THE WHOLE SCENE, IN ONE APP Beatbox moves fast and it moves everywhere. A battle in Tokyo, a jam in Paris, a showcase in Sao Paulo, a workshop two streets away. Beathive puts all of it in one place, so you stop finding out about the night you missed the morning after. FIND YOUR NEXT NIGHT Browse battles, shows, jams and workshops around you or anywhere in the world. Filter by country, see what is selling out, and like the ones you are eyeing so they are waiting for you when payday lands. Every event shows you who is hosting it and what people said about their last one, so you know exactly what you are walking into. TICKETS IN A FEW TAPS Pick your ticket, pay with Apple Pay or your card, done. Free events RSVP in one tap. The price you see is the price you pay: no booking fee, no service fee, nothing bolted on at checkout. Your ticket lives in the app as a QR code. Show it at the door and you are in. Not a PDF in sight. THE PART BETWEEN THE SHOWS Beatbox does not stop when the lights come up. Post about yourself, get into it in the replies, and follow only the channels you care about: solo, tag team, crew, loopstation, gear, beginners, memes,.... One feed, from the people who just started to the ones you queue up on repeat. PUT ON YOUR OWN EVENT Anyone can host on Beathive. Publish an event, set your ticket types and your own currency, and start selling in minutes. No subscription and nothing to pay up front. Scan tickets at the door, keep the guestlist moving, and bring in volunteers to help you run the night. Backstage shows you sold, available and checked in, live, and your payout goes straight to your bank account after the event. WHEREVER YOU ARE Beathive works all over the world. Organizers sell in their own currency, fans buy from anywhere, and the app speaks your language, from Japanese and Korean to French and Latin American Spanish, with more added over time. From the community, to the community, shaped by your feedback and requests. Open the app and find your next battle. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
