Frequently Asked Questions
Do we have to be available for the entire festival?
No. You can do one day, a weekend or the length of the festival.
Do we curate the shows or can Anywhere Fringe do it?
We can either leave it all to you and you can find artists registered with us on Eventotron or your own sources, we can provide advice while you curate or we can program it with you and manage it all for a fee.
In the past, the most popular approach is that you curate in coordination and with advice with us. You know your venue best and we know the acts and the shape of the overall festival.
Can we find our own acts separate to the Anywhere Fringe show registrations?
Absolutely. Any acts that are to be part of the Anywhere Fringe print/online program will need to register through us before the deadline.
Can we use our details from 2022 Fringe Brisbane?
Yep, we've already copied it across to 2024 Anywhere Fringe ready for you to make changes and confirm, so you don't have to put all the details in again. Just log into eventotron using the same email (reset password if it was all too. long ago) and just do a bit of tweaking. Easy.
Wasn't Anywhere Festival about rent free venues? Can we charge?
Yes, you can where you are providing a space with resources and artists are hiring you as they would a performance space. We are encouraging people towards hub spaces where costs can be shared as well as non traditional spaces and venues who put the artists first. If you're offering a non-traditional space to be used as is with no support and where artists need to work around you, then we will be encouraging artists to go with rent free venues.
Can we use our own box office?
The Anywhere Fringe system has no inside charges to artists or to you. If you have an exclusive agreement with a ticketing provider and must, we would just add that:
In past festivals, we saw a 65% reduction in ticket purchasers looking to purchase different show tickets at the same time when one of the shows was on a different site.
Our box office team will also prioritise supporting queries and promoting events ticketed through our box office where we have the ability to know tickets sales at our finger tips.
Our box office team can help manage show changes and cancellations
Our system gets populated with a button from the eventotron.com show registration system.
What about show clashes in a big festival?
There no doubt will be clashes, but we will be working with you and acts to create a program where every venue has space. We will be operating first in best dressed so for example, if you have already programmed a big cabaret event on one night, we would be advising other cabaret acts of this and advising against clashing.
What conditions are there?
There is no cost to register as a venue but to guarantee quality, all interested venues will be vetted before being made available for artists to search
Venues at Anywhere Fringe need to put out on every second seat of all events at your venue from festival launch in May and during the festival at festival events. We will provide the programs to ensure you never run out.
Ensuring your social media, enews and web site gives space to the shows you have and physical programs and poster are placed from full program launch onwards
Ensuring "Participating in Anywhere Fringe" logo placement
If you do your own ticketing, we need an opt in to join the Anywhere Fringe mailing list. See above for more.
Work with the performance makers as agreed.
