How cons work today

At a con, VIP is the promoter’s product.

01The con sells the tickets, sets the tiers, and keeps the premium. Your appearance is what they’re selling — on their terms.
02Third-party signing and photo-op companies run the table and take a piece of every autograph and every selfie.
03Fans buy from you all weekend — and you fly home with no way to reach a single one of them again. The list stays with the con.

How Barricade works

Run your own signings, sales, and fan list.

01Build the page.Signings, photo ops, video messages, meetups — whatever you actually sell, live in minutes.
02Sell before & at the table.Fans buy before doors open — or right in your line, from their phone. Confirmations, reminders, refunds, transfers — all automatic.
03Run the table. Check fans in from any phone. No scanners, no QR codes, no third-party booth between you and your line.
04Keep what’s yours.Payouts land after the event. 7% flat, no hidden fees. Every buyer joins your list — forever.

The math

One client. One weekend.

300 autographs × $60, pre-sold + walk-ups$18,000
40 photo ops × $80$3,200
Weekend total$21,200
You keep — 93%, paid after the event$19,716
Fans on a list you own, forever340

For agencies

Five clients. One con. Your desk.

If you book the talent, you can run the VIP. Pre-sell each client’s signings and experiences from their own pages, sell on-site, check fans in from one phone, and grow a list the con never sees. Your talent keeps more of the money. You own the fan relationship — across every client, every con, all year.

You

Book the con. Set the prices. Run the table.

Your talent

Shows up. Signs. Meets the fans.

Barricade

Pages, checkout, reminders, check-in, payouts — and the list.

To be clear about what we are: Barricade doesn’t book talent and doesn’t run cons — that’s your job. We’re the software layer, so the sales, the check-in, and the fan list belong to you. Your data is exportable anytime. No lock-in. Period.

Sell direct. Keep the list. Own the relationship.

We’re built for touring artists today and exploring the con world with a few founding talent and agencies. If your world deserves a shot at this, let’s talk.
