- If the artist accepts your request, you will receive his official proposal.
- You can reject or accept this proposal.
I have received a proposal, what?
Every proposal is without obligation and contains the specific price that the artist asks for a performance at your event. For consumers, the price incl. VAT is shown, for business customers excl. VAT.
The proposal contains the information from your request + the requirements for the occurrence (think of available space, Rider, etc.). Any additional agreements that you have made with the artist are also in it.
Where can I view the proposal?
You will receive an email with a link to the proposal once the artist has submitted it. You can always find the proposal in your ShowBird account under Requests. You can also click on 'download as PDF' at the top right. This way you can possibly share the proposal with colleagues.
How long is the proposal valid?
If we notice 48 hours of inactivity from your side, we will send you an email you can indicate whether your request is still current or not:
- Do you need more time? Let the artist know that you are still interested.
- isn't it going to be? Then reject the proposal.
Do not take action within 24 hours after this mail, then we will assume that you no longer have an interest and we will receive your request from our system.
How do I accept a proposal?
If you agree with the proposal, then click on the [Accept] button at the bottom. You will then be directed directly to the payment page. There you can see the total price incl. VAT. You choose a payment method and confirms the booking by paying. Read more about Payment & Invoices.
The booking is finally at the time you have made the payment. You and the artist receive an e-mail to confirm. This also includes the booking contract with the contact details of you and the artist.
How do I reject a proposal?
Click in your ShowBird account under Request to [Check Request]. Then click on the [PROPOSAL] button at the bottom button. Is the proposal exactly what you expected? Then you can reject it. Indicate why you reject the proposal. In some cases, that may result in an adapted proposal from the artist.
Why would I reject a proposal?
The artist awaits your response and wants to know where he stands. Prevent artists to wait unnecessarily at your answer and therefore missing performances.
I want an option to an act, can that?
Every proposal is without obligation. We do not work with options. If we notice 48 hours of inactivity from your side, we will send you an email you can indicate whether your request is still up to date or not:
- Do you need more time? Let the artist know that you are still interested.
- isn't it going to be? Then reject the proposal.
Do not take action within 24 hours after this mail, then we will assume that you no longer have an interest and we will receive your request from our system.
Note: only when you accept and pay the proposal, a binding agreement is created. The performance is then final and immediately blocked in the artist's agenda. Read more about how our independent platform works.
What is a Rider?
A Rider is a list of all wishes and supplies around the performance of an artist. Consider, for example, the dimensions of a desired stage.
