For events, studios and venues
Your own ticketing and booking platform, from the team that built The SBK Dance.
Branded event listings, tickets, check-in and payouts on a platform you own — built from the same building blocks that run The SBK Dance, the live events marketplace we designed, built and still operate.

Why your own platform
When the platform is the business.
Off-the-shelf ticketing tools are the right answer for many organisers. They stop being the right answer when the platform is the business: when you want your own brand in front of buyers, control over pricing and fees, features that match how your events actually run, or other organisers selling through you.
That is the product we have already built. The SBK Dance lets dancers discover salsa, bachata and kizomba events and buy tickets, and lets organisers list events, sell tickets and get paid — with Stripe checkout, refunds and payouts, map-based discovery, organiser dashboards and separate roles for dancers, organisers and admins.
We bring that experience to your platform: a focused first release that sells real tickets, then steady improvements driven by how your organisers and buyers use it.
Who it’s for
Built for people who run events.
Event organisers and promoters
Sell tickets under your own brand, keep the customer relationship, and see every order in one dashboard.
Festivals and weekenders
Several ticket types, early-bird tiers, capacity limits and fast QR check-in at the door.
Dance, fitness and yoga studios
Classes, workshops and socials in one place, with bookings, attendance and payments that reconcile.
Marketplaces for other organisers
Let many organisers list and sell on your platform, with payouts to each of them — the model The SBK Dance runs on.
What you get
Everything between the listing and the door.
The same building blocks that run The SBK Dance, shaped around how your events work.
Listings and discovery
Event pages built to be found in search, with filters by date, city, style and price, and map-based discovery.
Ticket types and capacity
Paid and free tickets, early-bird tiers and capacity limits designed so a ticket can’t be sold twice when demand spikes.
Stripe checkout and payouts
Card payments, refunds and payouts to you or to each organiser, with webhooks reconciled against your own order records.
QR check-in
QR-coded confirmations and a fast check-in flow for the door, so queues move and attendance is recorded.
Organiser dashboards
Create and manage events, track sales and attendance, and message attendees from one place.
Roles and permissions
Buyers, organisers, door staff and admins each see and do exactly what their role needs.

Ticketing & booking platforms: your questions
Straight answers on cost, payments and ownership.
A focused first release — event listings, ticket types, Stripe checkout, QR check-in and an organiser dashboard — sits within our usual MVP range of £15k–£60k, depending on scope. Discovery gives you a fixed price for the first phase.
