I've had a very very VERY busy few weeks with the lead up to Future Music Festival and Good Life Festival coming up at a lightening speed pace.
I have attended numerous events promoting future music and giving out tickets at these club promotions, I have begun the staffing and accreditation sheets for Future music trying to source all our staff both volunteer and paid and keeping up constant correspondence to make sure I have all their correct details and they know their role. This has been and is a long process, particularly making sure that all the Mellen staff will have the correct accreditation and have the right passes to enter the stages.
We also recently had a Valentines day Promo where people would win VIP tickets to the festival as a gift from Future Music, this was fun to choose people from Perth as I got to choose a few people I knew who were extremely excited once they got their tickets.
With all the O-days coming up, we have to have a stall to promote Future at those as well, so we have stalls at ECU, Curtin and UWA coming up. These will be our best promo opportunities to get our primary target market being university students to come to Future. We will also be selling the cheapest tickets at these stalls to entice the market.
Our Future DJ competition is also coming up where we've had to invite Perth DJs to enter and they get to perform at Parker nightclub for a spot to play at a future stage.
I've been told that on the day of Future that I will be the local Artist Liaison on the day. I'll have to send each artist to there designated stages and look after there riders ensuring they return back to me with there passes. So I have created my own local acts accreditation sheet to ensure everyone will get the right accreditation. Next week I'll also be making a run sheet so I know where I have to send which specific artist and at what time depending on the set list so everything runs to schedule.
Next week I'll be in the office all week organising final staffing and accreditation. Sending emails to all my staff making sure they know when and where to arrive and they meet up with the right person. I'll also be meeting the local artist when they come into the office to collect their accreditation so they know what I look like on the day of the Festival.
It's going to be a week of no sleep and I can't wait!!
