Luma sends the invite. Weeknights keeps the people.
One 5% fee with card costs included, so you keep more of every ticket. And the people who meet at your events see each other at the next one.
Why clubs choose Weeknights over Luma
Selling the ticket is the easy part. Weeknights is built for what happens after: the same people coming back, and bringing others with them.
