The charges for 2012 for an event are flexible depending on the bands we put on, how long the event etc, but as a guide, for a one day event with six bands (as per Blues at The Fold) Jigsaw Community Festivals charges a fixed fee to cover all its costs of around £3000 for the bands, professional PA and lighting plus engineers, and marketing support, plus a charge of 25% of the ticket revenue over and above £3500.

 

The charging has been set up in this way to ensure that the venues can build up the festival over the first couple of years at the base cost and that Jigsaw Community Festivals can share in the benefit as the event grows from everyone’s efforts and we can steadily evolve and develop the bands selected.

 

There is an additional charge of £400 for the marquee and stage where required to cover Public Liability Insurance, wear and tear and the cost of delivering it and the person leading the putting up and taking down. To be able to do it for the this cost the venue agrees to supply the manpower (10 people) to erect and de-erect the marquee and stage under guidance.

 

Jigsaw Community Festivals is a not-for-profit organisation. It pays ALL the performers and participants for their involvement but the Directors do not benefit from any surplus made which gets ploughed back into the organisation to build our capability to continuously improve our events and to replace and repair equipment over time.
