“You’ve left no stone unturned in terms of preventing all of the bad things that can happen, and I’ve definitely experienced all of those things. This is a really great platform, especially in all of the darkness we’ve all been through recently, it’s a little light of hope, especially in how you’re building it on community, you’re connecting and empowering Musicians.”

FAQs
You have direct access to the Venues – we want you to build that relationship! You communicate with the Venue just like you always have. We simply provide the technology to make your current process smoother and faster, giving you more time to plan and promote the show.
Of course! AmptUp was specifically designed to give you the most flexibility, while still letting you keep everything in one place. You can < Add a Show > manually to your calendar for any Venue that is booked off the platform, but still keep it on the same calendar for you and your team to view. However, you won’t have many of the streamlining tools like automatic payment, cancellation policy protection, and a contract with all of the details.
Only if you want them to. We have user permissions that allow you to add in key people to view messages, contracts, and calendars. For now, you will be the only person who can manage payment account information for your protection.
Musicians have repeatedly told us that waiting to get paid in cash after the show was the worst part about live gigging, so on AmptUp, Musicians get paid immediately after the show for flat fees, and with a single click for ticket or bar sales (just enter quantity). No more hanging around till 2am, or driving across town for a check, just simple, easy, payments for both sides. Musicians tell us it is the easiest payment they have ever received.
That’s our goal, but at the end of the day it’s about the relationships you build and the persistence you bring to your work. A successful pitch still requires a bit of research and finesse, but our tools streamline the process so that a Venue isn’t wasting time chasing the information they need to book you. Sign up for our newsletter to get the secret tips and tricks we’ve gleaned from hundreds of hours of one-on-one interviews with the masters of the industry to learn how to make your pitch stand out.
