FAQ

Questions organizations ask before switching.

Is On The Stage really free to use?

Yes — ticketing, box office, and marketing tools are free. OTS earns revenue through optional fan-paid fees, so your venue can run every show without paying a cent.

How fast do we get paid after a show?

OTS offers daily direct deposits, so your revenue lands in your account quickly — no waiting weeks for a single lump-sum payout like other leading platforms.

Do we own our fan data, or does OTS keep it?

Your fan data is yours. Unlike third-party marketplaces, OTS gives you first-party fan data you can use to build your own following and drive repeat visits.

Can OTS handle general admission, reserved seating, or a mix of both?

Yes. OTS supports GA, reserved, and custom seating configurations — so however you run your room, your box office runs the same reliable way.

Can OTS manage multiple venues or stages running events at the same time?

Yes. OTS supports multiple venues and stages running simultaneous events, so you can manage box office, ticketing, and reporting across every room from one platform.
