How to increase ticket sales:

Green Kill sends out 1600 subscriber emails for each event, but there’s no guarantee that everyone will attend.

It’s in your best interest to promote your event as much as possible.

We’ve noticed that performers who make an effort to promote their events tend to receive higher compensation.ion.

How gross proceeds for an event are allocated:

The cost of producing these fancy and public events can vary a lot from one to another, mostly because of how much outreach we do.

Gross Sales over $100

If we make more than $100, we split the gross proceeds minus ticket vendor fees equally between each performer, the house, and the sound engineer. For instance, if we have 5 performers with a gross of $100, we’ll split it 5 ways, so each performer gets $20.

*Gross Sales under $100

If we make less than $100, we split the gross proceeds 3 ways. One performer gets one-third, the house gets two-thirds, and the sound engineer gets the remaining third.

Gross Sales under $40

If we make less than $40, we don’t pay out any money.

The money is sent to you by Venmo or PayPal as soon as it clears the Green Kill account. You can also send a check. Performers can ask for the money to be sent to one performer for all on stage or to each performer separately.
