How do global touring acts run complex arena tours like clockwork?
Calisto Pro brings contracts, tour routing, merchandise sales, and royalty splits into one central system, allowing you to focus entirely on the performance.
One operating system for touring talent
Everything a tour manager, a merch rep, a promoter, and a manager touches, running off one record. A regional club run and an arena world tour are held to the same standard.
Booking, Ticketing & Merch
First hold to confirmed date with radius clauses checked, zero-fee tickets that create fan records, and one stock count behind the merch table, the webstore and the tour.
Roster, Deals & Contracts
One artist profile that every proposal, contract and press kit reads, inquiries that arrive structured, and contracts that release the hold when nobody signs.
Settlements, Accounting & Royalties
Settlements that calculate instead of negotiate, advances that recoup across shows, and every dollar posting to the tour it belongs to.
Crew, Ops & Automation
Twenty crew confirmed on their phones, the day assembled before you open the laptop, and two hundred email addresses collected at the door.
Artist Sites, Fan App & Portals
The site sells tickets and t-shirts from the same catalog, push notifications land before the social post, and portals for the artist and the fan.
Inbox & Messaging
Every fan and promoter channel on one contact, and the correspondence that stays with the agency when the manager leaves.
Fan CRM & Marketing
Four fan tiers driven by purchase behavior, and segments built from shows attended rather than email opens.
Subscriptions, Content, Documents & Rights
Subscription money landing in the artist's bank on day one, a branded player with no competitor sidebar, and seven licence types with territories and expiry alerts.
One platform for every touring artist
The format changes. The login does not.
Every artist on your roster is a deal card. Signing status, contract negotiations, and commission per deal on one visual board. The 25 to 30 monthly hours of admin the software should have handled.
Artist agreements, NDAs, work-for-hire, and performance contracts signed natively in Calisto Sign. No separate e-signature seat. No scanned pages over WhatsApp.
Every email, SMS, and WhatsApp thread with promoters, labels, and festival buyers in one inbox. Full history per contact.
13-factor settlement engine for live shows. Six royalty types for recorded music with ISRC and ISWC tracking. Per-artist statements generate without a formula.
Three ways to add your team to Calisto Pro
Three options adapt to every subscriber.
Add anyone to your system for tasks and scheduling
Add any Calisto user to your system to assign tasks or scheduling. This allows the user to be included in tasks and scheduling through Agenda. Because the user only sees the assigned task or shift, this is a great option for shift employees, third-party contractors, and volunteers.
Decide what every employee sees of your system
Admins who see everything
Add additional users as needed for full access to every app, every screen, and every record. Available at no additional cost for subscribers of Calisto Commerce and Calisto Ops.
Your team, your portals, and your admin access are all managed in Purview.

The roster, the deals, the release.
Three views onto the same artist record. Move the deal and the release calendar already knows.
Run the roster
Every artist is a single record. Their deals, contracts, royalties, communication history, EPK, press mentions, and tour dates live in one place. No more cross-referencing spreadsheets, email folders, and shared drives to answer a simple question about your own roster.
Run the deals
Signing flow, contract negotiations, and commission tracking per deal. The pipeline runs from scouting through settlement, and every dollar is accounted for before anyone asks where it went.
Run the campaigns when artists release
When your roster drops new music, tours, or announces appearances, the marketing surface activates. Artist EPK pages, fan newsletters, release campaigns, and booking inquiry forms work together without switching to a separate platform.
Every room on the tour, drawn the same way.
A tour plays a different room every night and each one needs its own chart. Draw them once, keep them all, and assign the right one to the date. Copy a section from one design and paste it into another through the system clipboard, so a VIP block you have already laid out does not get rebuilt in every city.
Where the answer lives when the artist asks
56 Apps. Working together.
Every app works on its own. Every app works better together.
Six apps. One roster.
Every show starts as a hold. Holds, contracts, settlements and royalties on one record is what keeps a tour from being reconstructed out of email.
Deals
Holds that travel with the date rather than as a screenshot, promoted to an offer and then to a confirmation without anyone retyping the routing.
Sign
Native e-signature on the deal itself, so the countersigned contract is attached to the show rather than sitting in an inbox nobody else can search.
Tickets
Ticket counts against the show they belong to, so the sell-through the agent is asking about is a number you can read rather than one you have to request.
Ledger
Show settlements and royalty accounting on the same books, so what the artist is owed and what the company kept are the same calculation rather than two.
Sites
An artist site and fan app on your own domain, where the fan record belongs to the roster rather than to whichever platform is currently hosting it.
