Question 1

Do Agencies pay to use Bridge Live?

Accepted Answer

Creating an Agency, building a network, and proposing commission or representation contracts are free. A commission contract is between the Agency and the person it represents; Bridge Live applies it when it pays out and does not charge for proposing or accepting one.

Question 2

How much does Bridge Live cost?

Accepted Answer

Performers, Techs, and Fans use Bridge Live for free. Venues start at $99 per Stage per month with volume discounts down to $69 per Stage, and Performer premium Acts are $10 each per month on the web.

Question 3

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Performers can create up to four Acts free, Techs get the full toolkit free, and Fans never pay to discover shows or follow artists — no credit card required to start.

Question 4

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

Accepted Answer

No credit card is needed for any free plan. Venue subscriptions are month-to-month — billing starts when you subscribe and you can cancel anytime.

Question 5

Are there hidden or ticketing fees?

Accepted Answer

No hidden ones. Every fee — payment processing, service fee, and any sales tax — is itemized on the checkout summary before a Fan pays, and Venues can choose to cover the fees so Fans pay face value. Tickets deliver instantly, and proceeds are paid out to the Venue's own Payment Account instead of through a ticketing middleman.

Question 6

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes — paid plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime, with no long-term contracts or cancellation penalties.

Question 7

How do payouts work?

Accepted Answer

Venues pay Performers and Techs right in Bridge Live, and payee details and W-9 info are collected up front so nobody chases paperwork on show night. Paying a role from prefunded booking funds costs 2.5% and is paid out on the next payout run (Bridge Live runs payouts twice each day, in the morning and mid-afternoon, Central Time); paying by bank transfer costs 2.9% and is paid out once the transfer clears, typically within a few business days. Through October 31, 2026, bank transfers stay at 2.5%; from November 1 the 2.9% rate applies. Either way the payment lands in the payee's own Payment Account and is paid out to their bank.

Question 8

Do you offer discounts for multiple Stages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Volume pricing applies automatically at checkout: $89 per Stage for 2–5 Stages, $79 per Stage for 6–10, and $69 per Stage for 11 or more.
