With a rise of late-night attacks on women, the LGBTQ+ community and those more vulnerable, could more be done to support those travelling far and wide to performing in our venues?
GigRealm and Uber have joined forces to help alleviate this problem for entertainers who deliver the amazing events we see across our sector.
All entertainers using the GigRealm platform will be offered free rides and credits to use, to safely get to and from their gigs. A real gamechanger for not only the entertainers but the venues who book them.
But will free travel really help? It’s about building trust and rapport between venues and their entertainers. By taking care of their travel needs, venues demonstrate a commitment to the entertainer’s well-being, fostering a sense of community and loyalty that is invaluable in today’s competitive hospitality landscape. They are also providing something that is incredibly important to this community. Logistics are sometimes forgotten when you book a band or DJ. It’s kind of the entertainer’s problem to worry about travel; but it is your event. Every bit of support helps to make the event run smoothly and delivers a higher quality event for customers.
For operators and their venues, this initiative by GigRealm and Uber is an opportunity to attract top-tier talent. By alleviating transportation concerns, venues can help to mitigate their own concerns so they don’t need to worry about whether the entertainer is going to arrive on time, whether their train has been delayed or even where will they park. It helps to create a more seamless and high-quality experience, where entertainers arrive, stress free, on time and ready to perform.
At its core, prioritising the safety of all performers, is the critical component. It assures that hospitality venues are not just spaces for entertainment but also safe havens for diverse talent to thrive. It’s about building strong relationships between venues and their entertainers so that local communities and economies can thrive, through high quality performances. Initiatives like this help to give tangible solutions to the problem, backed by the wider GigRealm platform which also makes organising and putting on the actual events much easier.
