What SeatMaxx bundles at no extra cost
- All-in price up front on every screen. The first price a buyer sees is the total they pay. Compliant with FTC 16 CFR 464 by design.
- Offline gate scanner. Installable PWA with a cached ticket manifest. Scans in under a second when the arena has no signal.
- Partner program. Enroll feed stores and rodeo queens. They earn cash commissions paid via Stripe Connect. Counter POS included. You set the rate.
- Non-ticket revenue at 4.9% flat. Merch, add-ons, concessions, and contestant entry fees run at 4.9% with no per-unit flat.
- Zero fee on donations. Donations pass through untouched.
- Post-event settlement with a reserve. Payouts release after the gate closes and a chargeback reserve holds. A rained-out rodeo does not become the platform’s liability.
What is honest to say about RodeoTicket
RodeoTicket is a rodeo-specific ticketing platform. Their pricing appears on their marketing site at the number quoted above. Beyond that, we do not characterize their product on this page. If you are evaluating both, ask each vendor the same three questions:
- Is the total the buyer will pay shown as the first price on the storefront?
- Does the gate scanner work with the phone offline for the duration of the rodeo?
- Do partner sellers get paid automatically through the platform, or is that a spreadsheet the treasurer runs?
Start without a demo call.
