From Local Concert to National Tour: Scaling with Eventland
From Local Legend to National Sensation: How Eventland Fueled a Tour & Kept 95% of the Profits!
The Grand Ambition: Is Your Local Event Ready to Conquer the Indian Map, Or Are Hidden Fees Holding You Back?
Every passionate event organizer in India dreams of scaling their success. You start with a local concert in a buzzing cafe, a vibrant festival in a city park, or a compelling workshop in a community hall. You pour your heart and soul into creating something special. But then, the vision expands: 'What if we took this nationwide? What if our unique experience could touch thousands more across different cities?' This dream of a national tour, however, often crashes against the formidable rocks of reality: the immense logistical challenges, the sheer complexity of managing multiple city-specific details, and, most crushingly, the colossal commission fees from traditional ticketing platforms that threaten to devour any profit before your tour even leaves its first city.
As Lokendra Narware, founder of Eventland, I understand this ambition deeply. I’ve seen incredible talent and vision confined by outdated systems and exorbitant costs. We recently partnered with 'Rhythm Nation,' a dynamic indie music collective, and their journey from a local gig to a sold-out national tour is a powerful testament to what's possible when passion meets the right platform. This isn't just a success story; it's a blueprint for growth. This guide will walk you through how Rhythm Nation scaled their events across India and, critically, how they retained a remarkable 95% of their profits by choosing Eventland. It's a clear demonstration of why we are rapidly becoming the preferred low commission platform for the entire Indian event industry.
1. The Leap of Faith: From Local Roots to National Aspirations
Rhythm Nation started small, hosting intimate, yet powerful, concerts in a bustling city like Pune. Their shows quickly built a loyal local following, known for their authentic music and vibrant atmosphere. The demand was undeniable: messages poured in from fans in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad, yearning for a taste of their unique sound.
Their ambition to launch a multi-city tour was met with the harsh realities of the existing event ecosystem:
- Fragmented Management: Handling ticketing for multiple venues, each with its own local nuances, through different systems was a nightmare.
- Profit Erosion: Their previous ticketing provider, much like BookMyShow, charged a standard 10%+ commission. For a local show, this was manageable. For a national tour with potentially ten times the ticket sales, this meant losing lakhs, making expansion financially risky.
- Hazy Audience Insights: They lacked cohesive data to understand their fanbase geographically, making targeted multi-city marketing a challenge.
They needed a unified, cost-effective solution that could empower their growth, not hinder it.
2. Eventland: The Single Platform for a Multi-City Conquest
Rhythm Nation discovered Eventland, and our commitment to organizers resonated deeply. We offered them not just a platform, but a partnership designed for their growth.
a. Financial Freedom: Unlocking the Power of 5% Commission
This was the ultimate game-changer. For a national tour aiming for significant ticket sales across multiple cities, the difference between 10% and 5% commission was staggering.
- Millions Saved, Reinvested: Imagine selling 15,000 tickets across 5 cities at an average price of ₹1,000. That's ₹1.5 Crore in revenue. Their old platform would have taken ₹15 Lakh. With Eventland, only ₹7.5 Lakh was deducted. That's a direct saving of ₹7.5 Lakh!
- Fueling the Tour: This significant capital injection allowed Rhythm Nation to:
- Upgrade venue production for a more consistent, high-quality experience across all cities.
- Invest in broader, more targeted marketing campaigns for each city, reaching new audiences.
- Secure better support acts or enhance artist amenities, raising the overall tour prestige.
The low commission ticketing model meant more money for the music and the fans, not for intermediaries. This was crucial for the sustainability and ambition of their national tour India.
b. Unified & Effortless Management: Scaling with Simplicity
Managing a national tour with multiple events is complex. Eventland provided Rhythm Nation with the tools to handle it all from one centralized dashboard:
- Single Organizer Account: They could manage all their concerts – from Mumbai events to Delhi gigs – under one intuitive Eventland account.
- Customizable Pages, Localized Appeal: For each city, they created unique, branded Eventland customizable event pages. This allowed them to tailor content, artist highlights, and local partner logos specific to that city's audience, while maintaining a consistent brand identity across the tour.
- Fast Booking & Diverse Payments, Nationwide: Eventland's commitment to fast booking and comprehensive, secure payment gateways (UPI, credit/debit cards, Net Banking) ensured a seamless purchase experience for every fan, whether they were buying from a metro or a Tier-2 city. This consistency built trust and maximized conversions across the country.
- Effortless Check-In: At every tour stop, Eventland's secure QR code ticketing and intuitive organizer app ensured rapid, hassle-free entry, reducing queues and maintaining the high-energy vibe of the concerts.
c. Data-Driven Expansion: Understanding Fans Across India
With full data ownership, Rhythm Nation gained invaluable insights into their burgeoning national fanbase:
- They could analyze ticket sales by city, age group, and even preferred music genres.
- This data informed future tour planning, marketing spend allocation for specific regions, and even which cities to prioritize for future acts.
- It also provided powerful metrics to attract national sponsors, who appreciated the detailed audience insights.
The Outcome: A Roaring Success, National Reach, and Unprecedented Profits
Rhythm Nation's national tour was a phenomenal success. They sold out multiple venues, garnered rave reviews, and solidified their status as a major player in the Indian indie music scene. Most importantly, by partnering with Eventland, they dramatically increased their profitability, allowing them to reinvest in their artists, their production, and their future tours, rather than losing valuable capital to excessive fees.
This story of Rhythm Nation is a clear blueprint for any event organizer India aspiring to grow beyond local boundaries. Eventland is committed to transforming the Indian event industry by putting organizers first, offering transparency, cutting-edge tools, and an unmatched 5% commission.
