Talent buying agency for casinos

Of course! You shouldn’t feel like the cost of your entire entertainment program is an expense or loss. A small fraction of what it takes to operate your venue will be an expense, the rest should be profit or reinvestment.

Every property has its own pulse, or vibe if you will. Sometimes you have to spend hours on the floor, interacting with guests and employees to figure out what appeals to the core demographic. It is not uncommon to have spent days, weeks or even months canvassing a property to execute a proper program analysis. We are the only Native American Owned Entertainment Company that understands the importance of providing such in-depth research.

Not necessarily. In most cases, the venue (or wherever the offer money comes from) has the most pull. The middlemen, or the agents and talent buyers who bring the deal together are just filler. The venue (the decision-makers) and the agent (the product/act) are the two largest components of any entertainment deal. And it is important to remember that not every act will work well in every room. 

Frequently, more time is wasted going back and forth waiting for the talent buyer and booking agent than it’s worth. You may save $10,000 but you’ll often lose $15,000 in tickets ales due to lost on sale time. When it works there is some benefit.

Tribal casinos that work together will pay less if you are routing the dates properly. A string of 5 or 10 dates across multiple tribal properties is extremely beneficial for a national touring headliner’s agent. Seattle Entertainment Group works with multiple properties and other talent buyers to get the price lower by adding on more dates. 

Part of the reason you see recycled acts so frequently is due to the limited acts available that appeal to the older more valuable gaming crowed. As groups like the Beach Boys and Smokey Robinson start to age out, your property or talent buyer is going to have to get more creative. If your properties core demo if 60 years and older, you will have an even more challenging time filling seats in the next five years.
