• Ticket Pricing & Capacities

  Artists set their own ticket price & minimum capacity on the platform. We find that artists generally charge around 50% more per ticket than a venue show. The most effective minimum capacities are generally between 30-60. Hosts can always add more tickets, but it's important to give them an achievable target. Please note: A booking fee will be added to each ticket to cover online processing and performance rights organisations. This is converted in  hosts local currency, equivalent toVery popular

• Artist Booking & Cancellation Policy

  Deposits In order to secure a date, hosts must pay a deposit, which is equivalent to 10 tickets. If the host is successful in selling the minimum required tickets, their deposit is returned. However if they're a little short, we'll use a portion of the deposit to make up the minimum capacity. Note: Deposits are paid to the artist in advance as soon as gigs are on sale, allowing artists to book travel and accomodation easily. Deposits are paid in full, with service fee being deductedSome readers

• PA's & Production

  We think it's best to have a PA if you are playing outside or indoors to more than 50 people. If you need assistance in hiring a PA and/or sound engineer, we can help! We have a database of production managers and hire companies across the globe. We'll simply take their fee off at settlement. In all other instances, we'd suggest playing acoustic if possible. This will make your show intimate and a more engaging experience. If you have any other questions about the space, such as available pSome readers

If you’re running late or arriving early, contact your host (your gig details, including playing times and the Host's phone number, are available in your Dashboard) When you arrive ask your host where to set up and for somewhere to store your things. We’ve asked them to have a ‘Green Room’ available for you to warm up and relax in before you perform. Don’t be afraid to tell the host you’re ready to plaSome readers

• Can I bring my friends?

  It’s OK to bring along one friend to a Parlour Gig as another pair of hands and also for moral support. Although, as Parlour Gigs are private, and it's up to the host who is invited, you'll need to clear guests with them prior. Don’t rock up with a huge party of people, unless it's ok with the Host.Few readers

  Parlour takes care of the complexity of currency conversions, so that artists can focus solely on where they want to play in the world, without having to worry about exchange rates and manual calculations. When you sign up for Parlour as an artist, you choose your home country. The currency of your ticket price is then determined based on that country. So for example, if you're from the USA your currency will be USD, if you're from Great Britain your currency will be GBP, and so on. WhFew readers
