How to organise a tardeo
A tardeo works differently from a night out: people arrive early and leave early, so almost everything has to be sold in advance. What works is a ticket with a drink included, advance tickets in tiers so people buy early, a link for each promoter and capacity control at the door, because the crowd arrives all at once.
What changes compared with a night out
At a tardeo people decide earlier and almost all arrive at the same time. There are fewer door sales and more advance ones, and capacity fills up in a short while rather than over the whole night.
The price
A ticket with a drink included is the easiest to sell: people know what they're paying for. Put it in tiers, with a short early bird, and keep the box office at the highest price.
Promotion and promoters
One link for each promoter and another for each social network: that way you know what works and whom to pay. At a tardeo groups of friends buy together, so it helps if they can invite each other.
How much it costs with Servomo
No monthly fee, just a percentage of what you sell, from 4% with no contract to 2% with a 4-year contract. Each ticket pays at least €0.30 + VAT. VIP tables and free guest lists pay no commission, and any booking fee for the buyer is set by the organiser (up to 10%).
Frequently asked questions
What time does a tardeo take place?
In the afternoon, finishing at a time when people can carry on or head home. The exact hours are set by the venue's licence.
Ticket with a drink or without?
With a drink usually sells better, because people know what they're paying for. You can have both as separate ticket types.
