I hosted and promoted concerts for a couple of years back in the day. It was a blast. I had a lot of fun doing it and made some money on the side. Basically, I would gather interest with local bands and say that part of the money was going to charity, and part of it would got the band that brought the most people. Like a battle of the bands. This got most bands interested. I would talk with the local venues and get pricing, but I would then reach out for sponsors to pay for the event costs itself. Of couse then the sponsors would be advertised in the venue and announced before each band started. So I ended up never having to pay any of my own money for the show, charged $10 at the door, and the venue took care of sound and such. My first event was with like 50 people, but then I promoted it a lot at school at the time and become kinda known for it. Next was like 200, then 400. Then it kinda stood around there the next couple of times.

Anyways, I recommend it and anyone can definitely do it. I started doing that when I was 16.

I have done a few events through volunteer positions. Keep in mind that this kind of work is all about developing relationships with vendors in your area, but it doesn`t hurt to know the reputations of other companies

I would suggest you start working in an events company to get the best hands-on experience for FREE while learning the ropes. It's way too expensive to gamble on starting a business you know nothing about.
