Event organisers often reach hundreds of people a night but start from zero when the next date is announced. Ticketing platforms handle sales; they are not built to hand you an owned mailing list. Soundbubble is the capture layer: QR Drops at the door, follow-up mailouts while the night is fresh, and Audience CRM so regulars hear about the next event first.
Capture emails at the event, then mail those people before the next on-sale.
The people in the room already like what you do. A subscribe Drop with a QR at the door or on screens turns that into addresses on your list. When the next date is ready, mail them first, or run a ticket waitlist Drop so regulars get access before general release.
No. Keep your ticketing platform. Soundbubble handles the list and mailouts.
Soundbubble is not a ticketing system. Listings and sales can stay where they work today. We help you build and reach an audience that is yours, with Drops for capture and mailouts for announcements.
Keep the ask simple: join the list for line-ups and early access.
A single clear promise works better than a long form at the bar. Subscribe Drops are built for quick sign-up on a phone. You can also embed a small form on your site for people who find you between events.
If you have a CSV from opt-ins or exports, import into Audience CRM.
Resident Advisor has a dedicated importer for ticket buyers who opted in to marketing. For every other ticketing platform, export your opt-in or attendee list as a CSV and import it in a few clicks. Soundbubble validates addresses before you send. Common exports include DICE, Eventbrite, Skiddle, Headfirst, Shotgun, WeGotTickets, Weezevent, and Ticket Tailor, and more.
Mailchimp sends email well, but it was not built for a promoter capturing sign-ups on the night, importing ticket opt-ins, and mailing line-ups before the next on-sale. Soundbubble sits alongside your ticketing. We are not a box office.
| What you need | Mailchimp for event promoters | Soundbubble |
|---|---|---|
| After the event | Import a CSV if you exported opt-ins. No built-in capture flow for the room itself. | Sign-ups you capture via Drops and subscribe forms are yours in Audience CRM. |
| Announcing the next date | Mail your list with generic templates. Line-ups, ticket links and early-access timing are manual. | Mail your list first. Offer pre-release ticket access through a Drop before general sale. |
| On the night | Embed a signup form on a landing page, or collect emails elsewhere and import later. | QR on the bar or door to a subscribe Drop. One scan, one clear ask. |
| Year-round comms | Capable email tool. Event line-ups and show blocks are not the default template model. | Mailouts with event templates, line-up blocks and ticket links. |
| Lists from ticketing | You can export your audience as CSV on every plan, including free. Ticket-buyer opt-ins need a separate import workflow. | Import opt-ins from ticketing exports and Resident Advisor. Validate addresses before you send. |
Each feature has its own page if you want the detail. These are the parts labels and artists typically wire together first.
Most platforms hand you a CSV when buyers opt in to hear from you. Resident Advisor goes further with a dedicated importer.
Bring ticket buyers and sign-ups from the platforms you already use.
