Demand-driven events

Vote for where your favorite experiences happen

FanSeater lets fans crowdfund demand for live events. Creators launch campaigns, fans vote with small payments, and winning cities unlock priority access — with clear upfront pricing so you always know exactly what you're paying for.

Demand Request

Can't find your favourite music artist?

Request them. Tell us who you want to see and where — we contact music artists once real fan demand builds up, and you'll be first to know if they join.

Not into music? Browse creators and follow the ones you like — we'll notify you the moment they launch a campaign.

How It Works

Three simple steps from idea to live event.

Step 1

Creator launches campaign

A creator sets up a campaign with location options, funding thresholds, a ticketing model, and a raffle mode — FanSeater tickets, external presale, or lite.

Step 2

Fans vote with real stakes

Fans back their city with a small payment (no account needed), held safely in escrow. They always know if their payment includes a ticket, presale code, or is a vote only — and the raffle rules upfront.

Step 3

Winning location confirmed

The first city to hit threshold wins. Overflow bidding and migration stay open until the campaign closes, then a fair raffle assigns fans to shows — escrow releases, presale codes generate, QR tickets are ready.

Payment Clarity

Always know what you're paying for

Every campaign clearly shows whether your payment includes a ticket, a presale code, or is a vote only — so there are no surprises.

✓ Ticket included

Vote + Ticket

Your payment includes your ticket. If the show is confirmed, you're in — with a QR code for entry. If it doesn't reach its goal, full refund. Every backing includes exactly one ticket — one QR code per vote, held in your account. Backers are assigned first; remaining tickets may go on public sale.

Includes: 1 vote + 1 ticket + tier benefits

🎟️ Presale code included

Vote + Presale Access

Your payment secures your vote and a priority presale code. You buy the actual ticket on the ticketing platform during a 48-hour exclusive window. Each backer receives one presale code, tied to their vote and valid during the exclusive presale window. How many tickets you can buy with your code is set by the ticketing platform's presale rules — FanSeater doesn't control ticket limits on external platforms.

Includes: 1 vote + presale code + tier benefits

Vote only

Vote Only

Your payment is a vote to bring the show to your city. Ticket information is shared separately by the creator.

Includes: 1 vote + tier benefits

The creator chooses the model when launching — you'll always see it before you pay.

Flexible Funding

What does "Flexible funding" mean?

Some campaigns show a "Flexible funding" label. This means the creator has set a minimum funding level below the full goal. If the campaign reaches that minimum but not the full target, the creator gets to decide whether to go ahead.

Creator confirms the show

If the creator decides to proceed, your vote is committed — it becomes your ticket or presale access. No refund is issued, because the show is going ahead.

Creator declines or doesn't decide

If the creator decides not to proceed, or doesn't decide within their decision window, every voter is automatically refunded — keep it as credit or withdraw it to your card.

You'll always see the "Flexible funding" label on campaigns where this applies. If a campaign doesn't have it, it's all-or-nothing — the full goal must be met, or everyone gets refunded.

For Fans

Bring the events you want to your city

No more waiting and hoping your city gets picked. Vote to prove demand and unlock priority access.

Step 1

Discover campaigns

Browse campaigns from creators you follow. Each one clearly shows whether your payment includes a ticket, a presale code, or is a vote only — and the raffle mode (fair random or tier-priority) before you commit.

Step 2

Vote — no account needed

Back your city with a small payment. Vote as a guest with just your email, or create an account to manage everything in one place.

Step 3

Get your ticket or presale code

If your city wins, you're sorted — your vote becomes your ticket (with a QR code for entry) or you get a presale code for the ticketing platform.

Step 4

Migrate, swap shows, or refund

Didn't back the winning city? Migrate your vote to it or get a full refund — keep it as credit or withdraw it to your card. The window stays open until the campaign closes. Over-subscribed show? Enter the fair raffle and swap dates with other fans if you need to.

For Creators

Prove demand before you book a venue

Stop guessing which cities want your event. Let fans fund the demand, then book with confidence.

Step 1

Launch a campaign

Create a campaign with multiple location options and set a funding threshold for each city. Choose your ticketing model and your raffle mode — fair random (default) or tier-priority where higher tiers pick first.

Step 2

Fans vote to fund

Fans back their city with small payments — no account required. Watch real-time demand build across locations with live analytics and a venue-fill tracker.

Step 3

Thresholds get hit

When a city reaches its threshold, the event is confirmed. Overflow bidding opens automatically so excess demand can trigger extra shows — up to 3 — before the campaign closes.

Step 4

Fulfill, raffle & check in

Run the raffle to assign fans to shows, let them swap dates peer-to-peer, track fulfillment items per tier, then use the built-in QR scan page to check fans in at the door.

Multi-Show Overflow

When demand outgrows one show, we add more

High demand shouldn't mean disappointed fans. FanSeater automatically scales capacity and uses a fair, transparent raffle so everyone has a shot.

Automatic extra shows

When demand exceeds one show's capacity, FanSeater adds up to 3 shows automatically — no manual venue juggling required.

Fair random raffle

Over-subscribed shows use a random draw by default so every fan has an equal shot at a ticket, regardless of tier.

Tier-priority option

Creators can opt into tier-priority mode, where higher-tier backers pick their show first — a perk for your biggest supporters.

Peer-to-peer show swaps

Fans assigned to a different date can swap with each other directly — same tier only, up to 3 swaps, with a fresh entry code each time.

Windows open until close

Overflow bidding and migration run until the campaign ends — no arbitrary 48-hour cutoff, so fans have time to decide.

Migrate or full refund

Backed a city that didn't win? Move your vote to the winning city or get a full refund — keep it as credit or withdraw it to your card. Your choice, right up to campaign close.

Live venue-fill tracker

Creators see real-time venue fill stats — committed attendees vs. capacity across all planned shows — to decide when to close overflow.

Transparent tier stats

Fans see tier-level vote breakdowns on every campaign, so they know how much demand each tier has before they back.

Random raffle by default — fair for all fans
Tier-priority mode optional for creators
Escrow-protected

Your money is always safe

Every vote is held in escrow until a city hits its threshold. If the campaign doesn't succeed, you get your money back — keep it as FanSeater credit for future campaigns, or withdraw it to your card. Your choice.

Escrow-protected

All votes are held in escrow until thresholds are met. If a campaign fails, you get a full refund — keep it as credit or withdraw it to your card.

QR ticket entry

Backers-only campaigns include QR-coded tickets and a door scan page — no external ticketing needed.

Fair raffles & swaps

Over-subscribed shows use a transparent random draw, and fans can swap show dates peer-to-peer if they need a different night.

Transparent pricing

Every campaign shows exactly what your payment includes: a ticket, a presale code, or a vote only — plus the raffle rules upfront.
