# Make an offer to an artist's agent for your show

Promoters and venue bookers send dozens of offers a season, each with its own guarantee, percentage and radius clause. Keeping every offer, counter and past fee together lets your team price the next show from what the last one earned, and move an accepted deal straight into advancing.

Build an offer for a performer from a template or your last deal, see what you paid them before and the fee Fai suggests, email it to their agent, record their counter-offers and book the artist on your event once they accept.

Pour:  Sending offers to agents and turning the accepted ones into bookings

## Avant de commencer

- You need an owner, admin or producer role on the brand. Other roles do not see offers or fees.
- Add the rooms and stages you book in Event Operations first, as the hold guide shows, if you want the offer tied to a space.

1. ## Open Offers

   In the sidebar, select your brand, then **Event Operations**, then **Offers**. The list shows each offer's performer, show date, deal and status, with your **Offer templates** under it.
          ![Ticket Fairy Offers list with a counter-offer, a draft and a contracted offer, and two offer templates beneath it](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-venue-operations--offers.png)    Event Operations, Offers.
2. ## Start the offer

   Select **New offer** at the top of the page. To make an offer for a date you already hold, open the hold and select **Make an offer** instead.

   **Remarque:** An offer started from a hold is filled in with the performer, the space and the dates. **Use** on a template starts a new offer from that template.
3. ## Enter the performer and choose a template

   Enter the name in **Performer**, then optional: choose a template in **Start from a template** to fill in the deal and the wording.

   **Remarque:** Once the name is entered, **What you paid them before** appears beside the form with each past show, the fee and how many tickets it sold.
          ![Ticket Fairy New offer form for Loyle Carner beside what you paid them before, a suggested guarantee range and the buttons to use the middle of the range or reuse the last offer](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-venue-operations--new-offer.png)    New offer, with what you paid before.

## The suggested fee

Fai works out the suggested guarantee range from your own past shows with the performer, adjusted for the capacity, or from shows of a similar size when you have none. The badge says how much history it rests on, from **Not enough history** to **Strong guide**, and **Ask Fai to explain** puts the reasons into words.

4. ## Set the guarantee

   Enter the **Guarantee**, or select **Use the middle of the range** or **Reuse your last offer**.

   **Remarque:** Reusing your last offer copies its deal and wording but not its date, space or event. The line under the buttons names anything that differs from last time.
5. ## Choose the show date and event

   Choose the **Show date**, and choose the **Event** if the show already has one.

   **Remarque:** Linking the event lets the offer book the artist on it when they accept. You can link it later by editing the offer.
6. ## Choose how the fee is worked out

   Select **More details**, then choose **How the fee is worked out**.

   - **Flat fee**: One fixed fee, whatever the ticket sales.
   - **Guarantee versus percentage**: The guarantee or a percentage of ticket sales, whichever is more.
   - **Guarantee plus percentage**: The guarantee, plus a percentage of what ticket sales make above it.
   - **Percentage only**: A percentage of ticket sales with no guarantee, sometimes called a door deal.
   - **Something else**: A deal you set out in words. The settlement uses the guarantee, and you add other lines by hand.
   **Remarque:** For a percentage, enter the **Percentage** and choose what it is **Percentage of**. **Deal in words** is what the agent reads, such as £9,000 versus 85% of net.
7. ## Add costs, wording and the agent

   Optional: Open **Costs, ticket price and extras**, **Terms, cancellation and radius wording** and **Agent, deadline and notes**, and fill in what the deal needs.

   **Remarque:** Set **Open until** for a deadline: Fai reminds you before it, and the offer closes if there is no answer by then. **Notes for your team** are never sent to the agent.
8. ## Save the draft

   Select **Save draft**. The offer joins the list as **Draft**.
9. ## Prepare and send the email

   Open the offer and select **Prepare and send**. Fai drafts the email to the agent with the offer set out in full.

   **Remarque:** Fai finds the agent on the offer, on the performer's booking or on your last offer to them, and the line above **To** says which. Change anything you like in **Subject** and **Message**.
          ![Ticket Fairy email Fai drafted to send the offer for Loyle Carner to the agent, with To, Cc, Subject and the offer set out in the message](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-venue-operations--send-offer.png)    Send the offer.
10. ## Send the offer

    Select **Send**, check the addresses in the confirmation, then select **Send** again. The offer shows **Sent**.

    **Remarque:** The email goes from your connected mailbox when you have one, or from Ticket Fairy with your address to reply to. A copy of exactly what you sent is kept with the offer.
    **Avertissement:** You cannot unsend an email. If you change your mind, withdraw the offer and tell the agent.
11. ## Record the agent's answer

    When the agent replies, open the offer, select **Record their answer**, choose what they said, then select **Record answer**.

    - **They accepted**: The terms as they stand are agreed.
    - **They asked for different terms**: The dialog asks for the guarantee, percentage or show date they want, and keeps their terms as a new version.
    - **They declined**: The offer is closed. The date stays held until you release it.
           ![Ticket Fairy dialog asking what Loyle Carner's side said, with They accepted, They asked for different terms and They declined](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-venue-operations--record-answer.png)    Record their answer.
12. ## Answer a counter-offer

    Open the offer to see each version under **Versions**. To take their terms, record their answer again as **They accepted**; to reply with your own, select **Edit**, change the terms and **Prepare and send** again.