Depot
Contracts, riders, splits and rights documents filed against the show and the artist, with an end date on a usage right rather than an assumption about one.
Data moves. Humans do not retype it.
A deal closes, a ticket sells, a hoodie runs out. The other products respond without an export, a sync, or a forwarded thread.
Deal to Books
A booking deal closes in Deals. Orderflow populates a fulfillment order with guarantee terms and rider specs. The promoter pays and Payments posts the revenue. After the show, the settlement engine splits 13 factors across payouts, merch, and manager commissions. Ledger records it. No accountant touched it.
Ticket to Campaign
A fan buys a pre-sale ticket. The contact record updates in Circle. The tier changes from regular to Superfan. Campaigns enrolls them in the VIP meet-and-greet sequence and the post-show setlist email.
Merch to Reorder
The last XL hoodie sells at the merch table. Inventory hits zero across every channel. Sites drops it from the artist store on the next refresh. Automations fires a reorder task to the apparel supplier.
Inquiry to Calendar
A promoter sends a WhatsApp message. Inbox routes the thread into the Deals pipeline. A Proposal generates with rider specs attached. Sign routes it for dual signature. On execution, the hold in Bookings converts to a confirmed date.
What a roster notices when the back office disappears
The structural reasons a manager stops paying per artist and starts running the whole roster on one record.
per artist, per month, forever. Sign the fourth act and the fifth and the twentieth without the platform bill moving. Every tool that charges by roster size punishes you for the thing you are trying to do.
PER-ARTIST FEESfactors in a show settlement, calculated from the deal memo rather than retyped from it. Guarantee, versus, walkout potential, and every deduction resolve against the contract that was actually signed.
SETTLEMENT MATHdata lock-in. Contracts, ISRC royalty statements, contacts, and the tour history leave with you on any plan. Nobody who has watched a management company change platforms treats that as a small thing.
YOUR ROSTERrecord per artist, holding the deal pipeline, the signed contract, the settlement, the royalty split, and the routing. The 40 emails and 12 calls stop being the system of record.
ONE RECORDpayment gateways, so the promoter, the label, and the brand each pay the way they already pay. Local rails, SEPA, ACH, and cards all resolve to the same statement line, and the advance clears without a wire chase.
GET PAID ANYWHEREBooking, Ticketing & Merch
First hold to confirmed date with radius clauses checked, zero-fee tickets that create fan records, and one stock count behind the merch table, the webstore, and the tour.
Every Show Starts as a Hold
Dates enter the calendar as first hold, second hold, or confirmed, each with its own expiration window. If no signed contract arrives in time, the date releases automatically. Radius clause detection flags a date inside the 150-mile exclusivity window before the offer goes out, with map visualization and conflict detection across your roster.
Holds That Travel Without Screenshots
View-only calendar tokens let promoters see date, venue scope, and expiration without a login. Expiry dates and instant revocation on every link. Attribution tracks which promoter originated each inquiry for later commission splits.
Forty Dates Across Nine Countries on One Route
Tours exist as named entities with their own financials, status, and geography. Pin every date to a map. Gap analysis flags empty dates between stops. Tour financials run continuously with real-time P&L.
Travel Confirmations Filed to the Right Show
Flight confirmations parse to the correct date, city, and artist. Hotel bookings and ground transport attach to the same day. Travel costs aggregate per tour leg and per artist. The day sheet reflects the updated itinerary.
Day Sheets and Advance Sheets From the Booking Record
Venue address, load-in time, sound check, doors, curfew, catering contact, hotel address, and lobby call, all pulled from data already in the system. Exports to branded PDF. Setlists attach with duration rollups. Pre-show advancing documents carry venue details, contacts, load-in times, sound check, and logistics generated from the confirmed booking.
Five Hundred Tickets Sold. Zero Platform Fees.
Zero platform fees on ticket sales, with payment processing at gateway rates only. On a 500-ticket show, the cut a ticketing platform would take stays with the artist, promoter, or fan. Every ticket buyer links to the contact spine, as a structured record tied to purchase history, show attendance, and communication preferences. VIP meet-and-greet packages and fan club pre-sales run as their own tiers, and attendees receive mobile-friendly event pages with lineup, set times, and venue map.
Ticket Prices Move With Demand
Early-bird, standard, VIP, and day-of pricing tiers as structured rules. Suggested rates draw from historical sell-through velocity, comparable shows, and current sales pace. Price changes propagate to every sales channel at once.
