Turn Your Love of Concerts Into Profits!

There's nothing quite like music performed live. No matter what your musical taste is, from an unplugged acoustic guitar set to a blow off the roof rock and roll heavy metal stadium tour, live musical performances are something special. When we talk about our younger years and high school days, some of the most memorable moments are the concerts we attended and the popular acts of each generation. But those concerts didn't magically appear out of thin air -- no, there was a concert promoter who made it all happen!

Concert Promoters are the individuals or companies responsible for organizing a live concert tour or special event performance. The tour promoter makes an offer of employment to a particular artist, usually through the artist’s agent or music manager. The promoter and agent then negotiate the live performance contract. Included among the tour promoter’s various job responsibilities are: (1) obtaining venue, concert hall, entertainment centre, theater, nightclub or arena bookings; (2) pricing the event or tour; and (3) providing air, sea or land transportation. However the promoter must have upfront cash and or sponsorship financing to pay for advertising the tours of the artists. Such advertising costs, commonly include television and radio advertisements, posters, newspaper and magazine ads, online marketing and so on.
