If you are the concert coordinator, you have the
responsibility of booking college shows in
your campus. You need to have knowledge about booking them and promote your
show. Determination of the budget is a very important stage that will help you
analyze how the concert shall go. Additionally, you must also keep in mind the
other important aspects such as arranging for beverages, ordering food, running
the show and holding meetings.
Here we shall discuss some of the important aspects that you
need to keep in mind while booking for shows in your campus:
- There are many involved behind the scenes. You need to get in touch with them. You must speak to them in advance as this shall prove extremely essential for success of the program.
- You must take a look at the prices before you finally book. If you are booking an agency, you must get a list of price for the different acts. You can browse online to know about the different range of price. This will help you get a better idea about how the pricing work.
- While booking a concert you need to choose a genre. This should be easy as all you need to do is keep in mind the interest of the students in the campus. Decide if you would want smaller acts or big ones. This will help you choose the shows easily.
- You must shop responsibly keeping in mind your budget. Guidance and advice from the experienced can be a valuable resource for you.
- Select a date when you want to organize the show. You must have the time to book additional acts in cases when artists are not available or are not ready to accept your offer.
- Once you have decided to book, you need to place your bid. You will be sent contracts and riders when your offer has been accepted by an artist. Riders are backstage requirements and the technical support systems that the artists need.
- You must secure the final details. Once the procedure for booking college shows is over, you must finalize price of the ticket, work out the ticket sale points, prepare the venue, hire a team of production, and arrange for the riders and a comfortable area backstage for the artists.
