The simple answer is that it depends!
The simplest memberships — built around automated ticket discounts within Fanbase— require almost no ongoing admin. Once published, discounts are applied automatically when members buy on Fanbase.
Where memberships can require more effort is if you offer additional benefits like bar discounts or exclusive content. Those need more management but can give you and your fans a lot of value.
💡 Start simple. A lean, well-priced membership with automated discounts is a perfectly good product — and you can always add benefits over time as you get comfortable with how it works.
