For Music Promoters & Live Show Operators
For music shows and live nights.Where promoters are the distribution.
Live music has always run on promoters. The platform should make that motion clean, per-tier commissions, attribution per ticket, automated payouts. SocialLoop ships the affiliate program native, so the room fills and the math works itself out.
A music show is a live music event (concert, DJ night, recurring residency, festival, or live music night) typically promoter-distributed with tier-based ticketing (GA, premium, VIP, secret artist or label tiers). SocialLoop runs music shows with per-tier promoter commissions, automated Stripe Connect payouts (held until the later of 7 days after the sale or 3 days after the event; paid once the promoter has earned at least $10 in commission and SocialLoop has earned at least $5 in fees from that promoter’s sales), source attribution per ticket at promoter × campaign × link × platform granularity, secret VIP and artist tier allotments, AI captions tailored per platform (Instagram, TikTok, X), and privacy-walled distribution.
How a music show actually moves tickets
A great show is half the work. The other half is who is selling it. Headliner posts to their list, support acts post to theirs, the venue's newsletter, the local promoter network, the dance crew that brings the room, the photographer with the engaged following, every one of those people is a distribution channel with their own audience.
A promoter program needs more than a sales link. SocialLoop connects assigned codes, attributed ticket sales, commission records and supported Stripe payouts, with clear onboarding and payout conditions.
SocialLoop does. The affiliate program is a first-class feature, not a bolt-on. You set commissions per tier, invite promoters by email, they get unique codes and trackable smart links, Stripe Connect handles the payout cycle automatically post-show.
What you get on SocialLoop
Per-tier promoter commissions
Set commission rates per ticket tier. GA at 10%, Premium at 7%, VIP at 5%. Commissions calculate automatically on the effective price (after discount), capped at the ticket price.
Automated Stripe Connect payouts
Each promoter connects their Stripe account during onboarding. Post-show, once the hold ends (the later of 7 days after the sale or 3 days after the event) and the promoter has earned at least $10 in commission, with SocialLoop having earned at least $5 in fees from that promoter’s sales, payouts fire automatically. No Venmo, no spreadsheets, no manual reconciliation.
Secret VIP and artist tiers
Hidden tier allotments only your inner circle, label, or guest list can access. The artist gets 20 +1s on a private code; the public never sees the tier exists.
Source attribution per ticket
Every sale tags promoter × campaign × link × platform. You see exactly which promoter brought which ticket through which channel, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, email, in-person flyer with QR.
AI captions tailored per platform
Each promoter gets AI-generated captions tuned for their distribution platforms, Instagram Reels script, TikTok hook, Twitter thread, Stories DM template. They post; the link routes; attribution captures.
Privacy-walled distribution
Promoters drive bookings without seeing your full attendee list. They see attribution and commission; you keep guest data private. Structural fix to a category-wide trust gap.
Mobile check-in scanner
Door staff scan phones at entry, with more than one scanner at a time.
The pains we built this for
Manual commission reconciliation
After every show, sitting with a spreadsheet adding up which promoter brought which sales and Venmo-ing them their cut. SocialLoop calculates and pays automatically through Stripe Connect.
No attribution for street-team flyers
Three flyers go out, printed venue flyer, Instagram story, TikTok ad. Tickets sell. You have no idea which channel drove what. Smart links with QR codes capture attribution at redirect, even on a printed flyer.
Promoters wanting your guest list
Old-school promoters expect access to your contact list as part of the deal. SocialLoop's privacy-walled distribution lets them drive sales without seeing attendees, eliminating the trust friction.
Common questions
How do promoter commissions work on SocialLoop?
You set commission rates per ticket tier (e.g., 10% on GA, 7% on Premium, 5% on VIP). You invite promoters by email; they connect their Stripe account during onboarding. Each promoter gets a unique promo code (auto-applied at checkout) and a trackable smart link. Every sale tags the promoter; commissions calculate on the effective price (after any discount), capped at the ticket price. Stripe Connect handles the payout cycle automatically post-show once the hold ends (the later of 7 days after the sale or 3 days after the event) and the promoter has earned at least $10 in commission, with SocialLoop having earned at least $5 in fees from that promoter’s sales.
Can I run a tiered commission structure for different promoter levels?
Yes. Different commission rates per ticket tier, plus you can group promoters by level (street team, headline promoter, label rep) and set distinct rates per group. Standard for live music distribution.
What about secret VIP allotments for the artist or label?
Hidden tier allotments are first-class. The artist gets 20 +1s on a private code; the label gets 10 industry seats on a separate code; the public never sees these tiers exist.
How does attribution capture for a printed flyer or QR code?
Smart links route through SocialLoop's redirect layer, which captures source attribution (promoter + campaign + link) at the moment of redirect. Print a QR code on a venue flyer; scans get tagged the same way Instagram clicks do. Attribution per ticket, not per session.
Can promoters see my contact list or guest data?
No. SocialLoop ships privacy-walled affiliate distribution. Promoters see attribution data (sales they drove, commission earned, real-time dashboard) but never the underlying attendee list. This is a structural fix to a category-wide trust gap.
