Why Marquee

Three things no other event platform does together

Eventbrite is a form. Posh is a flyer. Marquee is the whole night.

Reveal Engine

Drop the address when the hype peaks

Turn secrecy into demand. Keep the venue hidden, then auto-drop the exact location to everyone on the list — by text and email — at showtime. Progressive lineup reveals, a text-to-join phone tree, and refer-to-unlock mechanics keep the anticipation building.

  • Gated location reveal on a schedule
  • Text / call a keyword to join the list
  • Refer friends to unlock the address
  • Progressive lineup & tier reveals
Trust & Safety

Know who's walking in

The only event platform with built-in guest vetting. Require ID verification or FCRA-compliant background checks for members-only clubs, singles nights, luxury private parties, and any room where safety matters. Approve the list before you drop the pin.

  • ID verification (light) or full background check
  • FCRA-compliant screening via Persona
  • Per-event vetting rules & approval queue
  • We store pass/fail — never raw ID docs
Promoter Growth

Your network is your box office

Recruit promoters, set their commission, and hand each one a personal link with real-time attribution. Blast past guests over SMS (they actually open it), and watch reveals turn every attendee into a marketer.

  • Affiliate promoter links + commissions
  • Built-in SMS CRM to past attendees
  • Live sales attribution per promoter
  • Instant payouts through Stripe Connect
How it works

From flyer to sold-out in four steps

01
Create your event

Spin up a themed, branded event page in minutes. Tiers, add-ons, lineup — all yours.

02
Set reveal & vetting rules

Choose how the location drops and who gets approved. Mystery and safety, dialed in.

03
Promoters share their links

Your network sells for you. Track every ticket back to the promoter who drove it.

04
Drop the location

At showtime Marquee texts the address to the vetted list — minus anyone who opted out.

Pricing

Priced to sell out, not to nickel-and-dime

A marketplace fee per ticket, plus optional plans. Vetting is billed per check at cost + a small margin.

FAQ

The details

How do payouts work?+

Every promoter connects a Stripe account. Marquee takes its fee at checkout and routes the rest to you — instantly on Pro, or on a schedule you pick.

Is guest vetting actually legal?+

Yes. Background checks run through an FCRA-compliant provider (Persona) with the required consent and disclosures. We only store the pass/fail result — never your guests' ID documents.

Do attendees need to download an app?+

No. They buy a ticket or text a keyword, then get the location by text at showtime. Zero friction, zero app.

What kinds of events is this for?+

Underground raves, warehouse parties, supper clubs, members-only clubs, singles & dating nights, luxury private events — anywhere mystery, exclusivity, or safety matters.

Can I still sell on Eventbrite?+

Sure. Many organizers run Marquee alongside other tools and import their list. The reveal and vetting only live here.

Make them want in.

Launch your first reveal in minutes. Get paid through Stripe. Keep the location a secret until the moment it counts.
