Music venues programme month after month, but the audience often lives with ticket platforms, promoters and social channels instead of in-house. Soundbubble helps venues capture sign-ups in the space they own, send listings mailouts, and build a crowd that outlives any single booking.
Capture opt-ins in the room you control, every night you are open.
Promoters will always bring their networks. A subscribe Drop with a permanent QR in your space gives the venue its own list: people who want the full programme, not just one night. That list compounds across bookings.
Yes. That is one of the main jobs venues use Soundbubble for.
Put every show in the building into one send. Regulars hear from the venue directly, not only when a promoter they follow posts.
No. Keep your ticketing and listings where they work today.
Soundbubble is not a ticketing system. Use it to grow and mail the audience that belongs to the room. RA embeds work on Sites if you want listings on your venue home.
Start on the free tier. 500 emails a month and a mini site on your handle.
Grassroots venues operate on thin margins. Free accounts let you test space capture and a first listings mailout before upgrading.
Mailchimp sends newsletters, but it was not built for a venue running monthly programme mailouts, in-room capture and a crowd that belongs to the room. Soundbubble is built for the operator who owns the space and needs a list that outlives any single booking.
| What you need | Mailchimp | Soundbubble |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly listings | Manual newsletter builds or sporadic social posts. | Event templates for the full programme in one mailout to your list. |
| Capture in the room | Depends on each promoter's Instagram or a paper list at the door. | A permanent QR on the bar, door or screens. Working every night you are open. |
| Audience ownership | Split across promoters, ticket platforms and social channels. | Subscribers who opted in to hear from the venue, exportable as CSV. |
| Between bookings | Quiet weeks unless each promoter posts for their own night. | A venue list for the whole programme, not just one promoter's followers. |
| Lists from ticketing | CSV import works, but no workflow tuned for ticket-buyer opt-ins or show segments. | 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.
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.
No. We help you capture and mail an audience. Ticket sales stay with RA, DICE, Eventbrite, Skiddle or wherever you sell today.
No. One venue account can tag sign-ups by drop or source while keeping a single programme list.
Yes. Sites support RA embeds alongside your own event blocks.
