Organise your tango marathon without spreadsheets
Collect registrations, select participants, manage role balance, the waitlist and post-acceptance payments in a single platform.
Registration first
Dancers register, without paying.
Selection next
You decide: role balance, couples, level, waitlist.
Payment only after acceptance
Only accepted participants pay for their place.
Your whole marathon, at a glance
Statuses, role balance, payments and fill rate in real time. The end of cross-referenced spreadsheets.
The tool stack that wastes your time
Organising a marathon with selective admission today means juggling tools that don't talk to each other:
- A form to collect pre-registrations
- A spreadsheet to handle selection, role balance and couples
- Manual emails to answer every participant
- A separate payment tool, disconnected from your selection
- A waitlist kept by hand, never up to date
The result: hours of rework, errors, and no reliable view of your event.
Built for selective admission, not for ticketing
Eventbrite or Cvent are well suited to classic ticketing. Media Luna answers a different need: running selective admission - making genuine selection decisions (role balance, geographic origin, level, couples), then converting them into payments and a filled event. It's a difference in kind, not in price.
From pre-registration to event day, all in one place
Media Luna does more than sell tickets. The platform covers the full cycle of a marathon with constrained admission, from pre-registration to access control on event day.
The product in action
QR code access control
On event day, your staff check people in and out from a simple phone.
Ambassadors
Your promoters have their own code: recruits linked to them, discount and payment handled directly.
Tickets, options and merch
Passes, meals, t-shirts: everything is ordered and paid in one place.
Also organising festivals? The programme and per-class selection are covered.
Public day-by-day programme, registration with class choices, waitlisted wishes on full classes, class-by-class fill tracking, full passes, seminars and packs: the festival extension applies the same admission mechanics to your entire programme.

Class cards paid online or in cash, even in instalments, classes deducted with a scan of your smartphone, and students who know where they stand without having to ask you. The same tool as for your tango workshops and events.

Built in the field, not from a blank page
Media Luna is built from the real needs of tango marathon organisers: handling registrations, balancing roles, tracking couples, managing the waitlist and requesting payment at the right moment. The product is currently in a pre-pilot phase with a partner organiser, ahead of a wider opening.
Media Luna is designed for small organising teams, often volunteers, who want to stay in control without multiplying tools.
Founded by Jan Tumpach, tango dancer and DJ, with first-hand knowledge of the practices, codes and constraints of tango events.
Zero fixed costs. A commission aligned with your success.
No subscription, no setup fees. A simple commission, agreed with you based on the format and volume of your event. You only pay when you get paid.
- No annual subscription
- No setup fees
- Commission only on collected payments
What organisers ask us
- How do you manage pre-registrations for a tango marathon?
- Dancers pre-register through a mobile form. All requests land in a single review queue, where you accept, waitlist or decline each one, without spreadsheets or manual emails.
- Can you accept participants before asking them to pay?
- Yes, that's the core of Media Luna. Payment is only triggered once a registration is accepted: you keep control over the selection, and only approved participants pay for their place.
- Does Media Luna replace Eventbrite?
- Eventbrite is designed for classic ticketing, where anyone who wants a ticket can buy one. Media Luna answers a different need: collecting registrations, making selection decisions (role balance, couples, level, origin), then taking payment after acceptance.
- How do you handle the leader / follower balance?
- You track the leader / follower balance, couples and selection criteria from the dashboard, without a single spreadsheet formula.
- Can couples register together?
- Yes. A couple is handled as one unit: accepted or declined together, never a half-decision. If one partner is promoted from the waitlist, the other follows automatically.
- How does the waitlist work?
- When a place opens up, you can promote someone from the waitlist and trigger their acceptance and payment journey.
- Does it work for festivals, encuentros or workshops?
- Yes. Festivals with classes are supported natively: public day-by-day programme, class choices at registration, waitlisted wishes on full classes, class-by-class fill tracking, full passes, seminars and packs. Encuentros and workshops use the same framework: registration, selection, payment after approval.
- Are payments secure?
- Payments are processed by Stripe. Media Luna never stores participants' card details.
- How much does Media Luna cost?
- No subscription, no setup fees. Media Luna takes a commission on collected payments: you only pay when your participants pay.
- Can participants track their status?
- Yes. Every dancer has their own space to follow the progress of their registration, acceptance, payment and ticket, without writing to you.
