FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I bid for more than one artist?

Yes, you can bid for as many artists as you like. There is a limit however of 2 tickets per bid.

What if the artist I require is not in the database?

You will be prompted to add any artist that is not in the database. We will be monitoring and updating the database regularly.

How much should I bid?

This is very much dependent on the type of artist and size of gig you wish to attend. The more established the act and the more intimate the environment the more expensive the ticket will be.

As a recommendation if you are looking to attend a private show of just a few hundred people then you should bid a minimum of £250 or $500 for well known artists.

There is no obligation to continue with any bid once made, though we would recommend you only bid what you are actually willing to pay to see the artist. We will contact you nearer the time of the event to confirm the final price of any show and invite you to purchase should you still wish to attend.

If you want to commission an artist for a corporate or private party then please use the form in the Corporate Events section to get in touch.

How many tickets can i bid for?

Currently you can only bid for two tickets per gig, however we will review this in time.

If you want to attend a show with more people though you can invite them at the end of the bidding process by simply entering their email address. They will then receive a personalised invitation from you to sign up for the gig.

Please note that you can bid for as many different artists as you like, there are no restrictions here.

How do I know the show will happen?

Once we have agreed a show with an artist we will request that reference is made to the event on their own official website to demonstrate authenticity.

When do I have to pay?

We will contact you when a show has been commissioned, usually no more than 3 months ahead of the actual event.

At that point you will be asked to confirm you wish to purchase a ticket(s) at the price set. You will then have one week to make the payment, either by credit or debit card.

Please note that if the gig is cancelled through any fault of the artist then you will receive a full refund for the ticket(s) purchased.

Are there any other costs?

There are no other costs to attend the gig. We may offer you the opportunity to purchase recordings of the show, merchandise etc. but this will always be optional.

How many bids does it need for a gig to happen?

This varies dependent on the value of the bids, who the artist is and where in the world the show is to take place.

Clearly a private gig is going to require a larger average bid, and we would recommend at least £250 / $500 per ticket for such shows.

Do I have to be in the UK or US to bid?

No. We accept bids from anywhere in the world, it's just the pricing that is in £'s or $'s for simplicity.
