AttendStar — Event Planning

What is AttendStar?

AttendStar is an all-in-one event ticketing, marketing, and logistics platform designed to simplify the complexities of live events. It helps organizers sell tickets, manage check-ins, and streamline on-site operations, with a focus on eliminating common pain points like delayed payouts, hidden fees, and vendor lock-in. Trusted by over 8,000 live events, AttendStar positions itself as a partner that handles the details so organizers can focus on delivering a great experience.

What problem does it solve?

Event organizers often struggle with DIY ticketing tools that require technical setup, cause delays in revenue access, and lack reliable on-site support. AttendStar addresses these issues by offering a platform with daily payouts via Stripe, no long-term contracts, and optional hardware and connectivity for smooth check-ins. Its tiered pricing lets event organizers choose the level of service they need—from basic online ticketing to full-service support—without paying for features they don't use.

Who is it for?

AttendStar is ideal for event organizers who want more than just a ticketing link—they need a partner from setup to showtime. It's particularly well-suited for events that value flexibility, such as festivals, conferences, fundraisers, and community events, and for those who want to avoid the complexity of managing hardware and connectivity themselves. It is less suitable for very small, simple events that only need a free or low-cost ticketing widget with no additional services.

Real use cases

For a standard-tier event, organizers can bundle durable scanners and private 5G connectivity to speed up entry lines. For a full-service event, AttendStar's in-house team can handle marketing campaigns and ticket buyer support, freeing staff to focus on operations. Even with the basic tier, event organizers get custom-branded ticket pages and a mobile scanner app that works offline—ensuring reliable check-ins at any venue.

• Full Ticketing Platform Access — Sell tickets, manage sales, and track performance with live reporting and real-time data.
• Mobile Scanner App — Scan tickets by name or QR code, even without internet access, for fast and reliable check-ins.
• Custom-Branded Ticket Pages — Create event pages that reflect your brand, boosting buyer confidence and conversion.
• Daily Payouts via Stripe — Get ticket revenue directly to your account fast, with no holds or delays.
• Bundled Durable Scanners (Standard Tier) — Eliminate rental fees with included hardware that works for any event size or venue.
• Private 5G and Cellular Connectivity (Standard Tier) — Guarantee stable, high-speed internet for smooth operations, even in remote locations.
• Event Organizer Support — Receive expert help during setup and on event day to keep operations running smoothly.
