Every ticket buyer automatically receives a unique affiliate link. When they share and someone buys, they earn a commission — and you get more sales. Three passive revenue streams, all powered by Stripe. Zero manual management.

The Problem
Most platforms ignore the promotional power of your existing buyers. BrightStar turns every ticket holder into a trackable, rewarded affiliate.
The Old Way
With BrightStar
How It Works
No setup, no third-party tools, no manual management. The Affiliate Engine runs itself from the moment someone buys a ticket.
After purchasing a ticket, every buyer automatically receives a unique affiliate link in their confirmation email. No action required from you.
Buyers share their unique link with friends, family, and their social audience. Each click and conversion is tracked automatically.
When someone purchases through the affiliate link, the referrer earns a commission — paid out via Stripe. You get more sales with zero extra effort.
Three Revenue Streams
The Affiliate Engine unlocks three interconnected ways to earn — all automated, all tracked, all paid through Stripe.
Buyers promote, you grow
Every ticket buyer becomes an affiliate for your event. They share their unique link, and when someone buys through it, the referrer earns a commission. More sales, zero ad spend.
20% platform fees — forever
When your ticket buyers sign up as new event creators on BrightStar, you earn 20% of the platform fees from their future event sales. This is a lifetime commission — you earn as long as they host.
Cross-event discovery
Your ticket buyers are presented with other local events after purchasing. You earn a commission on every sale — and other creators' buyers see your events too. Mutual growth, zero effort.
Why It Matters
Stop spending on ads and start leveraging the people who already love your events.
Affiliate links, tracking, and payouts all happen without any action from you. Set it and forget it — the system runs 24/7.
Earn from three sources simultaneously: affiliate commissions, brand ambassador fees, and ecosystem cross-sales. All passive.
Your attendees become your most authentic marketers. People trust recommendations from friends over ads — every time.
Track referral clicks, conversions, and commissions from your dashboard. See which affiliates drive the most sales.
Perfect For
Whether you host intimate workshops or massive festivals, the Affiliate Engine turns your community into your growth engine.
Yoga teachers share with their communities. Each referral funds the next retreat. Wellness circles grow organically.
Superfans become street-team promoters. Every shared link fills more seats — and earns the sharer concert credits.
Students refer peers naturally. Course creators earn ambassador income from alumni who become teachers themselves.
Ecstatic Dance, kirtan circles, breathwork — attendees share out of love. Now that sharing is tracked and rewarded.
Professional networks amplify your reach. Speakers and attendees alike drive registrations through their affiliate links.
Board members, sponsors, and VIPs promote exclusive events. Affiliate tracking turns social capital into measurable ROI.
“Our attendees share our events because they love them. Now they also earn for doing it. We saw a 30% increase in referral-driven ticket sales in the first month — all without running a single new ad.”
