Festivals are chaotic. Splitting costs afterward shouldn't be.
Track shared expenses across tickets, camping, food runs, and rideshares. Settle up with your crew without the week-long group chat negotiation.
This is for you if...
- ✓You bought the group's tickets months ago and are still waiting on payment
- ✓Someone's car is the transportation and someone else paid for the campsite
- ✓Shared coolers, food runs, and supply hauls are piling up
- ✓You've done the post-festival Venmo dance before and it took weeks
Festivals are a blur. The expense sorting afterward shouldn't take longer than the festival itself.
Built for group events
Are We Even tracks the scattered, multi-day expenses that festivals generate. Multiple payers, varied participation, shared supplies. All handled.
No spreadsheets. No memory. No drama.
Why festival expenses are a mess
Costs start months before the festival
Tickets, campsite reservations, travel bookings. By the time the festival arrives, half the money has already been spent -- and nobody remembers who paid what.
Cash and cards mix unpredictably
Food vendors take cash. The campsite took a card. Someone Venmo'd for the parking pass. Tracking across payment methods is a headache.
Group purchases blur individual costs
One person fills the cooler. Another buys everyone breakfast. A third covers the ride there. These shared purchases are hard to unwind.
Post-festival follow-up dies quickly
Everyone's tired. Everyone's busy. The "I'll Venmo you later" texts fade. Someone eats the cost.
Track everything from tickets to the ride home
Are We Even keeps a running record of every shared expense. Log costs as they happen -- or batch them at the end of each day. The balance updates automatically. No memory required. No post-festival accounting. No lost costs.
- Start tracking when tickets are purchased
- Log expenses during the fest from your phone
- Settle before everyone drives home
How it works
Create the group when tickets go on sale
Start tracking from the first purchase. Add everyone who's going.
Log expenses as they happen
Campsite, gas, food runs, supplies. Whoever pays adds it. Takes seconds.
Batch daily expenses if needed
No service at the festival? Add everything when you're back at camp with wifi.
Settle on the drive home
Review balances. Send transfers. Done before you unpack.
Every festival expense, organized
From the ticket purchase in January to the gas station stop on the way home. One shared view.
Features
Pre-event tracking
Log ticket purchases and supply hauls weeks or months before the festival.
Works offline-friendly
Add expenses when you have signal. No constant data connection required.
Shared and individual splits
Cooler supplies? Split across everyone. VIP upgrade? Just the people who wanted it.
Fast settlement
Minimum transfers to square up the whole group. Four people might need just two payments.
Common festival expenses
Why the group chat can't handle festival expenses
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| "I'll Venmo you later" | later never comes |
| Screenshots of receipts | no running total, no balances |
| One person tracks in Notes | nobody else sees it |
| Post-festival spreadsheet | nobody wants to build it |
| Are We Even | shared tracking from day one, automatic settlement |
Start tracking before the festival even starts
Create the group the moment tickets are purchased. That way, every shared cost from planning through the festival itself is captured. No setup needed at the festival. Just open the link and add expenses.
