Get paid

Connect Stripe so the money comes to you

Hook up Stripe Connect in a few minutes and ticket revenue lands directly in your bank account — BuzzHive never holds your funds. Throwing a free show? You can skip this entirely.

Standard Stripe Connect onboarding, about 3–5 minutes
Choose your payout schedule — keep a balance and cash out yourself, or auto-deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
You keep the full ticket price — buyers cover the card processing fee at checkout
Free ($0) events don’t need Stripe at all

Build it

Create your first event

Add the basics — name, date, venue, flyer — then build your tickets. Spin up as many tiers as you want, set the rules, and publish when you’re ready.

Unlimited ticket tiers: GA, VIP, early-bird, presale
Set quantity, price, and per-order limits on each tier
Layer on discount codes, scan windows, even reserved seating

Make it yours

Pick a vibe & customize the page

Your event page should look like your night, not a checkout form. Start from a vibe template built for the underground, then make it yours.

Choose a vibe template that matches your scene
Tune accent colors, fonts, flyer style, and your buy-button text
Paste a Spotify or SoundCloud link — it auto-embeds so fans hear the lineup before they buy

Your crowd

Import your email lists

You already have a following — bring it with you. Import your own email lists (past buyers, your mailing list) and send campaigns to them straight from BuzzHive.

Upload your own contacts — they’re yours, always
Send announcement & reminder blasts from inside BuzzHive

Promote

Fire up the Run Up

The Run Up is your free promo engine for the weeks leading up to a show. Pick an event and it writes you four ready-to-post caption options plus a custom promo image — fresh every week, with your ticket link already baked in.

Four AI caption options + a custom image per event, every week
Your ticket link is built into every post
Prefer your own words? Write your own post & upload your own image anytime — no weekly limit

Autopilot

Connect your socials to the Run Up

Want BuzzHive to actually post for you? Connect your accounts once and the Run Up auto-posts to your Facebook Page and Instagram. You stay in full control — it runs through your own Meta app, completely separate from BuzzHive.

One-time setup using your own Meta app credentials
Fully separate from BuzzHive — your accounts, your app
Set it once and every future event auto-posts on schedule

Reach

Cross-share to your groups

The scene lives in the group chats and Facebook groups. Cross-share turns posting your event across all of them from a 20-minute chore into a few taps.

Register the Facebook groups you promote in, once
Get one-tap open-&-paste buttons for each group
Use the Meta Business Suite multi-publish shortcut to hit them all in ~30 seconds, and check off what you’ve posted
Set up cross-share →
That’s the whole flow

Now run
your show.

Free account, free tools, zero platform fee on free events — and the more of us who run on it, the bigger our shared reach. We are the underground, and we are expanding.
