Club Hire Info
Promoter income
Promoters’ income comes from advance tickets, cash payments on the door and card payments on the door. See below for a breakdown of how we deal with each income source here.
Our door staff also work as cashiers so you don’t have to bring one. They check tickets and collect entry fees as cash or card payments.
Advance tickets
We prefer you to sell tickets through our Resident Advisor (RA) account. Just send us the details and we do the work. Having ticket listings all on one site keeps the listings in order and is great for sales. We will pay out for your sales straight away with no deduction, usually the next morning. You can sell up to 120 tickets in advance and we usually have space for more on the door.
Tell us:
- Event title
- Lineup
- Description
- Promoter name (if you have an RA promoter account)
- Ticket price(s)
- Bank acc details to send payment to
- Send us artwork
Door cash
You can keep all of this. It will be behind the bar for you to collect. Please make sure you take your cash away with you at the end of the night.
Door card
We take 10% of this and pay the rest out to you. We will pay out for door card sales straight away, usually the next morning.
Weekend Flat Hire Fee
We charge £100 if your night is on a Friday or Saturday only. We don’t charge this on Sunday to Thursday, but we do still take the 10% from door card payments.
Ticket prices
On weekdays we prefer tickets from £3-5. ON weekends it’s usually £5-7. If you’re planning to charge more than £5 on a weekday or £7 on a weekend please discuss it with us first.
We are well aware that it can be hard to make finances work in a small venue. We’ve always been supportive of guest costs. Deals can be done event by event. If we are involved in the booking from the start then we are likely to be flexible.
Lighting engineer
Optional. A lighting engineer is available for an extra £80. We have some cool new lights and a lighting desk now. Live lighting can make a big difference to the feel of a night. The lighting engineer would have to fit into the DJ booth so it’s not perfect for everyone especially bigger crews. If you don’t ask for a lighting engineer, the lights are controlled by the bar staff and are mostly left to run, and still look ok. The engineers also have some sound tech knowledge so you’d have some support there too.
Sound Tech
We usually have the following items in stock. DJ equipment needs frequent repairs so it’s worth checking we have what you need ahead of your show:
- 3 x Pioneer CDJ2000nxs2
- 2 x Pioneer PCX1000 turntable
- 1 x Pioneer DJM900nxs2 mixer
- 1 x Condesa Carmen ISO/EQ rotary mixer
Our PA is a d&b system with Q10 tops and C7 subs with D12 amps. It’s very loud and you shouldn’t go near full volume. Don’t redline! There is no need with this much power in the system, it hurts people’s ears, and tears the speaker cones.
Drinks at the decks
We provide a box for putting your drinks in at the decks. Don’t put them anywhere else and definitely don’t allow any liquid to travel across any equipment. Repairs and replacements are very very expensive for us, and drinks are almost always the culprit.
TIPS!
Optional. We’d really like it if you used some of your door cash to tip the bar staff. You can also tip online: https://tip.wearetipjar.com/p/snkpte
