Stay22’s mobile-first booking experience simplifies travel for eventgoers while helping organizers unlock new revenue with zero extra effort.

Event attendees expect more than just a ticket — they want the entire experience to be seamless, including booking travel and accommodation. But there’s a growing disconnect: While the majority of users now browse on mobile, traditional booking tools haven’t caught up.

This creates friction at a critical point in the attendee journey. Mobile users often struggle with clunky navigation, slow load times or confusing interfaces, resulting in abandoned bookings and lost revenue for event organizers.

Stay22 saw this as an opportunity to reimagine the experience with mobile users in mind.

Stay22 for Event Organizers

Stay22 helps event organizers boost revenue and enhance the attendee experience by offering a free, embeddable interactive map that displays nearby accommodations tailored to each event.

Used by platforms like Bandsintown, Eventim, Evenko and Skiddle, the Stay22 Map features over 35 million listings worldwide and a 10.1% conversion rate, turning interest into bookings while earning affiliate revenue on every reservation.

The solution is fully mobile-optimized, easy to integrate across websites, confirmation emails, and social media, and backed by real human support.

It’s a turnkey tool that drives value without adding complexity, helping you focus on your core event while we handle the travel tech.

A Mobile-Optimized Booking Button

Enter the new Stay22 Map Button — a sleek, intuitive call-to-action built specifically to simplify mobile bookings.

This button appears directly on the Stay22 event map and takes users straight to curated accommodation listings based on the map's parameters — dates, location, occupancy and more. It's fast, smooth and feels familiar to mobile users accustomed to platforms like Airbnb and Google Maps.

By reducing the number of steps it takes to complete a booking, the button removes friction and makes it easier for attendees to book on the go.

Higher Conversions, Happier Attendees

The initial results speak volumes:

• 50% increase in conversions since the button was introduced.
• 4x more clicks compared to the previous version of the map.
• On mobile, the button drives 85% of user interactions, compared to 41% on desktop.

These numbers aren’t just impressive — they’re a reflection of what users want: speed, simplicity and trust in the tools they're using.

For event organizers, this means happier attendees and a measurable boost in ancillary revenue.

Seamless Integration for Organizers

One of the best parts? Stay22’s Map Button works right out of the box — if you are already using Stay22’s Map tool, no extra development is required.

It dynamically matches your map’s branding and color scheme, integrates seamlessly with your website, and automatically optimizes supplier selection using Stay22’s Roam AI. This means the user is shown results from the booking platform they’re most likely to use.

It’s built to be fast, responsive and non-intrusive, and has zero impact on page load speed. The result is an enhancement that boosts performance without adding complexity.

Why It Matters for the Future of Ticketing

If you are relying on event traffic coming from mobile devices, creating a frictionless booking experience is essential.

As audiences expect more convenience and personalization, tools like Stay22’s Map help future-proof your event experience, while opening up new revenue streams you may not even realize you’re missing.

By focusing on smarter UX and effortless monetization, Stay22 is helping the event ticketing world evolve alongside its increasingly mobile-first audience.

Let’s look at a real-life example:

Alex loves live music. When their favorite indie band announces a Saturday night show two hours away, Alex quickly grabs two tickets on their phone. But after confirming the seats, there's no option to book accommodations. No prompts, no integrated tools. So Alex leaves the app, searches Google and books a room through an unrelated site.

That stay could have generated affiliate revenue for the event organizer, venue or ticketing partner. Instead, it goes elsewhere. Multiply Alex’s experience by hundreds or thousands of fans, and the missed earnings add up fast.

Now imagine if booking a nearby hotel was seamlessly integrated into the ticket purchase flow. With just a tap, Alex secures a place to stay without ever leaving the app. The result? A better fan experience, effortless revenue and no opportunity left on the table.
