Theater and Comedy Event Ticketing Made for the Stage
Flexible Event Setup
A six-night play and a one-night stand-up special don't sell the same way. Set seating, ticket types, and pricing for each show on its own. When a run goes well, copy it forward to the next performance or the next season instead of starting over.
Reserved and General Admission Seating
Theater audiences like to pick their seats. Comedy crowds often just want a spot near the stage. Offer assigned seating for one show and general admission for the next, with separate pricing by section.
Easy Door Entry
Nobody wants to miss the opening bit. Scan tickets or look up a name on any phone or tablet, so the house fills fast, and the show starts on time. Taking last-minute sales at the door? Sellout can supply a card reader for walk-ups.
Ticketing for Every Kind of Show
Plays, Musicals & Theater Runs
A multi-night run needs a seat map and a firm capacity for every performance. Sellout supports reserved seating, so patrons pick their own seats and your box office spends less time on the phone. Matinees and evening shows can be priced separately.
Stand-Up & Comedy Nights
Comedy rooms often sell general admission and fill the front rows first. Sell tickets for comedy shows with separate pricing by section, plus VIP or early-entry tickets for the headliner. Scanning at the door keeps the line moving before the opener takes the stage.
Improv, Open Mics & Local Showcases
Smaller shows still need a headcount and a simple way to sell. Sellout works as event registration software for performers and audiences, so you can offer low-cost or free tickets, cap the room, and check people in without a paper list.
Touring Acts & One-Night Specials
A touring comic or company may hit a new venue every night. Create an event page for each stop, set its own pricing and capacity, and copy the setup to the next city instead of rebuilding it.
Kids' Shows & Family Matinees
Family matinees mean child and adult pricing on the same show. Sellout supports multiple ticket types per event, so one page can sell adult, child, and group tickets with a capacity for each.
Fundraisers & Benefit Nights
Benefit shows often bundle a ticket with a table, a donation, or a drink add-on. Add-ons attach at checkout, so guests handle everything in one purchase and your volunteers aren't tracking cash.
