Artist booking for Christmas and New Year events

Though our entertainment agency headquarters are based in Dubai, we operate around the world supported by large base of artists. However, sometimes even this large base turns thin and small if you inquire for artist booking only a few weeks before the Christmas or New Year Eve. Want to organize the best entertainment for your Christmas or New Year event? Then, keep reading our article.

Book in advance

When it comes to booking an artist for your event, we always recommend an “in-advance” approach. But when it comes to New Year or Christmas events, in-advance booking is a must. The matter is these holidays are international. Besides, the Christmas and New Year rush starts long before the Eve. As a result, artists are in great demand and get requests for their shows from artist management companies from all over the world. Thus, the earlier you reserve the performance, the more likely you will get it at your event.

Keep in mind, booking an artist you need not only to catch the moment when he is still available but make all arrangements according to the artist’s rider or concerning your event. At least, you need to:

• Book a venue for your event;
• Buy tickets for artist’s travel;
• Book a hotel room for artist’s accommodation.

Not to forget, since Dubai attracts a lot of tourists during the New Year holidays, some hotels experience a high occupancy level. Therefore, it can be difficult to get a room unless you reserve it long before the date. Also, you may face the same problem with flight tickets and a venue. So, we recommend you to start organizing entertainment for your Christmas or New Year event at least three months prior to the date.

Have a backup plan

A backup plan is a helpful tool to cope with unexpected issues. As an artist booking agency, we can’t but admit it is a must in the entertainment industry, especially in high season. So, what does a backup plan mean when it comes to artist booking and why do you need it? Let us answer these questions with an example.

Imagine you set your mind on a particular artist. You come to a talent agency to reserve the artist and his performance for your event. The agency sends a request and starts negotiation. As you understand, the procedure takes time. Then, it appears the artist is already engaged at the date, or his rider is over your budget and available means. Of course, you are disappointed, but what are your next actions? You have to return to the start and begin to select another artist and send requests once again. However, selecting takes time but the date of your event is getting closer. To clarify, your chances to get the artist you desire are melting with every day.

On the contrary, selecting two or more artists provides you with a good backup plan. In other words, you have a wiggle room, ready for the situation when one of the targeted artists is unavailable. Thus, you save time and increase your chances of getting the truly world best entertainment instead of being content with remains.

Try these world class entertainment ideas for your events

Perhaps, selecting NY entertainment is the most difficult task as it should be really outstanding. Something you and your guest will remember for the whole year to come.