    **Remarque:** If you change the terms after their counter, you send them before you can record an acceptance, so the agent always agrees to what they saw.
           ![Ticket Fairy offer panel for Loyle Carner showing a counter-offer, the version sent and the counter, and the offer history](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-venue-operations--offer.png)    An offer after a counter-offer.
13. ## Check the artist is booked on your event

    When you record an acceptance on an offer linked to an event, you see "Booking added" with an **Undo** button, and the artist is on the event's Artists list with the agreed fee.

    **Remarque:** For an accepted offer with no event yet, choose the event with **Edit**, then select **Book on the event**. Advancing then starts from the event's Management page.
14. ## Mark the offer as contracted

    Once the contract is signed, open the offer, select **Mark as contracted**, then confirm.

    **Avertissement:** A contracted offer cannot change after this.

## Ou faites-le faire pour vous

Fai creates an offer from a template, a hold or your last deal, drafts the email to the agent, sends it once you have read it, and records their answer, counter-offer included. She asks you before each change and before anything is sent.

### Dans votre tableau de bord, avec Fai

Make an offer to \<ARTIST NAME\> for Saturday 14 November in the Main Room, start from what we paid them last time, and show me the email to their agent before you send it

### Depuis votre propre assistant, via MCP

Connectez votre assistant à [notre serveur MCP](https://www.ticketfairy.com/mcp-server) et demandez-lui :

La configuration MCP copiée contient `--read-only`. Retirez `--read-only` uniquement lorsque vous voulez que votre assistant effectue des changements. Les changements courants s’exécutent à votre demande ; les actions destructives sollicitent votre accord dans un client compatible. Si votre client ne peut pas vous le demander, effectuez le changement dans le tableau de bord.

Pick the brand, create a draft offer to \<ARTIST NAME\> for 2026-11-14 with a guarantee of \<AMOUNT\>, draft the email to their agent and show it to me. Ask me before you send it

## Depuis votre terminal

Installez la CLI depuis [notre page CLI](https://www.ticketfairy.com/cli), connectez-vous avec `ticketfairy auth login`, puis choisissez la marque sur laquelle vous travaillez avec `ticketfairy brand use <BRAND_ID>`. `ticketfairy brand list` et `ticketfairy event list` affichent les identifiants utilisés par les autres commandes.

Use the CLI to create a draft offer, get the email Fai drafts for it, send it and record the agent's answer. Amounts are in the smallest unit of the currency, so £2,500 is 250000. Offer templates and the fee history are in the dashboard and through Fai. You need an owner, admin or producer login on the brand.

### Create a draft offer. Nothing is sent.

ticketfairy event-os venue offers create --brand \<BRAND\_ID\> --performer "\<ARTIST NAME\>" --show-date 2026-11-14 --space \<SPACE\_ID\> --terms '{"currency":"GBP","guarantee\_cents":900000}'

### Get the email Fai drafts for the offer: recipient, subject and message. Nothing is sent.

ticketfairy event-os venue offers draft-email \<OFFER\_ID\> --brand \<BRAND\_ID\>

### Email the offer to the agent. This sends an email and asks you first unless you add --force.

ticketfairy event-os venue offers send \<OFFER\_ID\> --brand \<BRAND\_ID\> --to \<AGENT\_EMAIL\> --subject "\<SUBJECT\>" --message "\<MESSAGE\>"

### Record that the agent asked for different terms, as a new version.

ticketfairy event-os venue offers record-reply \<OFFER\_ID\> --brand \<BRAND\_ID\> --reply countered --terms '{"guarantee\_cents":1000000}'

### Record that the agent accepted. On an offer linked to an event, this also books the artist on it.

ticketfairy event-os venue offers record-reply \<OFFER\_ID\> --brand \<BRAND\_ID\> --reply accepted

## Save an offer as a template

1. ### Save the offer's deal for next time

   Open the offer, select **Save as a template**, enter the **Template name**, then select **Save**.

   **Remarque:** The template keeps the deal and the wording. Dates and the event are not kept.

Fai saves an offer as a template, and adds, changes or removes templates, after you confirm.

### Dans votre tableau de bord, avec Fai

Save the offer to \<ARTIST NAME\> as a template called \<TEMPLATE NAME\>

## Withdraw an offer

1. ### Withdraw it

   Open the offer, select **Withdraw**, add a reason if you want one, then select **Withdraw** in the dialog.

   **Remarque:** The offer is closed on your side and the agent is not told, so let them know. A withdrawn offer cannot be sent again; start a new one instead.

Fai withdraws an offer after she shows you which one and you say yes.

### Dans votre tableau de bord, avec Fai

Withdraw our offer to \<ARTIST NAME\> for \<DATE\>

## Questions que vous pourriez avoir

What does "Closed, no answer" mean?:  The offer passed its **Open until** date with no answer. You can still send it again: choose a new date, or leave it empty so it stays open.

Can I undo the booking an acceptance made?:  Yes. Select **Undo** on the message. The link is removed, and so is the booking when the offer made it and nobody has changed it since; a booking that was already there stays.

Where does the fee history come from?:  From your brand's own offers and artist bookings for that performer, with the tickets each show sold. An offer that was never agreed is shown for context and marked **not agreed, for context only**.

Who can see offers and fees?:  Owners, admins and producers of the brand. Other roles see the calendar and holds only.

What if the email did not go?:  The offer stays a draft and its history says the email could not be sent, so you can send it again. If we could not confirm it went, check your sent mail before you send it again.
