Independent musicians walk a fine line between remaining true to their art and making a living from their music. You may not wish to spend excessive time on marketing, but if it’s up to you to fill the seats at your upcoming concert, methods of selling tickets to that event must be considered. If you believe in your music, convincing your fans to purchase event tickets is not difficult, and neither is finding new listeners and turning them into fans. Simply determine where you want to direct your efforts!
For instance, many small bands, once they develop some local following, find that they need not worry about excessive campaigns. A few Flyers, hung about town, in popular clubs and music stores, along with a few reminders on Facebook (you do have a Facebook fan page, don’t you?) suffice for the purpose of reminding fans about the details of the show. Let them know when and where they can purchase concert tickets and you’ll find yourself playing to a packed house.
In fact, some bands find that the Facebook notification is the best advertisement of all! If your supporters are on Facebook, make sure they can find you, and make sure to reach out to them through this convenient medium!
Selling event tickets online is another popular option. Many websites allow you to create a page for your concert, add all the event details, upload a photo, and then sell the tickets for you! Once you set up the event, your virtual box office is open day or night, and you can simply circulate the URL for your page. An automated system does the rest.
So, focus on your music, but set aside some time to consider new option for getting the word out. You’ll start selling more tickets to more events.

When you are selling tickets for an upcoming event, it helps to add some extra value. Particularly if you are a charitable organization, while you may hope that your guests will support you in any circumstance, you know that providing draws like food and drinks can boost the attendance for even the most boring meeting.
So, if you want to sell Event Tickets for any occasion, consider spicing up the evening with some live music.
Music helps provide atmosphere, keeps conversation lively, and helps people relax. If you’re not sure what kind of music your supporters would prefer, ask them! Whether you ring up a few helpful donors or send out and informal internet survey, you can easily learn what’s expected.
If you have a budget, you may choose to hire a popular band, orchestra, or even a string quartet, depending on everyone’s tastes. A live pianist and a vocalist can provide a lovely setting. A rock band creates a completely different event.
Even if you haven’t much money, you should be able to find a group who is willing to support you. Look around on the Internet, and local musician message boards. Perhaps there is a school group that would be happy to attend for the experience. New groups will be happy to get their first gig for a small fee, or even for the exposure and publicity of appearing at your event. A member of your organisation most likely has a teenager in a new band, and they may be quite good.
Of course, you can always hook an MP3 player up to a stereo, but don’t give up on the idea of live music. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Ask around and you’ll be surprised at how much entertainment is available for the asking.

Sure, we talked about club promotions last week, but we’re not done talking about it!

We can think of many good things about music! If you’re clever, you can too: it’s a form of expression and communication. It helps joyful times feel more joyful, and it provides a raft that floats you through times of sorrow. In addition, it’s a wonderful way to bring people together. In the spirit of melody, today we examine a few of our favourite music-themed Event Kits.
If you love Rock and Roll, there are a few directions for you. Our standard, and most popular, music design is the Rock Concert Event Kit, featuring a horde of screaming fans waiting for that golden moment when their idols appear on the stage.
However, we also have a new set of coloured Rock Concert Kits, which encapsulate that moment when the band appears before you.
Choose from red, blue, green, or purple!
If this doesn’t suit, perhaps you’d prefer an Alt.Chaos Kit for alternative shows, a Natural Riff Kit for unplugged sets, or even the Heavy Metal Kit, for all your head banging needs.
Perhaps Rock and Roll isn’t your cup of tea? Have no fear. Our massive online gallery includes a Reggae Kit, quite a few Hip Hop designs, an Event Kit for Gospel concerts, along with Jazz, Swing, Disco, and plenty of Classical Music Event Kits as well. If you’re planning any kind of concert, simply enter your search terms and you’ll find a proper Event Kit for your event!

I’m a theatre person: musicals, comedies, dramas, pantomimes. I don’t care. I just love the thrill of the stage. My boyfriend prefers live music but he isn’t particular either: he’ll take rock and roll, classical, and everything in between. On a good day, we’ll have four or five pairs of tickets tacked to our cork board, just tempting us into daydreaming about our upcoming events.
There’s something special about tickets like that. We see a lot of small shows and community theatre, and while a little generic slip that says “admit one” helps us remember our plans, it’s even more exciting to see the really special tickets, that ones that show someone has put some time and energy into customising.
It’s not hard to find relevant designs, and they don’t cost much more than plain tickets. Anyone who’s putting on a show can order tickets on-line. With a fun illustration and all the important details, the right ticket helps stir up some excitement long before your show starts.
I don’t know why anyone would want to do any less for the patrons who come out to support them!
