Memberships

Get paid monthly by your regulars.
Not just per ticket.

Jambo lets you sell a monthly membership to your crowd. Members scan in at the door, claim free tickets to your events, or both. No other ticketing platform does this.

Free to set up. No monthly software fee. Ticketing optional.

Recurring revenue that your ticketing platform never offered you

Events reset your revenue to zero every time. A membership does not. It bills on its own every month, it gives your regulars a reason to pick you over the bar down the street, and it turns a crowd you have already earned into income you can count on before doors open.

Ticketing platforms

Sell a ticket, take a fee, and stop there. Your best customer and a stranger who found you last night are worth exactly the same to your account.

Membership tools

Built for newsletters and creators. They can charge a card every month, but they know nothing about your door, your staff, or the show you are running Friday.

Jambo

Memberships, ticketing, door scanning, and payouts on one account. The membership you sell today is honored at your door tonight and against your events all month.

Use it on its own, use it with ticketing, or use it for both

A membership on Jambo stands on its own. It bills whether or not you have an event on the calendar, and you decide what it gets someone: entry at your door, free tickets to your events, or both.

Standalone

Memberships without any ticketing

If your events are free at the door, or you do not run ticketed events at all, memberships still work. The membership is the product. Your members pay monthly and get scanned in when they show up.

  • No event required. Put a plan on your page and start selling today
  • Door staff scan a member from any phone, with no extra hardware
  • You decide how many member check-ins are included per day, week, or month
  • Works for a bar with regulars, a run club, a social club, or a members-only night

With ticketing

Memberships wired into your ticket tiers

When you do sell tickets on Jambo, any tier can be marked redeemable by a membership. Members see a claim button on the event page and get in free, while everyone else buys normally.

  • Pick exactly which tiers a membership covers, tier by tier
  • Members claim from their phone and get a real scannable ticket
  • One claim per tier per member, so a membership cannot drain an allocation
  • Free covers and season-pass style access both come from the same setting

Most organizations end up running both. A $20 plan that covers the door every week and throws in a free ticket to the monthly headliner is one plan, set up once.

From idea to first member in an afternoon

1

Create the plan

Name it, describe what members get, set the monthly price, and set how many member check-ins are included per day, week, or month. Takes a couple of minutes in the dashboard.

2

Put it on your page

Choose which of your pages advertise and honor the plan. The membership shows up on your public Jambo page with a button to join, indexed by search engines like the rest of your page.

3

Members join and pay monthly

They subscribe with a saved card in a few taps, on the web or in the app. Billing renews on its own every month and they can cancel themselves whenever they want.

4

They use it, you get paid

Members scan in at your door or claim their free tickets, and every paid month is transferred to your connected bank account. Every redemption is recorded against the membership.

You set the terms

A membership on Jambo is not a template. Every part of what it costs, where it works, and what it gets you is yours to configure.

Your price, your payout

Set any monthly price from $1 up. Jambo's service fee is added on top of what the member pays, so the amount you set is the amount you receive.

Included check-ins

Allow one visit a week, three a month, or a check-in every single day. When a member runs out for the period, the door scan says so instead of letting them in.

Which locations honor it

Plans belong to your organization. Point one at a single bar or at every page you run, and change it later without touching anyone who already joined.

Which tickets it redeems

Tier by tier, decide what a membership covers. Leave it empty and the plan stays a door-only membership.

Your member list

See who has joined, when they started, and where each membership stands, all from the same dashboard you run your events in.

Retire a plan safely

Archiving stops new signups without cutting off current members. Restore it whenever you want it back on your page.

What memberships cost you

Nothing up front, nothing monthly. Memberships are priced the same way ticketing is: you set the amount you want to receive, and Jambo’s service fee of 7% + $1.79 is added on top of what the member is charged. Your payout is the full price you set.

Example: a $25 per month membership

Price you set$25.00
Service fee added for the member (7% + $1.79)$3.54
Member is charged monthly (before tax)$28.54
You receive every month$25.00

Applicable sales tax is added on top of that amount, and Jambo handles collection and remittance. Payouts go to the same connected bank account as your ticket revenue.

Membership questions, answered

Do I have to sell tickets on Jambo to offer memberships?+

No. Memberships work on their own. You can create a plan, put it on your Jambo page, and have members pay you monthly without ever publishing an event. Plenty of spots run it this way, where the membership is the product and the door is the only place it gets used. If you do sell tickets on Jambo, memberships plug straight into them.

How does a member prove they are a member at the door?+

Your door staff scans the member's code from a phone. Jambo confirms the membership is active, that your location honors that plan, and that the member still has check-ins left for the current period. Nothing to look up, no list to keep at the host stand.

Can a membership include free tickets to my events?+

Yes. On any ticket tier you create, you pick which membership plans can redeem it. Members of those plans see a claim button on the event page and get the ticket free. Each member can claim one ticket per tier, so a membership that covers cover charge does not empty your VIP allocation.

What stops someone from using their membership every night?+

You set how many member check-ins are included and over what window: per day, per week, or per month. Once a member hits the limit, the scan comes back as no scans left rather than a valid entry. Every redemption is recorded against that membership, so the usage is there to look at.

Can one membership be honored at more than one venue?+

Yes. Plans belong to your organization, and you choose which of your pages advertise and honor each one. A group with three bars can sell a single membership good at all three, or a separate plan per location, or both at once.

What happens to current members if I change the price?+

They keep the price they joined at. A price change applies to people who subscribe after the change. Existing members stay on the rate they locked in until they cancel.

Can I run more than one membership tier?+

Yes. Create as many plans as you want, each with its own price, description, included check-ins, locations, and redeemable ticket tiers. A common setup is a cheap tier that covers cover charge and a higher tier that includes tickets to every show.

How and when do I get paid?+

Every time a member's monthly payment goes through, your share is transferred to the bank account you already connected for ticket payouts. There is no separate account to set up and no invoicing on your end.

What does it cost me to sell memberships?+

Nothing up front and no monthly software fee. You set the monthly price you want to receive, and Jambo's service fee is added on top of what the member is charged, so your payout is the full price you set.

Can members cancel whenever they want?+

Yes. Members cancel from their account on the web or in the Jambo app. The membership stays usable through the end of the month they already paid for, then stops renewing.

What kinds of businesses use this?+

Bars and nightclubs with regulars, comedy clubs, live music venues, run clubs and social clubs, breweries and taprooms, recurring party series, and organizers who run enough events that their fans would rather pay once a month than buy a ticket every week.

Can I stop offering a plan without cutting off the people who have it?+

Yes. Archiving a plan closes it to new members while everyone who already has it keeps it and keeps getting billed. You can restore it later if you want it back on your page.
