Case studies

Powering STACC's nights across the North.

A live music promoter from St Andrews, now running nights across Scotland. Every ticket, queue and door scan goes through EventTickets.

A small room, on purpose.

STACC keeps capacity deliberately low: good sound for a tight community in Scotland. New dates are announced to their WhatsApp community first, so most of a release sells in the first few minutes.

That is the hardest shape of on-sale there is. Far more people tap the same link at once than the room can hold. EventTickets queue systems were built exactly for that scenario.

What STACC needed

  • Survive the minute a drop goes live on WhatsApp
  • Raise the price as each release sells through
  • A cheaper rate for St Andrews students
  • Fast, duplicate-proof entry at the door
  • Keep buyers on STACC's own site and brand

How a STACC release runs.

A queue for every drop

When the link goes out, buyers join a line in the order they arrived. A set number check out at a time, each with a held place, so the site stays up and nobody pays for a ticket that has already gone.

15

buyers in checkout at once

8 min

to pay before a place is released

Prices that step up

Each release closes on its date or when it sells out.

  • Early bird£5.00
  • Final release£9.00

Student codes

St Andrews students enter a code at checkout. Uses are only counted once payment is confirmed.
