Case Study: 189 Public House achieves rapid audience growth and seamless ticketing with Ticketbud

How One Restaurant Owner Turned an Idea into a Thriving Concert Venue

189 Public House, opened by restaurateur Clark Crook in July 2014, is a two-level, 200-capacity “theater in the round” concert venue and whiskey emporium. To turn the space into a regular stop on national tours Clark needed advance ticketing, a way to grow an audience and promote shows, and a reliable, efficient check-in process to handle frequent weekly events.

Ticketbud provided an out-of-the-box online ticketing platform with a mobile check-in app and a dashboard for ticket-holder data and communications, plus responsive human support. That combination eliminated the need to build custom software, streamlined entry, made event posting simple, and helped drive the venue’s early growth and consistent show operations.
