## What is Gather?

Gather is a private, invite-only app for the people already in your life.

Make a Circle for your family, your friends, your book club, your neighborhood, or your team. Share what you're already doing. Dinner tonight. A hike this weekend. An extra ticket. Coffee after work. The right people see it and tap to join.

How Gather works

• Post a plan in seconds. A dinner, a walk, a rodeo night, a quick coffee.
• Join with one tap. Anyone in the Circle says "I'm in."
• Keep it in one place. Comments live on the plan, so nobody digs through a group text for the details.
• Private by design. No public feeds, no algorithms, no follower counts. Invite-only.

Shared tickets, sorted

Gather started as a way for one family to pass around their Houston Rodeo season tickets. Claim a date, confirm the handoff, and everyone knows who has them tonight. It works for any AXS-transferred season pass shared inside a private Circle.

Who it's for

Families. Friend groups. Book clubs. Sports and activity groups. Neighborhood crews. Anyone who shares season tickets.

Free to use

A new Circle is free, with room for up to 10 members. Gather Plus adds unlimited Circles and unlimited members for $4.99 a month or $47.99 a year. Posting plans, joining plans, and handing off tickets are never paywalled.

No ads. No algorithms. Just your Circle.

Gather Plus is an auto-renewable subscription. $4.99 USD per month or $47.99 USD per year (about $4.00 a month). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
