5 Simple Tips to Help Sell Out Your Next Show
To pack a 200-seat room, you need a solid plan. Whether you use paid ads or promote the show yourself, your personal social media and email are the true engine behind your ticket sales.
The "Simple 5" Posting Rules
01 /
Give the Details
Always include the Day, Time, City, and Venue Name in your post. If fans have to hunt around the internet to figure out when or where you are playing, they will give up and stay home.
02 /
Always Include the Ticket Link
Never post a photo or video without putting the direct ticket link in the caption or the very first comment. If people have to exit the app and search Google to find your tickets, you will lose sales instantly.
03 /
Post images and videos
People want to hear and see you! Post a quick 20-second clip of a rehearsal or a past live show. A video feels alive, exciting, and real. Show your excitement for the show.
04 /
Email Your Inner Circle
Your email list is your most powerful asset. Send a weekly update to your subscribers sharing your excitement about the show. Send one final email two days before the event saying: "Only a few seats left!" This creates a healthy rush to buy before it's too late.
05 /
Show the Behind-the-Scenes
Post a raw photo of your gear, your setlist, or your band practicing. It builds a personal connection and reminds people that real human beings are coming to town to perform.
The Bottom Line
You are the star of the show. By following these five simple steps, you make it incredibly easy for your fans to show up, support your music, and pack the venue.
