How Comedian Call Works

How It Works

From Pledge to Packed Room

Comedians prove demand, fans pledge seats, cards charge only after the goal is reached, and QR tickets lock at the door.

How It Works

1 Comedian Creates

Comedian creates a show campaign.

2 Fans Pledge

Fans pledge their intent to attend.

3 Goal Reached

The pledge goal is reached.

4 Cards Charged

Fans are charged only if the goal is met.

5 Tickets Sent

Tickets are emailed automatically to fans.

6 Show Happens

Everyone enjoys an amazing comedy show.

Payment and ticket flow

All-in fan price

The comedian chooses the total ticket price the fan sees.

$1 platform ticket fee

Comedian Call keeps the platform ticket-manager fee from the sale, not as a separate buyer add-on.

QR/hash ticket

The QR points back to a signed website link for live permission and ticket-state validation.

One valid scan

First scan locks the ticket. Repeat scans show when it was first checked in.

Event team access

Extra comedians, event admins, and door staff can be invited to the same event.

Venue window

Approved venue users can scan only their venue tickets inside the show-day window.

Scanner locks tickets after first use

First scan wins

A valid ticket changes to checked-in once and stores the first scan timestamp.

Duplicate warning

Fast double scans and duplicate prints show the first check-in time instead of passing again.

Permission scoped

Comedians cannot scan unrelated tickets unless invited to that event or approved by venue rules.

Venue and door staff permissions

Venue scoped

Approved venue users can scan only tickets for events assigned to their venue.

Time window

Venue scanning opens four hours before the show and stays scoped to that event.

Admin approval

Comedians can recommend a location; admins approve before venue invites go out.
