Problem-Solving

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.
