What Memberly does

Memberly is a membership infrastructure platform for in-real-life (IRL) experiences, targeting independent event producers, promoters, venues, and community organizers who currently rely on per-ticket ticketing marketplaces. The company's thesis is that one-off ticket sales create revenue volatility and cede audience ownership to platforms that charge 3–10% per ticket plus booking fees; Memberly instead enables producers to sell recurring monthly memberships with auto-renewal, dunning, and member-only perks such as early ticket access, standing discounts, and members-only events.

The product surface consists of a self-serve web platform with several integrated modules: Memberships (single monthly recurring tier per community), Memberly Passes (event tickets sold at 0% platform fee with automatic member pricing), Native Checkout (Stripe-integrated payments with weekly payouts to producers), a producer Dashboard (MRR, member counts, renewal rates, payout history), and a Discovery layer. A planned AI layer branded Memberly Intelligence is described in product and Terms-of-Use material as targeting event aggregation, event scoring, sell-out likelihood, and predictive planning, but is not yet shipping. The platform is web-only with no public API, SDK, or app presence, and access is gated through a waitlist that prioritizes producers and venues.

On the business model, Memberly offers tiered subscription plans to producers with undisclosed pricing, including monthly fees and revenue-share on subscription sales, per the Terms of Use. End-consumer membership pricing is set independently by each producer (example cited: $25/month at Aurora Collective). The company is privately held, founder-owned by Eric Jones, operates as an Arkansas-formed entity doing business as WithMemberly, and is positioned to serve the US, UK, and EU. Distribution is product-led and content-led: producers self-onboard in under 10 minutes, and the company drives top-of-funnel demand through a blog targeting event producers with SEO-oriented content about the shift from ticketing to membership models. No funding rounds, institutional investors, or revenue disclosures are present in the source material.

Revenue model

1. Membership Subscriptions: Producers offer monthly recurring memberships to their communities. Members pay a monthly fee (e.g., $25/mo as shown with Aurora Collective) for perks including early access to tickets, member pricing, exclusive meetups, and monthly perks. Revenue compounds as members renew month after month with 96% renewal rates.
2. Memberly Pass Sales: Producers sell event tickets as Memberly Passes with 0% platform fee, keeping 100% of door revenue. Standard payment processing fees apply. No per-ticket platform cut or booking fees passed to fans.
3. Producer Subscription Plans: Platform offers free and paid plans for producers including membership tools, analytics packages, integrations, and enterprise services. Multiple pricing tiers for producers with monthly fees and revenue-share charges tied to subscription sales.

Core offering

Memberly provides a subscription-based membership infrastructure platform for independent event producers, promoters, venues, and community organizers who run IRL experiences. The platform bundles recurring monthly memberships with member-only perks (early ticket access, member pricing, exclusive content and meetups) and Memberly Passes sold at 0% platform fees, with weekly Stripe payouts to producers. It targets the live events industry by replacing volatile one-off ticket sales with predictable, compounding recurring revenue.

Product overview

Memberly is a membership infrastructure platform for IRL (in-real-life) experiences, designed specifically for event producers, promoters, venues, and community organizers. The core platform consists of multiple integrated modules: the main Platform for community and membership management, Memberly Passes for zero-fee ticketing, Native Checkout for payment processing with Stripe integration, a Dashboard for producer analytics (MRR, members, renewals), Discovery for event/member search, and Memberships for recurring subscription tiers. A planned AI-powered layer called Memberly Intelligence is under development for event scoring and predictive planning. The company also publishes a Blog as an educational resource for event producers. The platform is headquartered in Arkansas and serves users in the US, EU, and UK.

Direct peers

• Patreon: Subscription membership platform for creators; comparable because Patreon pioneered the recurring-membership, audience-ownership business model Memberly extends to IRL event producers, with similar mechanics (tiers, renewals, dunning, payout).
• Dice: Ticketing and discovery platform focused on live music and club events; directly comparable because Dice serves the same nightlife/club and live-event producers Memberly targets, with similar audience ownership concerns and ticketing economics.
• Bandsintown: Live event discovery and ticketing platform for concerts and shows; comparable because Bandsintown serves live-event producers and fans with ticketing flows, and represents the kind of incumbent that could add membership tiers to defend its base.
• Mighty Networks: Community and membership platform with built-in payments and events; comparable because Mighty offers creators and organizers recurring membership + event ticketing in one product, intersecting Memberly's combined membership-and-pass value proposition.
• Posh: Nightlife and event discovery/ticketing app; directly comparable because Posh serves the same promoters, venues, and nightlife attendees Memberly targets, competing for the same supply and demand sides of club-event ticketing.
• Resident Advisor: Ticketing and community platform for electronic music and club events; comparable because RA serves the same producers of club nights and listening-room events Memberly powers, with strong community/loyalty DNA analogous to Memberly's membership thesis.

Emerging players

• Kajabi: All-in-one platform for creators to sell memberships, courses, and events; comparable because Kajabi demonstrates the land-and-expand SaaS model Memberly could pursue once anchored on the membership wedge for event producers.
• Ghost: Open-source membership and subscription platform for independent publishers; comparable as a subscription-infrastructure playbook (tiers, renewals, payouts) that could be applied to live-event producers as Ghost grows.

Broad incumbents

• Eventbrite: Largest general-purpose event ticketing marketplace; comparable because Eventbrite serves the same independent producers and venues, charges per-ticket platform fees (the 3-10% Memberly undercuts), and has begun layering membership-style features.
• Substack: Subscription publishing platform for writers and creators; comparable at the business-model layer (recurring membership + platform fee + audience ownership) that Memberly applies to IRL event producers rather than writers.
