Registration
Registering at Gigstarter can be done on our website. You can directly go to the registration page to create a Gigstarter account.
Once you've signed up, you'll need to verify your account. We will send you an email to confirm your email address. Clicking the link in that email confirms your account. From that moment on, you can create one or more artist profiles. If your account has been confirmed and you are logged in, click the Create artist button in the menu.
Enter an artist name, enter information about the act, and place media material on your profile. If your profile is complete we will be notified. We will approve your profile as soon as possible.
Signing up at Gigstarter requires the payment of a one-time fee of £4.95. This profile gives a good indication of your act.
However, it is also possible to upgrade your profile by purchasing a PRO or PRO Plus membership at Gigstarter. As a PRO artist, you get more out of Gigstarter because you can respond to local calls, appear on the calendar on the homepage, and add more photos, videos, and reviews to your profile from people who book you outside of Gigstarter.
When your profile is complete, The Gigstarter team will approve your profile. It usually takes five working days before we've reviewed your profile. You will receive an email from us when we approve your profile. You will also get an email if your profile isn't complete yet, so that we can offer a helping hand.
To be found through the Gigstarter search engine, your profile must be indexed. Every night we automatically index all new profiles, so alll approved profiles will show up on the search results 24 hours after approval.
You try to log in with the email address and password you set, but you receive a message that the email/password combination does not exist.
The most common causes are:
- Wrong email address: people often have different email addresses. Is the email address you enter the email address you used to create your account?
- “Caps Lock” is on: passwords are case sensitive, so if Caps Lock is accidentally turned on, the password you entered will be incorrect.
An old password will be filled in after the password has been changed.
If you are still unable to log in with your known email address and password, please request a new password. Go here and enter your email address. You will soon receive an email with a link where you can enter a new password. Please note: if you request a password reset several times in a row, only the link in the last reset email will work!
Do you want to change your email address or password from your login details? You can do this in your account settings. When you want to change your password, you write down your desired password under the label new password and confirm new password. Also, fill in the box with current password. When you want to change your e-mail, you can enter your new e-mail under the label email address. To change your email you also have to fill in your current password. We send a confirmation e-mail to the new email address. In this e-mail is a link which have to be clicked to change the email address.
Gigstarter can easily be used as a booking management tool for managers and agencies. You can centralise all the bookings of your artists. You can manage one profile with a free account, and 5 profiles with a PRO membership. The PRO+ membership allows you to benefit from a Manager account when dealing with more than 3 profiles and allows you to go international – check this link for more information. This way you can manage all the bookings of all your artists with a single account and get an overview of all the feedback on the website.
Hopefully, we will never get to this point, but if you want to delete your account from Gigstarter, follow these simple steps:
- Log in to your artist profile and proceed to the Account Tab.
- Scroll down to the end of the page
- Press the “Delete my user account” button, which will appear in red
- Your account was successfully deleted, however, it takes at least 24 hours for our system to implement the changes
