Ensure your venue meets every technical and logistical requirement before you sign the contract with this exhaustive checklist.
Selecting a venue is one of the most significant line items in your budget. This checklist ensures you don't get stuck with hidden costs or technical limitations.
| Category | Items to Verify |
|---|---|
| Capacity & Flow | Fire marshal limits, breakout room proximity, registration area space, and ADA compliance. |
| Technical Infrastructure | Dedicated Wi-Fi bandwidth for attendees, power drop locations, and in-house AV compatibility. |
| Logistics & Load-in | Loading dock dimensions, freight elevator availability, and vendor parking permits. |
When discussing venue costs, remember that your ticketing partner choice impacts your bottom line. Tixified offers flat-rate pricing from $49/mo (0% fees). Use these savings to upgrade your venue experience or catering options rather than losing a dollar or more on every ticket sold to a traditional provider.
Always ask: "Is there an exclusive in-house provider for AV or catering?" If so, get their pricing before signing the venue contract, as these costs can scale rapidly.
Flat-fee ticketing with native CRM integration. No per-ticket fees, ever.
