02·Room-fit scoring

Signal, measured against your room.

Scoring models read the artist's audience against your capacity, market and genres and return an explainable verdict — the factors are one click away, and it will tell you to walk away when the data says so.

  • —BLS scores — an artist–venue signal that opens into its factors
  • —A venue-blind read on the act itself, for comparison across rooms
  • —Side-by-side comparison of up to four artists

The audience is already in your market and the room is the right size. Every factor opens on click.

03·Ticketing data

All your sales data, joined.

Your sales live in silos — one platform per show, sometimes two, plus a box-office spreadsheet. brightlights reconciles them into one deduplicated ledger, so every dashboard reads the whole business.

  • —API sync from major platforms, CSV import for everything else
  • —Orders deduplicated across platforms — every ticket counted once
  • —Per-show dashboards: gross, sell-through, sales pace
04·Audience analytics

Know who's actually buying.

Once the sales data lives in one place, the audience comes into focus: your best buyers across every show and platform, and where they actually live — resolved city by city.

  • —Top buyers and segments across all shows and platforms
  • —Buyer geography against a 233,000-city index
  • —Owner-private — your data never powers anyone else's results

FAQ

Fair questions, straight answers.

Live. Artist profiles refresh the moment you open them, connected ticketing syncs automatically, and alerts fire on real signal changes — you're never reading last quarter's numbers.

A signal rating, from Excellent down to Caution, for one artist in one venue, produced by scoring models that read live data — local draw, return potential, streaming momentum, genre fit, market fanbase, social reach, routing and buzz. Every score opens into the factors behind it, so you can interrogate it instead of trusting it blindly.

Yes. The engine is genre-agnostic and every score is computed relative to your capacity and your market — a 300-cap listening room in a college town and a 3,000-cap hall in a capital city get equally honest answers.

No — research, scoring and discovery work from day one. Connecting ticketing (API sync from major platforms, CSV import for the rest) unlocks the sales ledger, per-show dashboards and audience analytics.

Only you. Every show, ticket order and shortlist is scoped to your account, and integration credentials are encrypted at rest. Your booking strategy is your competitive edge — we treat it that way.

Plans are month-to-month with no contracts, and there's a 7-day money-back guarantee. Cancel in two clicks from settings.
