The act pack

One message to every accepted act with its call time, venue and what it needs for the day.

2 min read For: festival organisers Festivals

The act pack is one message to every accepted act with what it needs for the day: call time, running position, venue, how to get in, tech, the on-the-day contact and its pass codes.

Write and send it

  1. 1

    Open the festival, then Act pack.

    A festival's act pack page on a computer: arrival times, tech details and comps.
  2. 2

    Fill in At the door, Venue notes, Tech and the On-the-day contact. These are the same for every act.

  3. 3

    Leave Include each act's pass codes on, and issue the performer comps first (Passes, then Performer comps) so the codes are in it.

  4. 4

    Tap Save and send. The packs go out over the next few minutes, one email to each act in a show, with its call time, running position and the venue's address and a map link.

  5. 5

    Sending again does nothing unless you have changed the pack. Acts that are not in a show yet are skipped until they are.

Acts in several shows

  1. 1

    An act that plays more than one show gets one pack that lists each show with its own day, call time and place.

  2. 2

    The pack names only the venues that act plays. It never lists the others.
