Information You Need When Booking an Event
Once again as opposed to answering a question I’m going to speak about something that happens every day in our office. Sometime between 7:30am and midnight people call wanting to book Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Garth Brooks, Kanye West…. You get the idea. When you get off of work go home, watch some television, and relax. You are not a concert promoter. If you’re not willing to loose hundreds of thousands of dollars doing this then all you’re doing is being a curiosity seeker. The people who call us should have the following things in order.
- The act you are looking for.
- Date of the event.
- Venue where it will be held (which has been cleared already with the facility).
- Who is paying for all the additional costs besides and above the bands fee.
- Do you have the money to send a 50% deposit?
- Who will be signing the legal papers.
- Will there be other acts on the show.
- If it’s an outside event who will be providing power and staging
And most important of all, what is you’re realistic budget for talent? Bryan Adams will not be playing your wedding for $20,000 no matter how big of a fan you are.
