Welcome to the Full Circle Brewing Company entertainment booking site.

As you may have noticed through the renovations in the brewery, the folks at Full Circle are continuing to improve the most unique microbrewery and entertainment venue in town. We have recently installed a new sound system for our new and improved stage and will be working on the lighting system next.

Along with these improvements we have a new system for booking. Entertainment is an important part of the Full Circle experience and we want to make sure this process is FRIENDLY, CONVENIENT and EFFICIENT for everyone involved. Please review all the information on this site to be best informed about booking your date at Full Circle.

INFO YOU NEED TO KNOW

How do I Book at Full Circle?

We are now booking several months in advance! Please click through to the booking calendar to see available dates.

(We are also accepting booking requests as a BYO (Bring Your Own) venue for the Rogue Festival during the first two weekends of March, 2010. One hour performance slots are available, and booking information and specifics are different for these dates. Please click through to the Rogue BYO Venue page for more details.)

Starting now ALL booking requests will be made ONLINE. We have devised a simple and effective system as detailed below.

• 1. Go to the BOOKING CALENDAR page and look for an available date from our ONLINE CALENDAR.
  2. Then go to the REQUEST page. Choose the appropriate form. Copy & Paste the Booking Request information into an email with ALL the information filled.
  3. Send the email to fullcirclegigs@showshout.net . You should receive a response within a few days. If the date is available it will be put on hold for you, and promotional information will be requested from you. (Go to the PROMO page for more information and resources.)
  4. Once you have sent this information and confirmed the booking, the name of your show is placed on the calendar and is considered booked and confirmed.

If  the date you have requested is not available due to a conflict in booking (BOOKING REQUESTS ARE CONFIRMED ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS) an alternate date for your show will be suggested in your email.

PLEASE NOTE: Full Circle reserves the right to accept, reject or cancel any booking request. Please remain in contact  with us as your date draws near. We will keep you informed of any scheduling adjustments as soon as we know of them.

Ticket Pricing and Booking Fees (New Policy In Place 1/18/10, Please Review Carefully)

All events booked at Full Circle are subject to a booking fee.* Full Circle engages the services of Box Office, Booking & Promotional personnel. These fees are used to compensate these good folk for their services.

Artists and event organizers may choose one of two booking fee options.

The first option:

• a flat booking fee of $100 for the three hour 8-11pm slot, to be paid in advance. This is an ideal option if you expect heavy attendance of your event.

The second option - This option is ideal for newer artists and smaller audiences.

• - a low $25 booking fee, paid in advance to reserve your date
• - a $1 per additional attendee charge when your audience passes 25 attendees. (You may want your proposed ticket price to include an extra $1 to cover this fee.)
• - The number of attendees will be tracked by box office personnel, and any additional total (after the first 25) will be deducted at the close of box office services.
• - Example: You reserve your date by paying the $25 booking fee in advance. The night of your performance our box office personnel will track the number of attendees. If your audience is larger than 25 paid attendees, for each additional ticket sold a $1 charge will be taken at the close of the box office.  If you have an audience of 25 people or less, no additional charge will be taken and all box office receipts will be paid directly to you. If you charge $5 per person at the door, and you have an audience of 30 people, $5 will be deducted from the $150 taken in at the box office, and you will be paid the balance of $145.

*Charitable organizations and special benefit events may inquire about possible booking fee discounts or special arrangements at the time of booking request These will be reviewed on an individual basis.

You may charge any amount you want at the door, but we suggest your ticket price be not less than $3 and no more than $20.

Full Circle will locally distribute some print promotional materials with your performance information. If you want specific photos or copy to be included on posters or fliers, it must be received no less than 2 weeks prior to your performance date. If you have your own posters or print materials that you would like to send, we will gladly distribute these as well. Please check our Promo page for more information and ideas on promoting your own show.

Note:  Artists are welcome to bring merchandise (cds, t-shirts, etc…) to sell. You must provide your own personnel for sales, and all proceeds from sales will remain with the artist.

MORE INFO YOU NEED TO KNOW

If you are an out of town act that has not played Fresno or Full Circle before please be aware that unfamiliar and out-of-town acts may need more publicity to draw an audience. Full Circle is a destination micro-brewery and entertainment venue. We suggest contacting a local act to share the date, or a promoter that can help pair you with other acts to draw an interested audience.

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: Booking requests are for single gigs. Return gigs MUST be spaced out AT LEAST 5 Weeks apart and using a separate email booking request. (Exceptions to the 5 week rule are made for pre-planned, regular monthly gigs that have been reviewed and approved.)
