Last Update 2 months ago

Agents can be useful, but their fees add up. One independent venue in Manchester switched to GigRealm and saved over £1,200 in just four months.


How?

· Booked directly through GigRealm, avoiding agent commissions

· Used transparent artist profiles to find the right fit with no “mystery fees”

· Automated contracts and payments, reducing admin time


The venue’s manager says, “GigRealm made it easy. No middlemen, no surprises, and the acts love getting paid fast. The savings go straight into improving our sound system and event marketing.”


Direct booking isn’t just about saving money, it’s about more control, clearer communication, and better relationships with artists.
