Show Stop

Show Stop is a New York-based, remote-first company building ticketing technology for event organizers and fan platforms. Founded by Joane Joseph, formerly of BuzzFeed, the company aims to make buying concert tickets more seamless and help businesses connect ticket sales with fan engagement.

Its middleware connects an organizer’s website or app directly to the partner APIs of primary ticketing providers. Show Stop manages API authentication, ticket inventory synchronization, checkout routing, and fandom verification, allowing fans to purchase tickets without being redirected away from the platform they are using. The service is designed to reduce friction in the checkout experience while letting organizers rely on ticketing providers’ infrastructure.

Show Stop serves independent artists selling through their own sites, record labels coordinating ticketing across their rosters, concert promoters managing events across venues and dates, and fan club platforms offering verified members presales or special pricing. The company offers product information, pricing, support, partnership opportunities, and demonstrations for prospective customers.
