Your Host Profile: What It Is and Why It Matters
Your host profile is your public page that artists see when they're planning tours. Think of it as your venue's listing - it tells artists about your space, location, capacity, and availability.
What artists will see:
- Your venue name and type (home, garden, event space, etc.)
- Location (city level - exact address stays private)
- How many guests you can accommodate
- Photos of your space
- Your availability preferences
Example: What your completed host profile looks like to artists

How Fees Work: Three Payment Options
When booking an artist, you'll choose from three flexible payment models. Each artist may offer different options based on their needs.
Pass the Hat
How it works: The artist performs, and your guests contribute what they can (like tipping a busker). You pay a 25€ good-will fee upfront to reserve the artist.
Best for:
- Budget-conscious hosts
- Intimate gatherings (10-20 guests)
- Supporting emerging artists
- Testing the concept with friends
Hat + Guarantee
How it works: You pay a guaranteed minimum fee upfront (amount varies by artist), plus guests can still pass the hat. The artist gets the full guarantee regardless of hat collection.
Best for:
- Mid-sized gatherings (20-50 guests)
- Special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries)
- Ensuring artist security while supporting tips
- Professional artists seeking predictable income
Full Fee
How it works: You agree on a set price for the performance. Payment is protected by our booking framework and released to the artist after the concert. No hat collection needed.
Best for:
Payment Security
All payments are processed through our secure booking framework. You'll never need to transfer money directly to an artist. Everything happens transparently on our platform, protecting both parties. Learn more about how our booking security works.
