Esports Event Websites, Ticketing & Apps with Live Brackets

An esports event has two audiences on the same phone: spectators who want to know which stage the final is on, and competitors who want to know when they play. Both currently learn it from a Discord channel with four thousand messages, a bracket site that was not built for a venue, and a stream schedule that slipped an hour ago.

We build the event's site, ticketing and app so that the bracket, the stage, the stream and the schedule are one live thing on every phone, with player registration and spectator tickets sold direct or through the platforms the community already uses.

The gap between the ticket and the gate

What goes wrong now, and what the fan never hears about.

01

Competitors miss check-in because the call time was posted in a channel they muted

02

The main stage schedule slips and the stream schedule on the site is still the old one

03

Player passes, spectator tickets and BYOC seats are sold through three different links

Real-time booking

Two ways to do it for esports & gaming events.

Both end with the fan holding a ticket in your app and hearing from you the moment something changes. They differ in who sells the seat and who pays the fee.

Path 1

Connect what you already sell on

Keep the ticketing platform your fans know. We build the site and the app around it — pulling live inventory, pushing real-time updates, and owning the fan relationship the platform never gives you.

  • Live availability and pricing on your own pages, not a redirect
  • Fan accounts, notifications and history that are yours, whichever platform sold the seat
  • Presales, waitlists and announcements under your brand
  • One place for the fan; the platform stays behind the scenes

Best when the platform's reach matters more than its fees, or a contract runs for years yet.

Path 2

Own the booking end to end

A booking web application, iOS and Android apps, and a back office you control. No per-ticket fee to a middleman, no fan data held by someone else, no waiting on a platform to add the feature you need.

  • Seat maps, general admission, tables, passes and season packages
  • Checkout with cards, wallets and installment options
  • Real-time push to every phone the moment something changes
  • Scanning, entry, and reporting built for your doors, not a generic venue

Best when fees are eating the margin, or the fan relationship is the business.

The fan app

What the phone does for esports & gaming events.

iOS and Android, built from one scope, with a back office your team runs from the office or from the floor. The first list is specific to your kind of event; the second is in every build.

Questions

Esports & Gaming Events, answered.

No. The app reads the bracket from your tournament platform and layers venue information — stations, stages, call times — on top. Competitors register where they always have; they just get told where to be.

Yes. Online stages use the same accounts and notifications; the venue features switch on for the live event.

No. The first path keeps it. We build the site and app to read its live inventory and sell through it, while the fan account, notifications and marketing become yours. Many clients start there and move to their own booking later, once the fan base is in the app.

Your team posts an update once — from the back office or a phone — and it reaches every fan who holds a ticket for that event within seconds, on iOS and Android, with a copy by email or text for anyone without the app. Updates can be scheduled, targeted by section or ticket type, and triggered automatically by events like a presale opening.

Card processing, hosting, and app store accounts in your name — that is the running cost. There is no per-ticket platform fee, which for most venues is the entire reason to do it. We show you the break-even against your current fees before you decide.

Yes. Owning the booking does not mean leaving the listings. Events can still be listed where fans discover them, with the purchase happening on your own system. Discovery and checkout are separate decisions.

A site connected to your existing platform is weeks. An owned booking web app is a few months; adding the iOS and Android apps runs alongside it. Every project is fixed-price and phased, so you can launch the web booking first and add the apps when the numbers say so.

Tell us how you sell tonight. We’ll show you both paths with numbers.

What you pay in fees now, what each path costs to build and run, and the monthly payment if you finance it. Usually within days, not weeks.
