For people who run nights

The door, the tickets and the count — on one phone, with or without signal.

A show on PublicSh is a door you scan, a list you hold, and a night you can read afterwards. Free doors, guest lists, holds for friends and table space for sellers are all here now.

Open today: free doors, guest lists, holds, the scanner, the report. Card ticket sales open when the switch does — nobody is charged until then.

The door

Scan people in, on your phone

  • The camera is the door

    Point a phone at a ticket and it says who is in front of you — and says, in words, when a code is somebody else's, already inside, or for another night. Type the code when the camera can't.

  • Works with no signal

    Keep the list on the device before doors. Scans still answer in a basement; what happened is sent on when the signal returns, in order.

  • A guest list that is a list

    Put somebody on the door for nothing, with a note only you and the door can see. Comps, crew and the promoter's plus-one live beside the paid places, not in a text thread.

The tickets

Places, not seats

  • Room, stream, or both

    A ticket admits somebody to the room, to the broadcast, or to both — with a cap if you set one and a hold while they pay. Card sales open when the switch does; a free door works today.

  • Places for friends

    One of your people holds places for the table — paid now, or held with a link each so every friend pays their own. Whoever opens a link takes the place.

  • Table space for sellers

    Sell a spot at the merch table as a ticket only a seller can buy. Their shop attaches to your night; their sales are theirs, and the platform's share is what it always is.

  • Your refund rule, stated

    No refunds, refunds until a set time before doors, or ask the host — chosen per show, printed on the show page and on every ticket. When you do refund, the buyer gets the whole price back.

The night, afterwards

Counted, not estimated

  • How each night went

    Admitted, sales, taken, cues — from records, never estimates. Online viewers are counted apart and never enter the room's attendance.

  • What you keep

    The price you set is what a buyer pays. Tax, the platform's share and card processing come out of it as their own lines, so the number you see is the number you keep.

Run the next one here.

Set the door, the tickets and the rule. The scanner and the report come with it.
