From sign-up
to sold out.
A plain-English walkthrough of everything you set up on BuzzHive — create your event, make it yours, and let the Run Up and cross-share fill the room. Nine steps, all free.
Create your free account
Sign up and you’re in — no credit card, no application to approve, no waiting on a confirmation email. Your account activates instantly and drops you straight into your dashboard.
Connect Stripe so the money comes to you
Hook up Stripe Connect in a few minutes and ticket revenue lands directly in your bank account — BuzzHive never holds your funds. Throwing a free show? You can skip this entirely.
Create your first event
Add the basics — name, date, venue, flyer — then build your tickets. Spin up as many tiers as you want, set the rules, and publish when you’re ready.
Pick a vibe & customize the page
Your event page should look like your night, not a checkout form. Start from one of 25+ vibes, or open the Vibe Studio and build your own — no design skills, and it can’t break on a phone.
Make the art in the Graphics Studio
Need a flyer, a logo, or merch art? You don’t need Photoshop — the Graphics Studio is built right in. It’s a full Photoshop × Illustrator × Procreate hybrid — raster, vector and paint in one — with AI and print-and-cut, free on your account.
Build your whole website in the Website Studio
Skip the $20-a-month site builder. The Website Studio is a Dreamweaver-class drag-and-drop builder for your storefront — describe your site and AI drafts a multi-page website from your real events and merch in about 40 seconds, then you fine-tune every pixel.
Import your email lists
You already have a following — bring it with you. Import your own email lists (past buyers, your mailing list) and send campaigns to them straight from BuzzHive.
Fire up the Run Up
The Run Up is your free promo engine for the weeks leading up to a show. Pick an event and it writes you four ready-to-post caption options plus a custom promo image — fresh every week, with your ticket link already baked in.
Connect your socials to the Run Up
Want BuzzHive to actually post for you? Connect your accounts once and the Run Up auto-posts to your Facebook Page and Instagram. You stay in full control — it runs through your own Meta app, completely separate from BuzzHive.
Now run
your show.
Free account, free tools, zero platform fee on free events — and the more of us who run on it, the bigger our shared reach. We are the underground, and we are expanding.
