A fringe run is a year of programming compressed into a few weeks, and then the diary goes quiet. Confirmed prices that shape properly: buy a festival pass for the performances you are putting on and skip the monthly plan entirely.
A pass covers the performances you programme, and the price per performance drops the more of them you book. There is no subscription behind it and nothing to cancel once the festival ends. Set one up from your dashboard when you know your numbers, and buy another next time.
Already on a monthly plan because you run shows the rest of the year too? Your festival passes come with a further discount on top.
A fringe packs a year of bookings into a few weeks. Some performances skip a step, but most go through the stages below.
Set up every performance in the run, then ask acts which days they can do. The replies are tied to the spots they apply to, so you see the whole festival's availability in one grid.
How it worksLay the run out and move acts around the calendar until it works. Nothing goes out while you plan, so no act hears about a night you might still change.
How it worksOffer performances across the whole run, one by one or all at once, and let acts answer on their own links. Their answers show up on each performance, so you can tell where the run stands at a glance.
How it worksThe day before each performance, message its acts with the running order and ask them to RSVP, and watch the double ticks come in. Once the run ends, see what each performance cost and what everyone is owed.
Ask your acts who is free and get the answers back in a form you can book straight from.
Set the survey to the spots you actually have, by paid or unpaid, spot length or venue, and share one link. Agents answer for everyone they represent at once.
More on Availability surveysEvery show gets a call sheet built from its lineup, ready to print or to follow live on the night.
Arrival times, stage times and spot lengths come straight from the lineup, and the live view keeps pace with the show as it runs.
More on Call sheetsSee where every show stands without opening it, and build the bill by dragging acts into spots.
Each show has a status that says whether it can go ahead, a lineup that shows each spot's act and whether it is planned, offered or confirmed, and its box office figures. Open any act to see their history with you, down to the no-shows, before you pencil them in.
More on At a glanceAdd your crew to the show alongside the acts, and give everyone on your team the access their job calls for.
Crew spots are in the same lineup as the acts, with shifts of their own, and everyone on your team gets a role that sets what they can see and change.
More on Crew management & schedulingRun the night itself: the screens, the music, the lights and the audience's phones, off one running order.
One running order drives the screens, the music, the lights and the audience's phones, off the same laptop the bill was booked on.
More on ShowtimeThe acts can see their remaining time from the stage, so you can put the phone torch away.
The act reads their own countdown from the stage, and you can put a line across it without leaving your seat.
More on CueSet your venue and dates up once, then fill the performances from the acts who applied.
