Concert Promoter Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I'm fifteen and I plan on either being a concert promoter or something else along those lines when I'm older. I'm also considering something in cosmetology such as being a hair dresser or a make up artist. I don't have my mind completely set on anything yet, considering that I'm still young. But I wanted to know if anyone knew of any jobs that would help me get to know either of those areas better. Any ideas? (:

I work for a concert musician where my main job is to make phone calls to various halls, theaters, and auditoriums in order to book performances for him. On my resume I've listed "Personal Assistant" -- but would my responsibilities also fall under a "Publicist," "Assistant Manager," or "Promoter" title?

*please no negative comments* So I'm going to graduate in 2 years from high school, I'm getting a job soon, and I alway's get birthday and christmas money. A few years from now I'm hoping to take my best friend to a concert in another country, since I can't afford the tickets now, they will be having another concert in 2015, but it's in another country. That's not bad, except for the fact I don't know how much more thing's would cost. I'm thinking the concert will be in Austrailia or london and I just need to know how to plan ahead. Like how much will thing's cost and what not. Plus since its in another country, I want to stay there for a couple week's. Any ideas on how to plan ahead? Detailed questions are prefered. Also how to get backstage passes, if you know the answer, because we both love them.

I just recently got a job from a friend who promotes concerts and events in my town. I am new to promoting and would like to get better at it. What are good ways to "get the word out" and let everyone know about my event. This is a commission based job and would like to make some extra cash so please let me know. One idea I already have is passing out flyers for the event but I would like some more ideas. Thanks.

What kind of people are behind the scenes? What kind of people would be able to interact directly with the singer/band? I'm talking about highly visual/choreographed concerts like Madonna or Brit or Minogue have, not little concerts with just someone on the piano or something. Thanks!

I was at warped tour, and standing there watching these bands and all these people involved with the tour inspired me. I want that to be my life. I want to be in the music business. Not necessarily being the performer, but like behind the scenes. Interviewing bands, organizing the show, being a band manager, publicist. But i dont know what to do or how to get started. Can anyone help?
