Straight answers.
What is venue booking software?+–
Software that helps a music venue decide which artists to book and when. brightlights researches any artist, rates them against your room's capacity, market and genres, and tracks ticket sales from every platform you sell on in one ledger.
How do you judge whether an artist fits my room?+–
We read the artist's audience against your capacity, your market and your genres, then give a tier from Excellent down to Caution with the reasons attached — including when the answer is to pass.
Can it rate acts for more than one room?+–
Yes. Add each of your rooms and every artist is rated against each room's capacity, so you can see which space a show belongs in.
Does the date change an artist's rating?+–
Yes. A rating for a specific night accounts for the weekday, the season and the artist's nearby tour dates, so the same act can read differently on a Tuesday than on a Saturday.
Is there a free plan for venues?+–
Yes. Your own ticket data and analytics, plus an artist watchlist, with no card needed.
Book the next show with the lights on.
Start with the shows you've already run.
