Cuelight for Talent Buyers
Offers, holds, contracts, checklists, deposits, advancing and settlement for talent buyers and venues, built from the offer you send. The agent and the tour manager open the same deal.
Industry-native offer templates pre-fill the agent from the artist you pick and the terms from your venue's defaults. Generate PDF or Word exports that match what agents expect to see.
How a show moves
01 · Find
Choose an artist on any offer and their agency and agents fill in from a directory of 1,100+ agents and managers mapped to their rosters. Send the offer without leaving the page.
02 · Offer
Templates for festivals, hard tickets, clubs, private and corporate shows, exported to PDF or Word. Bring your back catalogue in from PDFs, Word docs, and emails, and AI fills in the fields.
03 · Hold
Confirmed, 1st, 2nd and 3rd holds, and challenges. Not a generic calendar bent into shape. It syncs with Google and Outlook, and shares as an iCal feed or an avails link.
04 · Money
Break-even for hard and soft ticket shows and a deal modeler before the offer goes out; payments, settlements, and a full P&L after, so you know whether to rebook.
05 · Confirm
Every offer carries 17 production tasks, and confirming it dates them. The due dates chain (the contract triggers the deposit, the assets trigger the collateral), so each next step is dated the moment the last one lands.
06 · Advance
Buyer and tour manager work the same advance, the agent follows its status, and the artist team fills their half from a shared link, no account required.
