Amy K. my Booking agent. We handled business professionally and was successful at getting my show done. She gave me good tips using Afton Shows guidelines to help me go out and get my tickets sold. I recommend nAfton Shows for every artist. I am **** ******** the greatest rapper of all time. I got my 1st paid show done at age 24. Thanks to Afton Shows for helping my dream come true to a complete destiny.
I just completed my first show with Afton and am quite satisfied with the support and marketing provided for my booked event! The staff was professional, and gave me guidance every step of the way from beginning to end. I was skeptical about receiving an e-check as payment, but I recieved my e-check on time as promised, and successfully deposited my payment with no issues. I just booked another show with Afton, and will come back to do an updated review if needed. so far so good, great company to work with!
I've recently been working with Afton, I have to say the all around experience has been excellent this far! My band got our first show booked and Amy Kintz, the Afton agent was extremely helpful throughout the entire process! It being our first show, my other band members and myself had tons of questions and concerns. But Amy was very helpful and quick to answer and accommodate for anything that was needed. I will be booking with Afton in the future.
Afton is, by far, the best booking company I've had the pleasure of working with. My booking rep, Ryan K., makes booking shows easy and convenient. He is always very professional and personable, finding the best possible fit of shows for me. He's understanding when i can't book a show and diligent in finding the next one. The show manager, Ariel, is also awesome. She always makes shows run as smooth as possible. She's very friendly and well organized making for a fun and easy going experience. If you're looking to book shows, Afton is the way to go.
I've been booking with Afton for over a year and I can say that I do enjoy booking with them. I'm a young, talented up and coming artist and musician. Starting out, it's hard trying to get booked for shows on your own and getting venues to let you perform, but Afton honestly gives younger or older independent artist a chance to perform and sell tickets to fans, family & acquaintances while making money for doing it. The only thing I'm not really feeling is the fact that for every ticket we sell, they get 79% or more of the money. For example, if tickets are $11 for every ticket we sell, we get $2 out of that $11.. Which is kind of lower than I or anybody else would prefer, but I guess it is somewhat fair in the long run.. Because if you think about it, there are 1,000's of other up and coming/ independent artist tying to get there name out there and nobody really knows who your are yet and venues would much rather book bigger/known artist. The only way big or small venues will let you perform is if you're willing to perform for free or if you can draw in a huge amount of fans in and you still might get payed little to nothing. If you can't sell tickets and show that you have somewhat of a fanbase then how do you expect to make money off your performances anyways? If you're looking for a place where you don't have deal with the hassle of selling tickets then Afton might not be the place for you. I'd try an open mic or something else. I personally like that challenge of having to sell a certain amount of tickets. For others I guess it's which ever way one chooses to look at it but speaking for myself, I do enjoy booking with Afton and I'd recommend Afton to any young up and coming artist.
My name is ***** ******* and I represent a metal band called Conspire based out of the Sacramento area. So far with Afton everything has gone really smoothly, we played our first show, sold a fair amount of tickets, etc. Amy has worked well with us this far. The only semi-complaint we have thus far is payment. It's been 4 days since our show and we still haven't gotten compensation for our tickets or even had an email explaining when we would get it and how.
I booked one of my acts ** ***** **** through aftonshows.com and found that the process was fairly easy and interactive. Additionally, we enjoyed the smooth vibe of both Afton and the venue. I would recommend indie artists to definitely check out Afton and give a try. We will be booking through Afton again in the near future.
