For independents. By independents.
Mission-built ticketing and event management for live music venues. $0.75 flat per ticket. No contracts. Ever.
Three things that won't change.
Mission-built
Founded by a veteran NYC venue owner/operator and a NIVA founding board member — not a serial entrepreneur. We're a company that has the best interests of venues, promoters, artists, and fans at heart and we are not beholden to any outside investors looking for outsized returns.

Word of mouth.
Almost every venue on VenuePilot got here because another venue told them about us. We've grown organically — no contracts to hide behind, no signing bonuses to sweeten the pitch. Just operators talking to operators.
Cactus Club is exceptionally proud to use VenuePilot as our ticketing platform. Their team is responsive, cares about people and outcomes, and has a comprehensive understanding of music industry mechanics. Their operation is rooted in trust — no contracts, direct and reliable pricing, and an easy interface.
VenuePilot is more than tech, they're partners of mine, using their extensive venue operator experience to support me in finding real solutions as I navigate the daily challenges of our industry.
VenuePilot's outstanding client support and innovative features have played an integral role in our success. As we expand, VenuePilot's reliable platform and cutting-edge technology give us the confidence to grow. Highly recommended for any venue seeking a dependable technology and ticketing partner.
"VC-backed ticketing companies aren't built to last."
I co-founded (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York. I've sat on NIVA's founding board since the pandemic. I built the first version of VenuePilot as an internal tool for venues like ours — then realized everyone needed it.
We've never taken VC. We never will. We exist to keep as many hands out of your pockets as possible.
