Increase merch sales up to 30% with faster lines and mobile ordering

About us

Mobile merch ordering for live events

Skip The Line was designed for high-volume nights: advance selling, mobile ordering, and streamlined pickup workflows powered by real-time inventory.

Lines cost artists sales, venues time, and fans the show

Merch fulfillment on show night is chaos: lines stack up, inventory gets messy, and fans miss the moments they paid to see. We built Skip The Line to remove the bottleneck, so fans buy from their phones and your team fulfills from one simple event dashboard.

In-seat mobile merch ordering

Practical, not just clever

Skip The Line is completely free to use for artists, promoters, and merch companies. You keep the customer data on every order, and reporting separates pre-show from onsite sales so everyone can see exactly where the night came from.

  • Free for artists, promoters & merch companies
  • You keep the buyer data
  • Pre-show and onsite sales reported separately

Built for moments that break the system

  • Tour-wide tracking

    Skip The Line runs seamlessly across an entire tour, with event-specific storefronts and real-time inventory that carries forward from city to city, plus reporting to match.

    How it works
  • No guesswork

    Real-time inventory means fans only see what is actually available. When sizes sell out they disappear automatically, keeping orders accurate and fulfillment simple.

    For venues
  • Own your data

    Capture buyer info with every order so you can follow up after the show, promote future dates, and drive repeat sales without relying on a third party.
