Eventbrite and StubWire end the relationship at checkout. Arpejo turns every ticket into the front door of a year-round fan loop — collectible show stamps, photo wall, AI booking that learns from your fans' Spotify, in-app merch, tips, meetups, loyalty cards, and the audience CRM that's actually yours.
Big platforms sell you a ticket button. Arpejo sells you the year between tickets.
When a fan walks out of your venue, Eventbrite forgets them. Arpejo just got started. Their show poster becomes a stamp on their profile. Their photos go on your wall. Their Spotify tells you who to book next. The next time you put a show up, they already know.
Most platforms pick one. Arpejo runs all three on a single database — every action by a fan, owner, or artist updates the same record in real time.
Most independent music venues stitch together six or seven tools — ticketing here, email blasts there, photos on Instagram, surveys on Typeform, reviews scattered. Arpejo collapses them into one customer record.

Eventbrite and StubWire are ticketing companies. Once the ticket is sold, the relationship is over — you don't get the customer list, and the fan never thinks about your venue until you happen to advertise. Arpejo treats the ticket as the front door to a year-round fan relationship. Every show becomes a collectible stamp on the fan's profile. Their photos go on your venue's wall. They tip the artist. They order food from their seat. They vote on the setlist. Their Spotify listening tells you who to book next. The ticket is just the start.
Artists get a self-serve portal at /artist/ where they can claim their booked slug, run their own merch, accept tips, and pay out 85% of every dollar to their connected Stripe account — better economics than any merch table at a venue and zero of the friction of running a Shopify store. They also see a leaderboard of who at the venue actually listens to them, which is gold for tour routing and setlist planning.
Three signals. (1) Your past show history — who you've booked, what they sold, attendance. (2) Your fans' real Spotify listening — when they create a profile and connect Spotify, we aggregate their top artists and feed that into the prediction. (3) Real upcoming-tour data from Ticketmaster. The AI looks at all three and ranks artists who fit your room, who your fans already listen to, and who are actually touring near you. Not guesses — grounded.
No. Arpejo runs entirely in the browser as a Progressive Web App. Buy a ticket at the venue's URL, get a QR code by SMS or email, walk in. After the show, sign in to claim your stamp, see your photos, connect Spotify if you want — no App Store install required.
Whatever phone or tablet your door staff already has. The scanner is a web app — no scanner gun, no proprietary terminal, no leasing fees. Same for the runner queue at the bar and the kitchen display for in-show food orders.
It's a guided 30-minute setup with Todd. Connect your Stripe, import your past customer list (CSV), seed your first show, generate your AI booking predictions for fresh ideas. You're live the same day.
