Gigstarters is designed to help organisers validate demand before committing to an event.

Instead of paying upfront for an event that may not happen, supporters reserve tickets first and are only charged if enough people support the event for it to proceed.

This approach helps:

• Reduce risk for organisers.
• Give supporters greater confidence that events have sufficient demand.
• Enable more events to be launched and tested.
• Create opportunities for communities to actively support the events they want to see happen.

By supporting campaigns, supporters play a direct role in helping events reach confirmation and move from an idea into a real event.
