We built Bounce because we were tired of the status quo. After years of hosting our own events — from sweaty basement parties to sold-out venue takeovers — we knew exactly what event creators needed. And we knew that existing platforms weren't delivering.
This is the story of why we built Bounce, and why we believe it's the best choice for event creators who want more from their ticketing platform.
Born from the frustration of actually hosting events
We didn't start Bounce in a boardroom. We started it after one too many nights staring at spreadsheets, calculating how much of our hard-earned revenue was disappearing into platform fees. After too many support tickets that went nowhere. After realising that the platforms we relied on didn't actually understand what we needed.
Every feature in Bounce exists because we needed it ourselves. We're not building for hypothetical users — we're building for people like us.
Why Bounce is the best choice for event creators
We don't say this lightly. Here's why Bounce stands apart from other ticketing platforms:
1. Industry-low fees that respect your margins
Most platforms charge 10-15% in combined fees. We charge just 7% — one of the lowest rates in the industry. Every percentage point matters when you're trying to build a sustainable business.
2. Payouts you can actually rely on
No more waiting 30+ days for your money. Bounce processes payouts just 7 days after your event ends, minus any refunds. Your money shouldn't be held hostage — you earned it, you should have access to it.
3. Tools built for real event workflows
Browser-based QR code scanning on any smartphone. Multiple ticket tiers with flexible pricing. A promoter network that lets others help sell your event. Analytics that show you ticket sales and revenue over time. These aren't afterthoughts — they're core features.
4. Support from people who get it
When something goes wrong an hour before doors, you need humans who understand. Not chatbots. Not ticket systems. Actual help from people who've been in your shoes.
5. No hidden fees or surprise charges
What you see is what you get. No setup costs, no monthly minimums on our free plan, no fine print designed to catch you out. Transparency isn't just a buzzword for us — it's how we operate.
This is just the beginning
Bounce launched to solve the problems we experienced firsthand. But we're not stopping there. Our roadmap is shaped by what creators actually need:
- Faster payouts (we're working on it)
- Better marketing tools to help you fill venues
- Audience insights that help you grow
- Integrations with the tools you already use
We're building this platform alongside the creators who use it. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
