, dates, ticket types, prices and promo codes.

We draw your seat map

Reserved seats or tables? Send a photo or PDF of your layout and we'll build the seat map, sell by seat or by whole table.

Bring your buyers

Export your past buyer list and we'll help you get it into your email tool so your regulars hear about your next show.

Paid within days

We help you connect Stripe so ticket money goes straight to your bank within days of each sale — not after the event.

Sell on your own website

Put your tickets right on your site with MainFrame, plus a page with all of your events that buyers can shop together.

A real person, in Texas

A setup call before you go on sale, and someone who answers the phone on event night. Call 713-303-4094.

Questions

How does the free offer work?
New organizers' first 2,000 paid tickets carry no MainGate fee — your guests pay $0 to us on those. After that it's the normal $1 per ticket. Nothing to sign up for; it's on your account automatically.
I already have events on sale somewhere else. Now what?
Keep them running. Start your next event or next date on MainGate — or we can move an event mid-sale and you close the old one when you're ready.
Do you do reserved seating and tables?
Yes. Seat maps, whole-table sales, timed entry, multiple dates, promo codes, donations, box office and door scanning with any phone are all included.
Is there a contract?
No contract, no setup fee and no monthly fee. If your event is free, MainGate is free.
