Greetings

I was just about to head over to Bandcamp to setup the ticket sales for my next Celtfather Live Concert on April 15 when I got an email from Bandcamp. They announced live streaming ticket sales.

My head exploded with delight and uncertainty.

BACKGROUND

You see, I love YouTube. But selling tickets to a YouTube show is difficult at best. I have to manage all of the ticket sales. I looked into Paypal and Square. Was there a better more automated way to run ticket sales? Not that I could figure out.

Now Bandcamp is doing the Very thing I wanted.... except for one thing... 

There's no easy way to offer free tickets to members of the Gunn Runners Club, Heroic members or otherwise.

WHAT HELP I NEED

I need people to watch a test show I'm doing. It's tomorrow at NOON Eastern. 

You can Buy Tickets Here.

Tickets are only $1.

I *think* you can even save 25% when you use the coupon code: gunnrunners2021love

I'll be honest. I don't know what you can expect from this. But I'm gonna be online at noon. I would love to see you there and help me figure this thing out.

AND I ALSO NEED YOUR FEEDBACK

Here are some of the questions on my mind:

Does the stream work?

Did you get a notification before the show?

Can you watch on mobile?

How easy is it?

Were you able to use the discount code?

AND THE BIG QUESTION 

I have monthly Celtfather Live concerts. I try to offer them for free to at least Heroic patrons and sometimes ALL. 

If that were no longer offered, would you be okay with that?

What are your thoughts? 

Thank you in advance for your help!

For what it's worth, I'm good with paying to see a show. That's why I tip too. Seems right. I hope this works as an option for you. But my day job says I get to attend evening shows. Nature of the beast.

Have you considered Online Concert Thing? I've watched S.J. Tucker, Tuatha Dea, Wendy Rule, and others there, and it seems to work very well.

I won't be able to help with your test as I;ll be baby sitting.I don't mind paying a few bucks to see a show if I will be able to attend.

Marc Gunn, The Celtfather

Yeah. I definitely looked at that. I’ve been considering it. This just simplifies the process even more and puts everything where my merch is.

I'm ok with whatever you decide to do. You are a hard-working musician firmly in all my genres. I'm excited that BandCamp is trying out live online concerts. I'll get to listen to some of your concert while I get ready for our big family Passover dinner. So don't expect me to say much in chat. I was also shocked to get a whole album with my $1 concert ticket. A live concert every month is important for some people, but less so for me because I'm supporting a lot of musicians. I don't have quite enough time to attend all the concerts. One important aspect to live concerts is getting your fans together. We get to know each other a little bit through the chat. I haven't gotten the hang of Discord yet.

Deedra, the concert will be up for 24 hours if you want to watch it at a more convenient time. That's what is said when I bought my ticket on Bandcamp.
