A SIMPLER SOLUTION
Creative work is not easy, especially when you’re trying to put it in front of a live audience. Whether you’re a solo performer, a collaborator, or someone working behind-the-scenes to make shows happen, it takes countless hours and megatons of energy to make it great. The last thing most creators want to spend their limited time and budget on is ticketing.
We started Gobo with a mission to make selling tickets the easiest part of putting on a show, so independent performers and presenters can focus on the good stuff: writing, rehearsing, producing, promoting, and actually doing your event. Our platform is built from the ground up to make online box office services easy and affordable, no matter what kind of venue or creative medium you’re working in.
CLOSING THE GAP FOR SHOW MAKERS
While ticket sales have rebounded since 2020, actual inflation-adjusted income from live performance is still below 80% of pre-pandemic levels.

“
I’ve been selling tickets for 20 years and was never happy with the tools available. So I decided to do something about it.”
