BASIC INFORMATION
Event partnership is a program offered by The Phoenix Clubhouse as an alternative to a public venue rental. Local performers, community members, musicians, comedians, artists, and promoters who live or work in Southern Oregon, and are at least 18 years old can apply to participate in the event partnership program. Events that are “all ages” and require a cover charge or paid admission to attend ($5-$10 minimum) will be considered for event partnership.
The Phoenix Clubhouse will be entitled to 50% of the total amount collected from ticket sales or admissions minus any online or cc processing fees. The event partner will be entitled to the remaining 50% collected from ticket sales, minus any online or cc processing fees, and will be 100% responsible for compensating each act/performer according to the agreement made between the event partner and each act/performer at the time of booking.
In order to have an event considered for partnership you must submit a finalized event proposal that meets all the requirements set forth by The Phoenix Clubhouse. Meeting the eligibility requirements of the event partner program does not guarantee that your application will be approved. The decision to approve, deny or cancel an event partner application or agreement is at the sole discretion of The Phoenix Clubhouse.
If your event partner application is approved, you will have additional duties and responsibilities that must be fulfilled before, during and after the scheduled event. Failure to meet all of these expectations will result in additional fees and or immediate event cancellation.
Event partners must pay the required public event fee ($50) after their application is approved and before any promotions or ticket sales begin. In addition to the public event fee, event partners are responsible for any fees, penalties, damages or fines that are incurred during the event partner event.
The Phoenix Clubhouse reserves the right to determine all final event details; including but not limited to ticket cost, show time, schedule, if alcohol will be available onsite, and whether the event will be 21+ only, 18+ only, or all ages.
If your application for event partnership is denied, you may submit a public rental application to be considered. If a public rental is approved you are entitled to 100% of ticket sales/admissions.
