As we start 2024, we remain focused on what makes artists’ lives easier and supporting our hosts to have more successful shows. 👉 Today we're excited to release a product update that allows any user of Side Door to ticket a show without needing to connect to anyone else on the platform. 🔥 This hot new feature gives artists and hosts more control of their shows. 🏠 We understand that some hosts prefer to curate their own events.
