Showclix.com - Selling Tickets to A General Admission Show
If you're ever in a "play for pay" situation, ther are times when things get a bit sticky when it comes to count the number of tickets sold, who holds the money etc. Well there is a new solution and its from www.showclix.com
The offers the ability to add events (gigs) AND sell tickets to the show (minimum selling price of $5.00 for which they take .50). SHowclix does tack on a processing fee of $2.00 but unlike Ticketmaster that per transaction (not per ticket). So if you buy 1 ticket it's $2 fee, if you buy 10 tickets (the most allowed) its a $2 fee. That fee is in addition to your cost (so you're not paying for it).
While other sites charge a set up fee, there is no such thing.
Venues could sign up as an event producer, enter a gig, and enter their venue. From that point forward other artists can now use their information if they play the same venue.
While the site is only less than a month old (as of 5/06) it has potential and I spoke with the owner and he is all about supporting local musicians, and helping the local scene.
