Joiners Live!
The Joiners is one of the South’s most historic music venues. Now over 40 years old, The Joiners proudly still remains one of Southampton’s hotspots for live music, continually bringing a host of prospective music superstars to its small, yet modest stage.
As a stop off venue on that all important and affectionately titled ‘toilet circuit’; acts have poured their heart, soul and sweat into their hard earned gigs to find shortly they are very likely to become the next big thing, gracing the covers of NME, Kerrang! and countless other music mags.
In 2009 they decided they needed a new website that reflected what the Joiners was all about, bringing great new live music to their loyal patrons. What they wanted was a new system which allowed them to feature certain shows and promote others, guiding people to the shows they shouldn’t be missing. They also wanted a complete database of artists with past and present shows, biographies and photos.
Having presented visitors with so many gigs to choose from, they needed a simple way for them to be able to book e-tickets online quickly.
They found all of this in our vTicket Venue booking system.
What the client said...
Truly phenomenal. In our wildest dreams we couldn’t have imagined how successful this partnership would become. Our site traffic has doubled and our cashflow has improved massively due to the sheer volume of tickets sold through the site.

The Soul Cellar
The Soul Cellar is a popular music venue at the heart of Southampton’s Cultural Quarter. As they were beginning to increase the number of live shows at the venue, they wanted a system to allow booking directly with them as opposed to one of the market-leading ticket agents who they were finding difficult to work with.
The main site had been excellently designed by a local company and the proprietors wanted to keep this layout for the ticket booking sections. We laised with the original designer to produce a seamless integration between the old and new sites.
The venue also needed a new online merchant account to process the payments for their bookings. We helped them through the process and advised on how the achieve preferential transaction rates from their provider. We also setup their account with our payment service provider (PSP) partner Secure Trading to allow their payments to be taken online.
