If you are in the process of planning a play, a dance recital, or any other type of performance, you might be looking for the perfect venue. On top of wondering about the right venue, you might also be unsure of how you are going to pay for it. Luckily, following these tips can help you earn more so you can pay for the venue for your performance.

1. Sell Ads in the Event Program

One good way to make money for venue-related costs is to sell ads in the event program. You might be surprised by the number of local business owners that might be interested in paying for an ad in the program, and you can work with a local printing company to ensure that your event programs—as well as the ads that are placed inside of it—will look great.

2. Sell Concessions at the Event

Another good way that you can make money to pay for your event venue is by selling concessions at your event. There's a good chance that people will get hungry and thirsty while at the event, and selling popcorn, sodas, pizza, and other snacks and drinks can be a wonderful way to quench their hunger and thirst while also making a bit of cash. If you can get people who are involved in the planning of your event to run the concession stand as volunteers, you should be able to bring in a higher profit, since you won't have to hire and pay anyone.

3. Sell Copies of the Video

If you are planning on videotaping the event, you may want to think about selling copies of the video to those who want them. Some people may want to preserve the memories of the night, and you might be able to make a small profit off of each video, which can go toward the fees that you might have to pay for renting the venue.

Choosing the perfect venue for your play or other upcoming event can be tough, and actually paying the venue to use the space can be even tougher. However, as you can see above, there are a few different ways that you can earn the money that you need to pay for the venue that you are going to be renting. Then, you can help ensure that your costs are covered so that you can focus on enjoying the evening.
