8. We will be using an online ticket agency to sell tickets for shows. If you want to sell an allocation of tickets for your show yourself then we are happy for you to do so however please discuss with us so we don’t sell too many tickets.
9. Very often ticket sales pick up in the days leading up to the Festival and on the show day itself, including walk-ins. Because of this we ask you not to cancel your show for tickets sales reasons as this results in complaints from venues and customers and additional costs to your promoter.

Nottingham Comedy Festival will pay any PRS fees however failure to notify the Festival in advance of music will make the artist liable for any fees or penalties.
13. If you are using music as part of your show then we will send you the PRS form to complete in advance of your show, PRS ask for this to be completed before your performance. If you do not know what music you will be using then please inform us of this and ensure you complete the form within 2 weeks of the performance.
