For
Local bands arranging reciprocal show attendance
Worth noticing
Check-in codes change every 30 seconds, and deposits range from $10 to $100 per gig.

Field notes

A band lists a venue, date, and $10–$100 deposit, then offers a reciprocal attendance deal to another act. After acceptance, both deposits are held until the shows; check-in uses a phone QR code that changes every 30 seconds, and the page says a no-show forfeits its deposit at next-morning settlement. The separate Stay-To-Play model asks bands to commit to 2–10 tickets for another act at the same venue. No upcoming gigs are listed.
