BOOKING PROCESS
Q: How does the process of booking an
artist work?
A: If you are pursuing a date with a particular artist you
must do the following:
| 1) |
Talk to an In Demand Talent representative to be informed of price, availability, etc. |
| 2) |
Submit a formal offer (see Offer
Form in Client Resources) |
| 3) |
All offers must be approved by
the artist's representation. No advertising, spreading
by word of mouth, etc. can be done unless your offer
is approved. |
| 4) |
Once an offer is approved, we will
forward formal contracts from our office. |
| 5) |
Contracts are to be signed and
returned. Those contracts are sent to the manager to
be signed. The manager returns contracts to us and we
forward all parties a fully executed contract. |
Q: How long will it take to get an
answer on my offer?
A: We have no way of giving you an exact time frame to expect
an answer. We will respond as quickly as each agent/manager
does.
Q: Where do I obtain promotional materials
for my concert?
A: Most of the time this information is contained in the
artist's rider. It will usually come from the record label
or manager's office. We will supply you with a photo and
biography via e-mail or you will receive one with your contracts.
Q: May I schedule radio interviews or in-store appearances
with the artist?
A: The artist’s manager must approve all interviews
and in-store appearances in writing. If you have approval,
these can be scheduled by contacting the appropriate person
listed in the artist's rider.
