READY TO GET STARTED?

We don’t pad
itemized expenses

Every traditional promoter does it. Even the most above-board promoters. They almost have to. The “traditional tour model” pits Promoter directly against the Booking Agent and Tour Manager. Every $1 is fought over. At Afton, we build win-win offers where backend is hit every time – due to lower itemized expenses.

We negotiate
better rates

When itemized expenses are honest and true, every dollar on the expense line matters! Afton fights harder to negotiate better room rentals. Typically, Promoters are not too concerned if a club is being overpaid by $1,000 (especially if the venue is owned by that Promoter!). Afton is on your side, we negotiate every venue expense like it’s our own money.

With AFTON, we’re
all on the same side

Typically, the Tour Manager and Booking Agent are pitted against the Promoter. Every $1 is fought over, each entity is only looking out for themselves. With our tour model, we’re all on the same side. Being honest and up front with each other makes the headliner more backend. Our industry doesn’t need to be cutthroat.

We Save
You Time

Time is money. When you work with Afton for 5, 10, or 30 tour dates we save your Booking Agency dozens or hundreds of man-hours. You deal directly with us in a streamlined manner. We are the most effective and efficient Promoter. You no longer have to spend the time and money on a Promoter who books in just 1 city. Technology and social media has, in many ways, made the 1-city Promoter obsolete.

Better
Marketing

Afton’s marketing team and custom-built software brings in better ROI with ads that turn into actual ticket sales. We’ve put on over 10,500 concerts since 2004 nationwide. We know what works, and we know what doesn’t.

AFTON’S openers can
actually draw

For medium and larger tours we don’t typically book openers. But for smaller tours we have a network of over 75,000 local and regional acts that we can pull from to find openers who will actually draw and bring in 30-50 people each. We also market our tours to the 200,000 band members on our platform and our database of over 500,000 previous ticket purchasers.
