BuzzHive
Stand with the undergroundTHE UNDERGROUND VS. CORPORATE TICKETING
Draw the line. Stand with the underground.
A federal jury found Live Nation ran an illegal monopoly. Eventbrite got sold to a holding company. Every fee you pay them feeds the machine you stand against. BuzzHive is built by a promoter and run for promoters, because the scene belongs to the people who fill the room.
- Your money hits your Stripe at the sale
- Your crowd stays yours, never theirs
- Every tool unlocked, $0 a month
WHO THEY ARE
They profit off a scene they never built.
Look at who is really selling your tickets.
A jury called it a monopoly
In April 2026 a federal jury found Live Nation and Ticketmaster ran an illegal monopoly that overcharged fans.
Sold to a holding company
Eventbrite was bought by Bending Spoons in 2026, the same owner that laid off 75% of WeTransfer's staff after buying it.
Renting your own crowd
Your buyer list lives on someone else's platform, and walking away means starting from zero.
BuzzHive was built by a working promoter who refused to keep feeding them.

FAQ
The questions every promoter asks first.
Is it really free?
Yes. $0 a month and all 330 promotion tools unlocked. Buyers pay a small fee at checkout ($0.99 + 2% per paid ticket), so you keep your full ticket price. Free events have no fee at all.
Who holds my money?
You do. Ticket money goes straight to your own Stripe account at each sale. BuzzHive never holds your funds.
Can I bring my list with me?
Yes. Upload a CSV or paste your list in minutes, and export it any time. Your buyers stay yours.
Are there contracts?
None. No setup fee and no contract. Close your account any time.
How long does setup take?
About 15 minutes from sign-up to a live event page you can share.
