Built by promoters. Not by shareholders.
Scope exists because every other platform takes a cut, hides the real price, and lets scalpers gut the room. We do the opposite. Here's the whole manifesto - share it in the group chat.
Low flat fees, shown honestly
Our booking fee keeps the lights on. The price shown on the ticket page is the price that leaves your account - nothing new appears at the checkout step.
No scalpers, ever
Hard ticket caps per customer. No bots bulk-buying the room. Tickets go to people who'll actually be at the show, not parasites flipping them for double.
No dynamic pricing
The promoter sets the price. Not an algorithm. Not demand. A ticket is a ticket - it doesn't cost more just because the show's selling.
Money back to the show
Profits flow back to promoters, bands and venues. Scope takes a small fee to run the platform and gives the rest back to the people actually putting on the show.
Official merch partner: Wrong Side Merch
Scope is independent, built by people who go to these shows. We partner with Wrong Side Merch, who have been repping independent music properly for years. Tickets and merch in the same place, all built so the money stays with the people who earned it.
How the tickets and the money work
The booking fee is flat and it is on the screen before you pay. It covers servers and card processing. We're not trying to grow into a billion-pound company. We're trying to stay a useful tool for the people putting on shows.
One price, set by the promoter, and it stays there. A ticket for a sold-out show costs the same as the first one sold, because no algorithm gets a say in it.
We don't let scalpers in. Per-customer caps kill bulk-buying. If you see a ticket for a show on here, it's face value. If you see it for double on some reseller site, that's not us - and we'll cancel that ticket where we can.
We let fans resell fairly. A fan cannot make the show? They list their ticket through Scope at face value, and the old QR dies the moment it sells. Scope handles the refund, the new ticket and the QR. The price never moves. See how resale works.
