Venues & the night
How to get a venue to say yes, what the deal terms mean, how to build a run of show, and how to work a door that moves.
How to build a shortlist of rooms that will actually say yes, who to email, what to put in the first message, and the site visit questions that save you on the night.
Who to email, what a fee actually covers, how a door split is written down, and the parts of an artist agreement that cause arguments at 3am when nobody wrote them down.
What a venue is actually deciding when they read your email, the six things to include, and a full worked example you can adapt.
A guest list is a budget line paid in capacity. How to decide who is on it, how to cap it, and how to run it so the door never has to make a judgement call.
A timed document that tells everyone working your event what happens when, who is responsible, and what to do when something slips.
The access information every event page should carry, what a safer-space policy has to include to be worth anything, and who is responsible when something goes wrong at 2am.
Staffing, scanning, guest lists, cash, refusals and the queue. How to run the one part of the night every single attendee experiences.
Publishing is free. Your event lands in the city map, the feed, and the weekly city articles the same day, and you get a page you can send to anyone. Free tickets, a door scanner, tracked links, and broadcasts to your followers are all included.
