The Live Booking Checklist

A fillable worksheet for the next time a promoter says “sell 20 tickets first.” Page 1 is the pay to play test: six yes or no questions that tell you in two minutes whether a show is worth taking. Pages 2 and 3 walk you through building your own stages instead: the local residency (five places near you that already have a crowd on a weeknight, plus the exact pitch to the owner) and the co headline swap (two partners, one room, the door math, and the pre-show checklist). Fill it in on your phone or print it and use a pen.
