5 Things to Avoid When Getting a Ticket to a Concert By a Bander Caller

The sight of a group of famous musicians busking for customers at the corner of a street corner is enough to put a smile on most people's face. If you have been lucky enough to be in the company of one of these entertainers, you may be aware that their skills can often rival those of a professional stage magician. They can turn any given corner of the city into an amazing performance, and they rarely disappoint their audience. To give these buskers their due, here are some tips and tricks on how to get a famous musicians busker to come to your event:

- Keep the music interesting. Buskers love music, so make sure that the music is up to par. You can hire a piano player to play popular music while the performers entertain you with their own style of music. Many buskers have their very own CDs, which they regularly play in between the songs.

- Don't hold back. Many businesses forget to cover band expenses during the promotion period. If you know any good bargains, ask them about them. Some venues will even pay for part of the promotion cost. This means that you only need to pay for the music and you're free to do what you like.

- Make sure you book the right venue. If you're inviting a well-known busker to your event, it is important that you get the right venue. A small, unfamiliar venue may not be as effective as you'd imagine. Some famous musicians won't perform at all if the venue isn't suitable for their particular style of performance.

- Be flexible. It is perfectly fine to decline an agreed upon tour date if the busker becomes uncooperative or refuses to perform. Usually, though, most buskers are happy to agree to come to your event if it's free or at a reduced price. If you need to cancel or postpone the show, don't hesitate to do so.

- Book early. Busking in cities such as New York or San Francisco is popular all year long. So does your book a couple of months ahead of time. This ensures you'll have the best opportunity to find a good gig.

- Don't be afraid to bargain. When negotiating for a price, it's important to remember what your budget is. You should never agree to a low price just because you've been offered a good deal elsewhere. Remember that you are the one paying for the entertainment and the event hall. You have control over the quality of the service and the quality of the tickets. Therefore, you have the right to say no to any deals that fall short of your expectations.

- Don't be shy. Busking for famous musicians can be a very rewarding experience, but there are also many potential hazards. It's important to exercise caution when approaching people who could potentially be professional actors or promoters. If you aren't certain they're reputable, walk away and look for a different vendor. Do the same with any other events that you plan to attend.
