What could go wrong? | How will you prevent it? |
An artist may not show up. | Have contact details for all artists who are involved to get an update on their whereabouts and know in advance if there will be a problem with their arrival. |
We may not earn enough money to fund the event. | Applying for grants or crowdfunding the event will help us to achieve the budget we need for the event. |
Weather Conditions. | Recommending audience members check the weather and dress appropriately for walking between venues in case of rain. |
Overcrowding. | Having security on the doors to make sure that venues do not exceed capacity at any given time and having multiple performances occurring at once across multiple venues. |
Confusion about the event programme. | Creating a clear list of artists and timings for each venue and posting it to social media and/or adding it to posters or flyers in the venues to help attendees find the music that they want. |
Attendees don’t show up. | Not providing refunds from 24 hours before the event for cancellation so that ticket sales can still help to cover costs. |
Long queues. | Having music performances at multiple venues at once and wristbands being given to ticket-holders upon their arrival at the first venue will mean the audiences can come and go as they please without long wait times. |
Unwelcome guests (gatecrashers). | Having security employed around the event and door staff with guest lists or attendees wearing wristbands will mean anyone looking to cause trouble is less likely to do so. |
Underage Drinking. | Multiple coloured wristbands to show which attendees are underage or not will mean fewer ID checks across the venues. |
The street has a road and could be hazardous. | Speak to the council about closing off the North Parade for the event to ensure pedestrian safety. |
