Hey guys. After doing few Research regarding on how to organise a concert i've provide few step guideline for all of us:

Step 1
Arrange for and manage artist booking and contract negotiations. Contact management agencies that represent the artist. Attend to every aspect of the contract, which includes artist payment, production requirements and contract riders, backstage accommodations, food, drink and other artist expectations.

Step 2
Contract a venue. A concert promoter negotiates an artist's contract while negotiating the appropriate venue. Book a concert hall that matches expected ticket sales. Negotiate, for example, a larger venue for a major rock band than for a stand-up comedian. Research the size of the audience the talent will attract. The appropriate venue may be a 20,000-seat arena, a field or a nightclub. Each site will have individual demands.

Step 3
Schedule sufficient time before a booked date to allow for ample advertising and preparations. A concert promotion company, i recommends beginning 14 weeks before the date to begin advertising, arranging ticket sales and ticket printing. Concert promoters handle ticket sales and payments to the artist, venue and merchandisers.

Step 4
Advertise the event. Evaluate the amount and type of advertising that meets the event's needs. Large concerts, for example, often require a media blitz. Advertise in sufficient time before the concert date. Concert promoters must calculate an ad budget and do advertising placement that will drive ticket sales to turn a profit from the event. Advertising may include TV, radio, newspaper and online placement.

Step 5
Attend to production and audience details. The artist or the venue (the house) will provide sound and lighting staff. The website Creative Concert Promoters cautions concert promoters to make sure that concessions and restrooms meet the audience's needs at the particular event.

That's a great information right there,
but we should put the do's and dont's during our festival so we can prevent bad things from happening. maybe we could put these do's and dont's on our website:

1. Do… make your campsite decor fun and functional.
Don’t… bring anything irreplaceable that you couldn’t bear to lose.

2. Do… make friends with event staff — they will show you the way.
Don’t… be rude and forget to say heyyyy to the horses.

3. Do… pack a small camping stove or grill to make food.
Don’t… light the propane stove if it’s making a weird noise.

4. Do… bring a pop-up tent.
Don’t… assume your pop-up tent has super powers and will keep your coolers ice cold. Check coolers regularly to make sure the ice hasn’t melted.

5. Do… accessorize even when you’re roughing it.
Don’t… forget to bring lots of wet wipes to get rid of the dirt and sweat that will crud up your accessories.

6. Do… wear comfy shoes OR get a ride to and from the campsite to the fest.
Don’t… make the mistake of having to trek a mile to and from the campsite in heels. You’ll regret it.

7. Do… use tarps to block harsh elements like wind, dirt and sun.
Don’t… assume you have enough tarps. More tarps are always welcome!

8. Do… opt for solar powered lights to supplement battery powered lights.
Don’t… forget to charge solar lights in the sun ahead of the event.

9. Do… meet your camping neighbors.
Don’t… lower your romance standards just because you’re at a festival.

10. Do… enjoy the beautiful outdoor scenery.
Don’t… get caught off guard by the dust in the air, especially at festivals in the desert or during the summer. Protect your lungs with a bandana tied around your nose and mouth or a half-face respirator.

here's what i found a great do's and dont's for our guest of the festival Cool Cool

hi everyone.as all you know, i as a financial manager so here some information that i found and want to share with you. it is a strategies for our company to improve our profit.

Once you have identified and measured your key profit drivers, you should develop strategies to grow them, without increasing costs. Making your business more profitable involves looking at ways to increase sales revenue as well as decreasing your costs and benchmarking your business to see where you can save money.

You should also prioritise the strategies you've chosen to improve your profit so you can focus on the most important ones.

Strategies to increase sales revenue
Increase productivity of your staff - recognise and reward staff contributions with staff performance reviews, and teach them sales skills and how to upsell products so customers make multiple purchases at one time
Develop new product lines - survey your customers about new products
Find new customers - new customers can help grow your business
Find new markets - use market research to determine if you could expand your business into new areas
Customer service - improve your customer service and develop a staff training program
Increase your prices - check if you have priced your goods and services correctly and if you could increase prices without reducing sales
Price discounts - consider price discounts and promotions to increase your customer base (e.g. 2-for-1 deals or happy hour)
Retail displays - use effective retail displays to increase your sales
Strategies to decrease costs
Decrease inventory - stock control is a good way to streamline your business
Decrease direct costs - make sure you have the right suppliers for your business and negotiate for better prices or discounts for buying in bulk
Decrease indirect costs - for example, try to minimise waste and errors in your business by training staff, or reduce marketing costs by using low-cost marketing techniques
Decrease overheads - for example, save energy wherever possible or try find a cheaper energy supply company
Benchmark key financials - benchmarking your business helps you compare your costs (like rent and utilities etc.) to similar businesses in your industry to see if you are paying too much
Prioritise your strategies
Once you have chosen strategies to make your business more profitable, you should prioritise them in order of importance. It's a good idea to write down your goals and the corresponding strategies to achieve them, and also how you plan to implement your strategies.

Focus on your more profitable items
Your products or services with the highest gross profit margin are the most important to your business, as they generate more money. Once you have identified your most profitable items you should concentrate on achieving higher sales targets for them. This may require you to rethink aspects of your business or to devise strategies for improvement. Consider using a business adviser to help you.

