Requesting Programming

Edited

Every GigFinesse account has the ability to request additional programming for its venue. No special permission is needed.

To request a show, click Add Event in the top-right corner of the Calendar or My Shows page and select Request Show. You can also open the Requests tab on your navbar and click New Request.

In the Request Additional Programming form, you'll first let our team know:

  • the stage where you'd like the event to take place

  • the start and end date and time of your event

  • the type of performer you'd like to book (e.g. a solo live performer, a band, a DJ, or a non-musical act)

Please send talent requests at least four weeks before the event date. Requests received after the four-week mark may be subject to limited availability and/or rush order pricing.

Once you select a date and a performer type, a few more questions will appear:

  • Subcategory: the specific style or act you're looking for, such as Jazz for a band or Top-40 for a DJ

  • What's the occasion: the theme or reason for the event (e.g. a holiday activation, a private event)

  • Talent Budget per Set: events with a talent spend of $1,000 USD or more require a 50% deposit on signing, with the remainder due in full before the event date

  • Do you need to approve the performer before booking?: choose Yes if you'd like to review performer options before we confirm. Pre-approval isn't available for events within four weeks of the request; in that case, we'll book the best available performer.

  • Additional Dates (optional): any other dates you'd like the same programming

  • Curation Notes & Preferences: anything else that will help us find the right performer

Upon submitting, our team will be back to you within one business day with options if possible and clarifications if necessary.
