Hi
I know some of you in this group are staff at venues, and I was wondering if anyone has a show cancellation policy or protocol that they use. Im sure that every major venue has an evacuation plan, but I am interested to find out if anyone has a policy for cancelling a show before the doors open.
We had a power failure in our venue a couple of weeks ago, part of a power outage that included a large portion of the city. This happened at 4:00 PM during sound check. Getting information from the utility company was impossible, so it was tough to tell when we would have power again. In this situation, you can't let an audience into the building.
In the case of utility power outage/dangerous weather/etc. who goes about calling the show off?
Does anyone work in a venue that has some kind of a policy for this?
Thanks
Rob Montgomery