The Merch Table Settles Itself After Load-Out
Per-show merch inventory tracks per show. A sale at the venue depletes across every channel. The artist's cut and venue's cut calculate from deal terms already in the system. No end-of-night spreadsheet reconciliation.
Last XL Hoodie Sells. The Website Knows.
Tablet POS at the merch table takes cash, card, and mobile payments, and every sale depletes shared inventory. When the last XL hoodie sells at the table, the website removes it. Each transaction posts to Ledger under the correct tour and date. The hoodie buyer provides an email for the receipt, that email creates or updates a contact record, purchase history attaches to the fan's profile, and the loyalty system evaluates tier upgrade eligibility.
Tickets fund artists, not platforms.
Zero platform fees. Every buyer becomes a record. Sell at the venue; the webstore already knows.
Roster, Deals & Contracts
One artist profile that every system reads, inquiries that arrive structured, and contracts that release the hold when nobody signs.
Profile. Inquiry. Offer. Contract. Confirmed.
One Profile Feeds Every Proposal and Contract
One artist profile holds bio, photos, press kit, rider, and rate card. Proposals pull from this profile. Contracts read the rider from this profile. Promoters see this profile on the public roster page. No press kit gets rebuilt from scratch for the next request. Every booking, contract, settlement, expense, and royalty ties back to the artist profile automatically, so the portfolio, the media kit, the performance history, and the downloadable EPK are one thing referenced from everywhere.
The contract reads the deal, not a template.
From the first booking inquiry through hold management, offer sheets, contract execution, and rider attachment. No export. No re-entry. No forwarded threads.
Settlements, Accounting & Royalties
Settlements that calculate instead of negotiate, advances that recoup across shows, and every dollar posting to the tour it belongs to.
Every line traces to a transaction
Closed Deals Create Fulfillment Orders
A deal closes. The operations team receives a structured handoff: venue details, load-in schedule, hospitality rider, tech requirements, travel logistics, and merch allocation. No operations manager rebuilds this information from a forwarded contract.
Thirteen Factors. One Settlement.
Gross revenue, ticket sales, merch revenue, guarantee vs. percentage, co-promotion splits, venue fees, production costs, travel, hospitality, tax presets, expense deductions, deposit applications, and advance recoupment. Formal settlement statements with branded PDF export and line-item detail.
Advances Recoup Across Shows Automatically
Four advance types: flat guarantees, draw-against-percentage, tour support, and production advances. Each tracks through a lifecycle: issued, partially recouped, fully recouped. Incremental recoupment applies across multiple shows.
Per-Agent Commission Splits
Configurable rates per agent. Multi-agent splits, tiered structures, and override commissions for senior agents. Commissions calculate after pre-commission expense deductions and flow into settlement statements automatically.
The Artist Sees Every Line. The Manager Defends Nothing.
Branded settlement PDFs with line-item detail. Transparency builds trust and eliminates disputes.
A roster stays when the money is right.
Settlements calculate, not negotiate. The advance recouped before anyone asked. The royalty sheet reads live revenue.
Crew, Ops & Automation
Twenty crew confirmed on their phones, the day assembled before you open your laptop, and two hundred email addresses collected at the door.
Twenty Crew Across Four Departments, Confirmed
Sound, lighting, stage, security, and catering crew assigned to dates and roles, with flight, hotel, and credential tracking attached to each name. A confirmation dashboard shows who accepted, who hasn't responded, and who declined. An operational logbook records load-in delays, equipment failures, and venue changes.
Stage Specs Persist Across Tours and Return Dates
Technical specs and stage plots upload once per venue and persist. Eight stage types. Exhibitor management for six types with status, fees, and booking linkage. Assure runs the pre-show checklists: stage inspection, load-in timing, and hospitality rider delivery signed off on a phone. Per-artist metrics and agency leaderboard.
The Day Starts Before You Open Your Laptop
Last night's settlement already posted. Today's sound check, load-in time, and venue contact sit on one screen. Three payments came due overnight and surface at the top of the queue, sorted by amount.
A Booking Triggers Twelve Tasks Without a Manager
Confirmed bookings fire automated sequences: advancing email, day sheet generation, travel search, crew notification. Task templates apply per-task fields. Branch logic routes differently for festival dates than club shows.
Two Hundred Email Addresses Per Show, Collected at the Door
A captive portal on venue WiFi captures emails before granting internet access. Each address writes into the contact spine. Loyalty tiers recalculate based on attendance. $20 per location per month.
The show runs on data that already exists.
Crew, departments and stage specs on the booking record. Dashboard, books, crew, automations.
