Show FAQ

Does Haven have a venue fee?

Yes! Venue fees cover expenses like our in-house sound technician, security, promotion, use of our PA system, and more! Our venue fees are contingent on the price of the ticket and the demands of the show, and can be from $150 (a show with a ticket price of $10-$15) to $400 (for a show with a high ticket price and/or hospitality requirements, equipment rental, extra staffing, etc.).

I’m a self represented musician booking my own shows, how do the shows work at Haven?

For a typical DIY show, we consider at least one band to be the ‘promoting’ band. As the band contacting us to arrange the show, that’s you! That means it’s your responsibility to disseminate information to the other bands, and when the show is done we’ll pay you 100% of the ticket sales after the venue fee, and it’s your responsibility to divvy it between the other bands.

I’m a tour manager booking on behalf of band or multiple bands, how does that work at Haven?

Contact admin@havenmusichall.com directly for contract show details.

How far in advance do I need to book?

At least a month in advance.

When will I hear back?

Submissions are reviewed weekly. We try to get back to people promptly but if you don’t hear from us feel free to send a reminder email to admin@havenmusichall.com.

Are there any event restrictions?

We have the ability to do both all-ages and 19+ events. All ages events are wet/dry, meaning alcohol is still served but only to patrons over 19. Whether a show is all ages is at the discretion of management.

Our music curfew is 1am.

What kind of events are you booking?

We’re interested in booking bands, drag performers, weirdo theatre, DJ’s, anything cool! We prioritize bands/performers that perform original material. Haven Music Hall isn’t the right fit for everyone, and that’s okay!

What entails a private rental?

A rental can be a private event or an event that’s open to the public. The venue rental fee is determined by the date and demands of an event. We are selective with private event rentals, and may decline a rental request if it is beyond our capacity! Please email admin@havenmusichall.com directly for rental inquiries.
