The feature is available for every type of event & venue so that you don’t limit the creative planner in you, however, here are 5 events that truly deserve Reserved Seating. 

1. Live Music Concerts 

You’re truly letting the early bird and enthusiastic fans feel the magic of their musicians up close. It’s a feeling that is next to none. Reserved Seating allows them to choose exactly where they would like to be seated or standing to have their ultimate event experience. Reserving their tickets beforehand puts their minds at ease in having to avoid long queues and get preferential treatment. They’re paying top dollar for a top-notch experience and that’s what they should get. 

2. Gala Dinner

Food is a multicultural social glue that brings people together. Masterchef cookouts and gala dinners are perfect for reserved seating where people will be in their best attire not looking to sweat it out in a queue or haggle their seats with others. In the case of a community dinner service as well, reserved seating gives an option to the entire family, especially the senior citizens and kids to have a great time rather than hunting for seats as the door opens. Food is meant to be enjoyed in peace and this is exactly what Reserved Seating achieves. 

3. Charities and Fundraisers

Benefit music concerts and dinners for charities and fundraisers are also well-suited. As an event presenter, you might invite a host of high profile celebrities, patrons, and investors to open their hearts and wallets for the community. Make sure you don’t make them feel anything less than a VVIP. With our feature, you can hold their seats and entire sections for their seating pleasure in advance. Make sure you use our event ticketing platform to streamline the process and get a FLAT 50% rebate.

With precise planning and a reserved seating arrangement, a Casino Royale night brimming with poker tournaments, celebs, VIPs, and corporate sponsors can be a sure shot success. Keep these events ticket priced high to keep the guest list exclusive. Just keep that guest list and YapScan in hand for ease of check-in.

Passionate

What differentiates average talent buyers from a great one is their passion for the performing arts. If your talent buyers share the same taste in music as you, they are a good fit to match your requirements. A professional driven by passion will go above and beyond to find the perfect artist for your venue. 

Experienced 

Talent booking is a ruthless process which is why you should hire someone with thick skin.  They should be able to navigate through this wild and harsh industry. An experienced talent buyer will think 10 steps ahead before making a move and come with a contingency plan in case Plan A goes off track. 

Resourceful 

The world of showbiz is based on trust built over time. Your talent buyer will have attended a wide genre of events in his lifetime and garnered trust in the talent buying and entertainment industry. A person who has a powerful network is like your personal Event Setup Wizard that can sell out your venue. For that definitive edge, you can get onboard with Yapsody – the No. 1 provider of headline concert services.

Efficient Communicator & Negotiator

A typical day in the life of a talent buyer involves communicating and negotiating with musicians, agents, managers, venue owners, and so on. You will need some whose core skills involve bargaining, sharp communication, and a convincing spirit. Talent booking involves a lot of paperwork and legalities, so your talent buyer needs to be tactful and ethical.

Receptive

Being in touch with the latest trends in the industry is a pre-requisite for any talent buying agency. The world is evolving rapidly and so is the entertainment industry. Make sure your talent buyer is on deck with all the latest developments so that your venue is not missing out on anything. They should also be receptive to the local entertainment scene because you never know when you might encounter new talents in the community.