Artist Sites, Fan App & Portals
A price changes once. It changes everywhere. No local inventory. No second price list. No manual stock adjustments between channels.
Gold-tier content unlocks without a manual gate.
The app reads the same tier the ticket sale wrote. Push lands before the post.
Fan CRM & Marketing
Four fan tiers driven by purchase behavior, and segments built from shows attended rather than email opens.
Four Fan Tiers Driven by Purchase Behavior
Fan club memberships with tier logic: casual, regular, superfan, VIP. Tier changes trigger automatically from purchase behavior, not manual assignment. Two shows attended in 90 days moves a contact from casual to regular.
A Fifth Ticket Purchase Upgrades the Fan Automatically
Every fan enters as Casual. Ticket purchases, merch orders, and streaming activity push fans through four tiers. The fifth ticket triggers a Superfan upgrade, opening VIP pre-sale, exclusive merch drops, and meet-and-greet eligibility. Tier data flows from ticket sales, merchandise transactions, and WiFi check-ins.
The Segment Reads What Fans Did, Not What They Opened
Pre-sale goes to Superfans and VIPs. General on-sale goes to everyone else. Each segment references ticket history, merch purchases, and attendance count. When ticketing and email live in separate products, this segmentation is structurally impossible.
A Release Date Triggers Tier-Targeted Campaigns
Six weeks before release: teaser to Superfans. Four weeks: pre-save to all subscribers. Release day: streaming link to every tier. Post-release: merch tied to album artwork. Each email references the fan's tier and purchase history.
Happy Fans Write Google Reviews. Unhappy Fans Write to You.
A post-show satisfaction check routes by score. High scores get a Google Review link. Low scores get a private feedback form. Complaints arrive before they arrive on social media.
One Show Recap Publishes Across Every Performing Artist
Show photos upload to Depot tagged with artist and date, then flow straight to the Impreta composer. One session publishes the recap to Instagram, TikTok, and X for every artist on the bill, and the same assets refresh each artist's public EPK. Nine separate logins replaced by one.
The conversation has a home now.
Segments built from behavior, not inbox activity. When the email tool and ticketing system share a database, segment by shows attended, merch purchased, and tier level. Not by email opens and click rates.
Subscriptions, Content, Documents & Rights
Subscription money landing in the artist's bank on day one, a branded player with no competitor sidebar, and seven licence types with territories and expiry alerts.
Create at no cost. Monetise on your terms.
Files that know their context. Rights lifecycle from draft to expiry across territories.
Inbox and messaging for artist and talent agencies
Every tool your roster needs to answer a promoter or a fan is already built into Calisto Pro, and every one of them opens against the booking, the guarantee and the deposit the conversation is about.

Templates pre-fill with contact data, booking details, and financial terms. A hold confirmation template pulls date, venue, guarantee, and deposit amount from the booking record. Communication history records every message sent and received.
The Call Logs Itself to the Contact Record
A booking negotiation that starts over WhatsApp, moves to email, and concludes on a video call keeps one continuous record on the promoter's contact.
The Correspondence Stays When the Manager Leaves
When the manager leaves the agency the correspondence stays on the contact record, and the agency never loses a conversation thread to a departing employee's phone.

Frequently asked questions
Add as many artists and team members as the roster holds. No per-artist fees and no per-seat fees exist at any tier. A solo manager with three artists and a label with sixty artists pay the same platform rate.
Fourteen products are free with no time limit. Bookings, calendar, ticketing, roster profiles, press kits, artist summaries, and fan contacts cost nothing.
Over 40 payment gateways connect. Local rails in Latin America, SEPA in Europe, ACH and cards in North America. The platform adapts to each market's preferred method.
Multi-currency support and localized payment processing cover cross-border rosters. A manager in Madrid booking shows in Bogota and Berlin handles all three markets from one account.
Each tool holds one piece of the artist and none of them share the record, so the settlement gets retyped from the deal memo and the royalty statement gets retyped from the settlement. Every retype is a place the number can drift, and the artist is the one who finds it. Here they are the same record. Fourteen products carry 0 additional cost, so the comparison can start before anything is paid.
No long-term contracts. Monthly billing. Cancel anytime. Included products stay included permanently.
Full data export in standard formats. Nothing gets held hostage.
Add the whole desk. Agents, accountants, and assistants all work the same records, and there are no per-seat fees rationing who gets an account. Owning a purview is what separates who can change its settings from who works inside it.
Each product works independently. Start with the bookings and calendar your account already includes. Add Commerce when deals require settlements. Add Campaigns when the fan base warrants campaigns. The platform grows with the roster.
