Check your date before you promise it to anybody.

Send us the date you have in mind and we'll tell you within one business day whether it's open. Holding a date takes a $500 deposit, and that deposit isn't a fee sitting in a drawer. It buys your online ticket store, your promo materials and your planning guide, so the work starts the day you book.

How far ahead you should be asking

You can book us with less notice than this and plenty of groups do. But ticket sales are the single biggest predictor of what you raise, and tickets need weeks to sell. Here is the honest version.

3+ months out

Ideal. You get first pick of dates, time to line up sponsors, and a full selling window. This is where the biggest nights come from.

6 to 8 weeks out

Comfortable. Enough runway to promote properly and still get a good date. Most of our groups land here.

3 to 5 weeks out

Tight but doable if your group can move fast on promotion. Call rather than email so we can be straight with you about it.

Under 3 weeks

Only if you already have a captive crowd. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth doing or whether you should push it back a month.

Season

Which parts of the year fill up first

Fundraising has a rhythm and everyone hits the same weekends. If your date falls in a busy stretch, book earlier than you would otherwise.

Busiest
September to November

School year momentum plus year-end giving. Weekend dates go first. Book by midsummer.

Busy
February to April

Spring fundraising season. Strong turnout weather and no holiday competition.

More open
January and May

Quieter on the calendar, and often easier to get the venue you actually want.

Depends
June to August

Schools are out and families travel, but church and community groups do well in summer. Ask us.

Before You Send

Three things worth deciding first

Where is the room?

You don't need it booked, but you should know what you are aiming for, and how far it is from us. Most groups get a venue donated. Venue types that work β†’ Β· Travel & distance β†’

Which night of the week?

Friday and Saturday sell best almost everywhere. Thursday works for church and school crowds and gives you more date options.

Which show do you want?

You can decide this later, but it helps to have a leaning. Compare all three shows β†’

Rather just talk it through?

Call and you will get a straight answer on your date in about five minutes, plus a realistic sense of what your room might raise. No script, no pitch deck.
