Posh alternative
The Posh alternative where your crowd stays yours
Posh understood nightlife promoters better than the big platforms ever did — promoter tracking, team tools, a real events marketplace. But that marketplace is the catch: your fans pay roughly 10% in service fees at checkout, become Posh users, and then get marketed every other promoter's events in your city. You're building an audience — inside someone else's funnel.
showhatch keeps what Posh got right and removes the marketplace: promoter links with attribution, team-friendly door tools, VIP tables — on a storefront that carries only your brand, where every buyer lands in your database and nobody remarkets your crowd.

Cheaper for fans, better for you
Fee-free checkout isn't just margin — it's conversion. A $40 ticket that costs $40 converts better than one that surprises fans with $4+ in fees at the last step. And because payouts run through your own Stripe, there's no platform payout schedule between your door and your bank.

Frequently asked
What does Posh charge?
Posh's model passes service fees (commonly around 10%) to ticket buyers at checkout. Organizers get strong promoter tooling in exchange, but fan data and discovery stay inside the Posh marketplace.
Does showhatch have promoter tools like Posh?
Yes — every promoter gets a tracked link, and your admin shows exactly who drove which sales before you split anything. Comp tables and door-discount delegation are built in.
Will my fans notice a difference?
They'll notice the checkout is cheaper and carries your brand. Tickets arrive by email with QR codes; nobody has to join another platform to attend your event.
Can I run showhatch and Posh together?
You can — some promoters keep marketplace listings for discovery while making their own storefront the canonical link in bio, where economics and data are better.
