Your gigs will also be featured on the YEG Live events page in rotation with other artists.
You can also pull a customizable gig calendar widget into your own MySpace, Facebook, or other website. YEG live can even synchronize your gig calendars in MySpace, ReverbNation, Sonic Bids. (future enhancements)

 PLUS, SELL TICKETS TO YOUR SHOWS ONLINE
Your fans can buy tickets to your shows quickly, easily, and securely using our online ticketing system. You'll be automatically notified of how many tickets have been sold so you can adjust your promotions accordingly.
Unlike 'the other guys,' we don't charge a fee to set up e-tickets for your shows! You just need to have a premium artist profile. We charge just 6.9% commission² on the ticket amount. Patrons will pay only $1.99 per ticket as a service charge.

 BUILD YOUR FAN BASE
If the fact that thousands of Edmontonians will be finding out about your shows, checking out your profile (and listening to your tracks), and deciding to come to your shows is not enough, consider this...
Every night, we send out YEG Live representatives armed with great YEG Live swag to randomly drop in to shows that have been ticketed using our site. They'll be giving away a bunch of free prizes to random YEG Live e-ticket holders in your audience.
|
|
 FIND OUT WHO CAME TO YOUR SHOW
After your show, we'll provide you with details about who bought tickets to your show.³
This means you can stay in touch with them, get feedback, and tell them about other upcoming events.
|
|
 AND GET PAID!
Sometimes this is what it's all about...
And with events ticketed through YEG Live, you'll have a good idea of what your show will be earning even before you step on stage!
You can choose our Express Payout service4 and be paid via PayPal within 48 hours of your show, or be paid within 10 days via PayPal with our Standard Payout service. Although PayPal can deposit directly into your chequing account, you can also request a printed check that we'll mail out to you with in 10 days.4
Also, we make sure YOU get paid fair and square for your advance tickets. Events registered at YEG Live Partner Venues are set up in advance with a transparent and pre-arranged payout split formula, so there are no surprises and the end of the show!

WE KNOW HOW TO CONNECT YOU TO YOUR LOCAL MARKET!
You might be thinking, "But I have a FaceSpace and MyBook page already! Why should I pay for a premium profile on YEG Live?"
Well, the answer is simple: YEG Live is quickly becoming the authoritative source for live music information in Edmonton. We won't be replacing social networking profiles, but a profile on our site gets you connected to folks in Edmonton – people who can and will come to your shows, buy your merch and CDs, and join your fan base. Because we work directly with local venues and local media, we get you the exposure you need to succeed, and we understand your needs as Edmonton-based musicians.
Our experience in the local live music scene has taught us that everyone in the industry will do well only when more money ends up in the pockets of the musicians. Artists, and their audiences, come first!
Our goal is to help you achieve the success that your talent deserves!
WE MAKE IT EASY FOR MUSIC LOVERS IN EDMONTON TO DISCOVER YOU, GET TO YOUR SHOWS, AND BECOME FANS
