Tour like the money's already there.
Because it is.

TourCrush guarantees your income before you ever book travel. Declare your tour dates, set your minimum revenue goal, and let regional venues collectively book your sessions. As more venues join, their price drops — and your payout stays locked.

How it Works

Talent

Your payout, locked before you fly.

TourCrush keeps the dates reserved and a card on file. Nobody gets charged until the tour is actually on. We also build the Instagram graphics so you and the host rooms have something to post. You still pick the window, name the first rooms, and help start the chain. You do not book the plane until the floor is real.

Venues

World-class talent. Zero solo risk.

High-caliber talent shouldn't break your budget. TourCrush lets you team up with regional facilities to co-fund visiting artists and teachers. Claim a date to set your guaranteed maximum price—never a penny more—and watch your per-session cost decrease as neighboring venues fill out the tour.

Talent FAQs

I suck at marketing... is this for me?

You don’t need to be an influencer. Upload a couple of photos and we make ready-to-post Instagram graphics, captions, and stories. We’ll nudge you and the host rooms when it’s time to share them. You still send the first texts — or we do that with you. The pictures don’t land the first three rooms by themselves.

Why not book my own tours?

Because endless DM chains, chasing down deposit checks, and praying people show up is exhausting. When the tour locks, your minimum payout is set — then you book the flight. If the floor never hits, nobody is charged. You don’t gamble airfare on a maybe.

When is my income guaranteed?

When the tour locks. You set a minimum. Venues book until that floor is covered. Then the payout is locked — and you can book travel.

What if not enough venues book?

The tour does not lock. Nobody is charged. You can leave the dates up or take them back.

What do I actually have to do?

Publish your dates and your income floor, and give us two photos. Then help land the first rooms — a list, a text, a short video. After that, TourCrush runs holds, billing, escrow, and the lock. If the circuit fills, you travel. If it doesn’t, you don’t.

What does “LFG” mean?

Let’s Freaking Go. It's your battle cry to stop waiting around by the phone, hoping some gatekeeper or event producer finally notices your work and sends an invite.

LFG means you stop asking for permission, create your own demand, and hit the road to meet your people, build real community, and share your craft on your own terms.

Venue FAQs

I suck at marketing... is this for me?

You’re our favorite kind of host. You don’t need an ad budget. We make Instagram posts and stories for your room and send them when it’s time to post. Your people still have to hear it from you. Prices can drop as neighboring rooms join the same tour — you split the route, not your students.

What is collaborative buying?

It’s like Kickstarter for live touring. Instead of one local space paying the full freight to bring an artist, educator, or specialist to town, multiple regional venues team up on a single route. You pool demand together to unlock the tour—and the moment the regional funding goal is cleared, everyone locks in elite talent at the group-tier rate.

Why would I want to cooperate with my competition?

Because flying in top-tier talent alone is crazy expensive. By sharing a tour route with other spaces in your region, you split the travel bill to bring marquee talent to your metro area—while running your own exclusive session in your own room for your own community. You split the logistics, not your audience.

How do I pay?

Securely with a credit card or direct bank transfer through Stripe. Your card only gets charged once the tour stop hits its green-light threshold—zero risk of paying for an event that never happens.

What happens if the Talent does not show?

Nobody gets left holding the bag. Talent doesn’t see a dime until they physically show up and deliver the event. If a performer, teacher, or specialist cancels or ghosts, all attendee and venue funds are refunded immediately.

Are live events still relevant in a digital age?

Anyone can stream a video or listen to a recording; nobody ever built deep community, shared raw creative energy, or mastered a hands-on craft through a screen. Live, in-person experiences create the exact real-world connection that keeps people loyal to your space for years.

Who is TourCrush definitely NOT for?

We’re probably not your jam if:

  • You’re an audience hoarder who views neighboring spaces as mortal enemies rather than peers to grow craft and build community with.
  • You expect elite talent to fly across the country on their own dime, shoulder 100% of the financial risk, and pay you a fat room fee just for unlocking the front door. (Yeah... no.)
  • You genuinely believe a glitchy Zoom call builds the same community and loyalty as real humans sharing energy in a live room.

If you prefer a monopoly mindset, lopsided risk structures, and pixelated eye contact, TourCrush is NOT for you. For everyone else: let's pack the freakin' house.

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
