Shakedown

Live music already knows how to run its own economy. It has never had rails that belong to it. Shakedown is those rails.

Why this exists

• Live shows are where music actually lives — and where artists actually earn. Streaming pays almost nothing; the room still pays.
• The ticket is the most hostile object in music. Fees of 25–35% on small shows, hidden until the last screen. A barcode that dies the moment it’s scanned, leaving the fan nothing and the artist no way to say thank you.
• The fan who came to forty shows is invisible. No venue can name its regulars. No artist can find the people who were there before the crowds. Decades of devotion, zero record.

What we’re building

A fan buys a ticket in under a minute from a link, with a card. When they walk through the door, that attendance becomes permanent — a stamp they keep forever, accumulating into a history no platform can revoke and no one can fake. The artist and the room see their money moving the morning after, and see who their real fans are.

The record is open on purpose: a fan’s history belongs to the fan.

Where things stand

Shakedown is pre-launch. There is no show on sale yet. This page will change when there is one.
