Cuelight Advancing

The offer, the venue's house answers and the tour's standing answers fill each show's advance before anyone types. The venue and the tour manager answer only what's left, Cuelight checks the rider against the room, and the agent and manager can see where it stands.

  • Answered once per room and per artist
  • Rider checked against the room
  • Day sheets build from it

Advancing board

Every show's advance, and who it's waiting on.

Every confirmed show gets an advance on one board. Each row shows its owner, who answers the artist's side, how far each side has got, the next deadline and anything new since you last looked. The cards above count what waits on the artist's side, what waits on you, what changed and what is overdue.

Who works the advance

Every company on the show, one advance.

Venues and talent buyersAnswer each room once, send the advance, check every rider against your house rules, and watch every show from one board.Tour managersOn a show the venue runs in Cuelight, its half arrives filled in. Your standing answers fill yours, and the venue's times land in your day sheet.AgenciesSee where every show's advance stands from the offer, and nudge either side on what's open.Artist managersSee every show's advance status across the roster, and nudge the tour manager when the artist's side is behind.

How an advance moves

One advance, every company on the show.

  1. 01 · Start

    Answered once, used on every show

    The venue answers what's true of the room once, in its Advance Pack. The tour manager answers what's true of the artist once, as standing answers. The offer adds the set times and terms. Each new advance starts with all of it.

    • Advance Pack
    • Standing answers
    • Advancing templates

  2. 02 · Send

    One advance per show, both sides on it

    The venue sends the advance to the tour's company on Cuelight, and each side answers only its own questions. A tour manager can invite a venue that isn't on Cuelight yet, and the venue fills its half with no account.

    • Advance workspace
    • Venue invite

  3. 03 · Check

    The rider, checked against the room

    The conflict check holds the rider against the venue's specs and lists what to sort out, with a suggested fix. The Redliner marks an artist's rider against your house rules before anyone has to read it line by line.

    • Conflict check
    • Rider Redliner

  4. 04 · Chase

    A nudge instead of a chase

    When the other side owes answers, Nudge drafts the email and sends it, from your own Gmail or Outlook once you connect it. The agent and the artist manager can see what's open on every show and nudge too.

    • Nudge
    • Advance card

  5. 05 · Track

    Every show, and what it's waiting on

    The Advancing board lists every upcoming show with who owns it, how far each side has got, and the next deadline. Emails about a show file to its own address, and a morning email says what changed.

    • Advancing board
    • Show email address
    • Morning email

  6. 06 · Show day

    The day sheet builds from it

    The venue's times land in the tour manager's day sheet, its guest allotments cap the guest list, and the whole advance downloads as a PDF packet or a calendar file.

    • Day sheet
    • Guest list caps
    • PDF packet
