If you are a famous artist, or in a lesser known indie band booking gigs is always a hassle. However if you are an indie artist, it is even more difficult to book a gig. Venues often want outrageous sums to allow you to play their stage. Instead find a way to have some leverage when negotiating with venues. By setting up a show on Ticketometer and selling tickets through a new group buying concept, you can now go to venues with a guarantee of a sold out show. No more playing for empty venues and paying to play.

Steps

  1. 1
    Begin by navigating to Ticketometer.
  2. 2
    Create an artist account by clicking on the "My Account" tab at the top of the page.
  3. 3
    Scroll down until you see the "Set Up a Show" box.
  4. 4
    Fill in the form with your band's name, the city you want to play, the date, ticket price, and minimum number of tickets you are looking to sell.
  5. 5
    Your show is all set up. Now promote it so you can sell the minimum number of tickets and make sure the show happens.

Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

Tips

  • Do not forget to use the handy tools to promote your show. Once your show is set up you have the option to Tweet out a link to your Ticketometer show page, or make a status post on your Facebook wall.
  • Do not forget to reassure your fans that if the minimum number of tickets do not sell, no one gets charged. They only get charged if the show is on.

Warnings

  • If you can't sell the minimum number of tickets, the show is off and no one gets charged. So make sure to keep promoting your gig so you don't have to set up another show.
