$250 Initial Setup Fee in your First Year OnlySetup for you is easy. We install your syllabus into our system* and brand your version of MusicFestivalSuite.com to match your festival by creating email accounts that MusicFestivalSuite.com will use to generate your communications, and making User and Administration subdomains that will be your portal to your festival management. Other companies charge up to $400 for this service without branding or support. Once done, you never have to worry about this cost again.

What if additional support is needed?
Additional in-person and online videoconferencing support is also available at $45/hour. Many first-year festivals take advantage of this opportunity, and budget between $250 and $500 for their first-year’s worth of training just in case they want the extra support. Every festival can request these services at any time by contacting our dedicated Support staff.
* If you need us to convert your syllabus to a spreadsheet format from a document such as a DOC or PDF file, an additional support fee may be required.
