  • CUR8 is affordable, flexible, and built to scale with your program. There are no upfront costs to get started, and most features are included with your ticketing revenue. For ticketing, the fee is $1.00 per ticket and 3.5% of the total transaction amount.

    The project management features are optional, but we really think you’re going to love them. You can use the suite of tools for free, with additional costs applying to advanced features, such as Notifications and Film Review. Just like ticketing, you can offset those costs, allowing you to leverage these exciting new tools for free, too!

  • Great question.

    It’s spelled C - U - R, and the number 8. CUR8 is pronounced “curate.”

    The word curate, by definition, is about organizing and looking after a collection. For you, those curated collections are your events and your community of people. CUR8 is an event management, ticketing, and streaming platform that organizes and presents your collection of events, customers, and participants in an organized and professional way to maximize your efficiency and provide expert insight into your organization.

  • Our mission has always been rooted in innovation and helping our clients stay ahead with tools that make event management easier and more impactful. ShowTix4U built a reputation as a reliable, user-friendly ticketing system, but we knew it could be more. That’s why, in July 2024, we launched CUR8, a platform designed to go beyond ticketing and support every part of the event journey.

    CUR8 is about expanding your reach, curating your vision, and giving you the tools to bring people together in more meaningful ways.

    CUR8 integrates planning, scheduling, communication, and ticketing tools into one streamlined experience, empowering you to manage your event from inspiration to execution. We reimagined the platform and brand to foster a more collaborative, connected experience.

    Since launch, we’ve continued to innovate and expand CUR8’s capabilities, and we’re just getting started. New features are being added regularly to make event management faster, smarter, and more intuitive for you.