8 Marketing Tips to Sell More Tickets
1. Start Early
Whatever date we plan to begin selling  our tickets, begin a week or two before that. In fact, announce two separate dates when the tickets will be going on sale. The first will be an early bird special and should be exclusive to subscribers or customers with a membership. A discount should also be included during the early bird sale. The second date is when tickets become available for everyone else at retail price.
The early bird special and discount can also be used as an incentive to encourage customers to sign up for a membership program. Make the announcement on  our social media feeds as well as on the main social network page for  our event. Include a huge clickable “sign up” icon with a crafty call-to-action.
2. Sell Next Event’s Tickets During Current Event
If we host events on a regular basis, then use  our event to begin selling tickets for the next one. Make the announcement before the event comes to a close and offer a discount as a reward for attending the current event. Make it known that the discount is only in effect if purchased before the end of the event.
We can sell the tickets in person by setting up a booth and designating a few staff members to sell hardcopy tickets. Better yet, if we incorporated an event app for  our event, then include a customised function that allows attendees to easily order their tickets through their mobile. Speaking of apps, a service like Azavista enables organizers to incorporate a native event app into their conference for easy guest registration and data analytics.
3. Promote the Location of the Event
What are some of the nearby attractions within a cab drive distance of the venue? Are there notable landmarks worthy as a backdrop for a selfie? If  our event includes attendees from other cities, states, or countries, then they might be interested in stopping by these locations. If there are popular restaurants, bars, or clubs nearby, have a few staff members take a selfie or two at these locations and use the pics for promoting the event as a whole.
Here’s an example of promoting  our event while mentioning the area:
Our event is located within a stone’s throw of San Francisco Pier where we’ll be able to take in the breathtaking site of the beautiful coast. While we’re here, stop by Luigi’s Ice Cream for a delicate treat that has become a local favorite for over 50 years.
Why should we promote the area? For one thing, promoting nearby businesses and attractions is a selfless thing to do. Secondly, it gives attendees some site seeing benefits that adds to their overall experience and impression of  our event.
4. Start a Contest
Ticket sales skyrocket tenfold if  our staffers get involved. Have them use their own social media channels to spread word of the event. Make their efforts worthwhile by making it into a contest. Provide an incentive for those whose referrals lead to X amount of sales. The incentive can be as small as a gift card or as extravagant as a paid vacation depending on how big  our budget is.
Similarly, we can also promote a group effort and offer an incentive for the whole group if everyone’s collective efforts lead to X tickets being sold. The incentive can be an office party with full catering or a bonus in everyone’s next paycheck.
5. Make  our Event Just as Fun as It Is Educational
Sure, most people will be attending  our event to hear a guest lecturer or learn something that will benefit them in some area of their lives. However, adding a bit of entertainment value wouldn’t hurt either. Perhaps after the lectures and workshops, we can incorporate an after-party where cocktails are served.
The entertainment can include a number of activities, such as:

  • Techno dance party
  • Karaoke hour
  • Performance from a local performer, such as a musician, comedian, or dancer

Why do we need to promote the fun stuff? While the main attendees are attending for the educational content, remember that most of them will likely be bringing along spouses, children, and friends. These people are the secondary attendees and would not attend  our type of event on their own. By promoting the entertainment aspect of the event, we can appeal to this demographic.
6. Hype the Event With “Mini Events”
Create some sort of countdown where each day includes a “mini event” that helps build up anticipation for the upcoming event. The concept is similar to the whole “12 days of Christmas” scheme where children create a chain out of construction paper and remove a link as each day passes to commemorate being one day closer to Christmas.
Here’s an example of what we can add for each countdown:

  • Day 5: live webinar
  • Day 4: social media contest with ticket giveaways
  • Day 3: video testimonial featuring attendees from the last event.
  • Day 2: guest blog post from one of the event’s guest speakers
  • Day 1: a “see we there” video message

 our countdown should start at least 10 days before, though the example above provides some ideas of what we can incorporate. The end of every mini event should include a call-to-action encouraging followers to buy their ticket if they haven’t already done so.
7. Get  our Sponsors Involved
A big turnout would benefit  our sponsors just as much as it would benefit we. This is why we should encourage them to get involved and promote the event using their own social media outlets.  our sponsors are likely more well established than we are, hence why they have the budget to fund  our event. As such, they also likely have a larger connection base.
While the bulk of the promotion is  our responsibility, don’t be afraid to ask  our sponsors to promote the event by linking to  our ticket sales page.
8. Create Different Ticket Options and Packages
This is a good option if  our event is held over the course of several days. There will be members who may decline to attend due to not being able to attend the whole event. For this reason, create different ticket types to accommodate those who may only be able to show up for part of the event. We can, for example, have the regular ticket that’s good for the whole event and another that’s good for just the first day or two. The latter, of course, should be sold at a cheaper price.
We can also do the same if the event includes an after-party. We can keep that part of the event separate from the educational workshops and conferences that come before. Create ticket options that are good for both events, good for workshops only, and good for the after-party only.
Selling Tickets Is all in a Day’s Business
Selling tickets really isn’t hard work at all. We just have to make it really worthwhile for guests to attend and market the hell out of the event. If all the steps are in place, then there really isn’t any reason why tickets shouldn’t sell like hotcakes.
