Your money, on your schedule

Legacy platforms hold your revenue until the event is over, then take their cut and send the rest weeks later. Here is how Seatfun does it instead.

Flexible payouts: daily, weekly, or monthly

You pick the cadence that fits how you run the books. Daily if you want on-sale revenue funding the artist deposit and the marketing spend before doors. Weekly or monthly if your bookkeeper would rather reconcile in batches. Either way, you are paid as tickets sell, not after the show, and you can change the schedule whenever your operation does.

A fee structure you build with us

Every organizer's fees are different, because every operation is different. We sit down with you and design the service fee together, then you add any custom fees you want on top: facility fee, restoration fee, parking, whatever your building needs. Those custom fees are your revenue, not ours, and they are passed to the buyer at checkout like everything else.

Every payment in one ledger

Online orders, box office sales, Tap to Pay at the door, and add-on upsells all flow into one transaction list. Search any order, see exactly what was charged and what you received, and reconcile a season in an afternoon instead of a week.

Seatfun has been nothing short of exceptional. We recently switched our ticketing platform for The Office Nashville over to Seatfun. Believe me when I say we’ve tried them all. Their team went above and beyond building a full website for us. They did it with speed, clarity, and a genuine care for our brand. We look forward to the growth of Seatfun. They’ve become actual partners and didnt/ haven’t treated us like “another account”. We opted for Seatfun because they’re right there on the other line within minutes to answer our questions. Communication is fast, and personal. This is a company that shows up for you. More like SeatFAM."

"We promoted live music for over 20 years and used Eventbrite since 2012, but when issues came up, it was nearly impossible to reach a real person. At one point, $20,000 in deposits were held without clear communication, and it took weeks to get answers. Since switching to Seatfun, we’ve had immediate support, daily access to our ticket revenue, and a true partner focused on improving our operations, not just selling tickets. We launched 25 shows for 2026 at once, sold reserved tables and seats, and started generating income months in advance to help cover artist deposits. Most importantly, Seatfun doesn’t promote competitor events to our attendees!”
John H., Owner at Coach's Corner
