One engine. Three shapes of event.
Venuo is the same tool underneath — create the event, sell the tickets, scan people in. What changes is your room. Find yours below and read how it works in your vocabulary.
The same class, every Saturday.
You teach "Advanced Fermentation Workshop" in a studio that seats twelve. Materials cost money up front, so an early-bird price that closes a week before the session is how you buy jars and cultures without floating the cash yourself. And at the door, you know half the cohort by name.
Duplicate last week's event, move the date, done. The same class every Saturday should take seconds to schedule, not a fresh setup each time.
Early Bird $18 until Mar 7, then General Admission $25. Sale windows open and close on schedule — you never flip a price by hand at midnight.
Twelve attendees, one phone, a name you recognize. Scan the QR or tap the name on the list — the admitted count updates either way.
Two tracks, three tiers, one queue at 9:00.
"Indie Game Dev Meetup #12" is 180 people, a morning and an afternoon track, and a badge table at the door. Your tiers do the persuading: Early Bird drives the decisions that fund the venue deposit, General carries the middle, VIP covers the speaker dinner. Day one starts with a real line at the entrance — and it has to move.
Gone in eleven days. That's the venue deposit covered before March started.
The price everyone sees after early-bird closes. It switches over automatically.
Small quota, speaker dinner included. Scarcity you set, not a gimmick.
Two staff phones scanning, one counting. Each scan prints to the badge table in under a second. If the venue Wi-Fi drops, scans queue on the device and sync when the signal returns.
Donations at the door, volunteers behind it.
"Sunday Community Breakfast" doesn't sell tickets — it suggests a donation, and half the room gives exactly that. The budget is zero or close to it, and the door is run by volunteers who have never seen your setup before this morning. This is a supported way of working on Venuo: a pay-what-you-want ticket is just a ticket type with an open price.
Set a suggested amount, let people adjust it, or come in free. Every admission still gets a QR and a place on the list — a $0 ticket checks in exactly like a $60 one.
Door staff get a check-in-only login: point the phone camera at the QR, see green for admitted, orange for already scanned. No sales, no revenue, nothing else to learn.
Basements and community halls are where phone signal goes to die. Scans keep working offline and sync when the connection comes back — the queue at the door never waits on the network.
Same loop, same money rule, every room.
Every event on Venuo runs the same loop: a public page for your event, ticket types with prices and quotas, buyers who check out with just an email, and a phone camera at the door. Workshops, conferences, breakfasts — the shape changes, the loop doesn't.
No service fee, no per-ticket fee, no percentage. Incumbents take 10–16% of gross — on a $20 ticket that's about $3.12 gone before costs. Venuo charges one flat monthly price and never touches a ticket sale.
Ticket revenue settles directly into the payment account you connect — Venuo never holds it. Your money arrives on your provider's schedule, not ours.
