SET x Openstage

Every show. Every fan. Instantly in Openstage.

Written by Chris Parks

Openstage integrates with SET, a fan data capture tool built for live events. Fan details from SET campaigns flow into Openstage in real time, complete with event-specific tags and acquisition tracking - turning unknown concert-goers into contactable fans you can reach long after the show.

Use the integration to:

  • Build direct fan relationships from live show attendance

  • Send post-show follow-ups while the energy is still high

  • Track and reward your most loyal show-goers across the tour


What is SET?

SET lets artists capture fan data at live events. Artists display a unique URL or QR code at shows - on screens, posters, or merch tables - where fans can check in, join a guest list, or enter for perks. The process captures contact details and opt-in consent, creating a direct artist-to-fan relationship on the night.


Data imported into Openstage

When a fan participates in a SET campaign, Openstage imports:

  • First name and last name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • City, state, and country

  • Email consent

  • SMS consent

  • Campaign tag - based on the SET campaign, for example: SET.Live @ Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) 11/3/2023

Every SET participant also receives the setlive-welcome tag. If the fan is new to the artist's Openstage audience, a new fan profile is created with setlive set as their acquisition channel.

Note: Artists can add custom questions to SET campaigns, but individual answers are not passed to Openstage - only the campaign the fan engaged with. Filtering by a campaign tag shows all fans who participated in that campaign.


What you can do with this integration

Post-show follow-ups

For fans who checked in at a specific show, send a message tied to that night while the buzz is still fresh. Thank them for coming, share photos or setlists, invite them to post their own highlights, and drop a limited-time offer before the moment fades.

From the road welcome series

For fans acquired via SET for the first time, start them in a dedicated welcome series. Introduce them to your world with tour photos, behind-the-scenes stories, and clear next steps - joining your paid membership, following the rest of the tour, or claiming exclusive merch.

Attendance-based perks and loyalty

Reward actual attendees with perks tied to their check-ins - a limited-time merch code, an exclusive back-of-house gallery, or presale priority for fans who have attended the most shows.

Geo re-activation

Use campaign tags and location data to target past attendees in a city when you announce a return show. A "you were there - come back" presale invite makes fans feel recognized and valued.
