Information and policies for hiring out Broadcast:
Hire Fee: Fee is fixed as below unless otherwise clearly agreed with a member of Broadcast management.
HIRE FEE
£120 (Sunday – Thursday), £150 (Friday & Saturday)
Should the show have a high attendance and bar spend, the Sunday to Thursday hire fee may be waived. This will be determined by broadcast staff on the night not by the promoter. There may be an additional charge for PRS, explained below.
PRS Charge
‘PRS for Music’ is the name of the collections agency that ensures artists are paid for performances of their compositions (or ‘works’). If any artists performing at your show are registered with PRS then you will need to pay us 4.2% of your ticket sales total figure, which we pass on to PRS, who in turn pay the money out to the artists. If no band performing is registered with PRS then we do not need to charge you for PRS.
Example charge
75 tickets @ £5 each = £375
4.2% of £375 is £15.75
So the PRS due on the show is £15.75
Your hire fee includes use of our in house engineer. It is advisable that you forward any tech specs about your show to engineer@broadcastglasgow.com when possible.
Hire waive policy:
We are happy to be able to offer free hire for strong attendances on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday night hires. To qualify for this the show much reach an attendance threshold of 50% of its total capacity. Roughly 75 people. Please note: this is determined by our staff on hand at the venue, and NOT by the promoter/hiree.
Deposits:
We do not require a deposit unless stated, but we reserve the right to ask for one in situations where we feel that it is required.
Cancelation Policy:
A cancelation fee is required if a show is cancelled at 28 days or less for a weekend, or 14 days or less for a weeknight.
Tickets:
It’s possible for us to allocate an online allocation of tickets for your show, these are usually etickets that are collected at the box office, although occasionally we can do physical tickets as well*. If you wish to do this please make this clear when confirming the show.* For physical tickets there is a 15P charge per ticket and an additional charge for postage.
Backline:
There is no instrumental backline available at the venue, bands should source their own gear.
Merchandise:
Our staff will show you where you can set merchandise up, this is the ONLY area you can sell merch. Absolutely no adhesive tape must be used on any wall, in the case of any damage caused by this, the promoter/hiree WILL be recharged a £10 reinstatement charge per instance.
Important additional information!
Please beware that we are only able to offer the above rates by subsidising the show costs through bar income.
Any after-show or directly related event on the same day as your hire will need to be approved via us in advance for the above-quoted fees to apply.
If you wish to do this without our approval then we will need to charge the full venue hire cost at a rate of £300. This will be discounted by £25 for each £100 of bar income that the event generates.
