Do You Have to Sell Tickets for an Afton Show?

Afton’s goal is to maximize crowd attendance. That is the most crucial part for making each show successful for the venue, for the artists, and for Afton. Our artists and our venues do not want us to book acts that refuse to promote or sell any tickets, or who are unwilling to do their part to bring in their share of the crowd. This is a co-promotion effort between everyone involved on our shows. This is why Afton Shows have a much higher average turnout than any other local/regional act show that other promoters put on.

1. Does Each Artist Need to Sell Tickets to Play Afton Shows?

Yes. We ask each act that books with Afton to sell at least 20 Advance Tickets.

We teach you how to not just sell the minimum of 20 Tickets. We teach our artists how to easily sell 50-100 Tickets, which earns them a guaranteed $200 – $500+ payout. If you’re willing to listen to our proven strategies your fan base will skyrocket. We have hundreds of unsigned acts just like you selling 10-20 Tickets in 1 day and being proud of their turnout. All we ask is that you put in the work, for your own benefit, and the benefit of your show.

2. Do Artists Ever Have to Pay to Play?

No! You never pay up front for a block of Tickets like some pay to play companies require, and you never have to pay for unsold Tickets. There is no risk to you when you book with Afton.

3. Afton Invests Our Money Into You to Ensure Your Show Happens

• We bankroll and pay up front for everything.
• All show costs, venue rent, venue staffing, our staffing, promotion, etc.
• On top of that, you’re guaranteed to be paid on our sliding pay scale even if Afton loses money on your show.
• Plus we pay for all of the extra perks you earn as you sell more tickets: www.MyAfton.com/Perks

So What’s In It For You?

1. You Get to Play an Awesome Show and Play for New Fans

You get to play a well attended show for your fans and all of the fans the other artists’ bring. Network with other great local musicians, impress their fans, grow your fan base.

2. Afton’s Guaranteed Payout

You make at least a $50 guarantee simply for abiding by the eContract and selling 20 Tickets. Big pay jumps happen at 35 sold ($100), 50 sold ($200), 75 sold ($300), and 100+ sold ($500+) plus any tips your fans leave for you during online checkout! www.myafton.com/artistpay
  *Did you know? When fans buy tickets with our Discount Promo Codes, that comes out of Afton’s cut, and won’t decrease your payout in any way!

3. You Earn Extra Perks as You Sell More Tickets

If you’re smart and take full advantage of our pay scale and our perks you’ll make more money and get more perks than any other show you’ll play through another venue or Promoter. www.myafton.com/perks

4. National Tour Opportunities

MyAfton artists that sell tickets and draw well get first priority at opening for the National Touring acts we bring in. We also allow our local artists to play in other surrounding Afton cities if they are drawing well for us in their home market.

5. Repeat Show Bookings

We reward our artists for effectively promoting. Acts that draw well for us always get more and more show bookings throughout the year. As soon as an act sells 20 tickets for their upcoming Afton show they are immediately eligible to book another upcoming show. So artists can play anywhere from 1 to 3 times per month.

No Risk. Free for the Artist. The Way it Should Be.

Everything we do for you is free to you, and risk free. But we cannot book artists who are unwilling to put in the work it takes to draw their fans out to their show. Let’s sellout your next show, together!
