Just switched to a touring schedule

[codey]

But all I'm getting is the one show per month still. How do I add in all of my other shows?

By going to your schedule and adding a weekly event.

[pepper2008]

You can have more than one weekly event (2-3 weekly event preferably) and one monthly event.

It should look something like this. Let's assume you are doing two month tours with 2 shows a week starting in January.

Tour X

[Fed Initials] Tour X (Tuesday) - An event set weekly for Tuesdays
[Fed Initials] Tour X (Thursday) - An event set weekly for Thursdays
[Fed Initials] [Big Event Name] - Annual event set any time in January
[Fed Initials] [Big Event Name] - Annual event set any time in February

Personally I like to have my first big event open the tour and my last big event close the tour so my events may be set up like this. Assume I'm using WLW and my tour name is Velocity

WLW Full Speed Ahead - An event set for Monday Week 1 January
WLW Velocity Tour (Tuesday) - A weekly event set for Tuesdays
WLW Velocity Tour (Thursday) - A weekly event set for Thursdays
WLW Sudden Impact - An event set fot Saturday Week 4 February

When you move on to the next tour you just change the weekly events to the new tour name and add the new monthly events. You can even switch the days of the weekly events if you have conflicts in schedule for shared employees.

The amount you run per week really depends on your size. I have a Small Japanese company and no way I can afford to run more than one show per week with them right now. However, I think at Regional it'll become safe to possibly bump it up to two shows per week, and then finally three at Cult.

I'd watch out at cult Comrade you start hemorrhaging money pretty quick in misc fees I would probably stick to 2 shows or even drop back down to one.

Hey, I always make money with my shows at Cult. Its only those misc shows at the end of the month that hit like a ton of bricks. I have to think if you hold alot of your shows in the region where you have the most popularity you'll still make money.

Well, so long as you can snag a PPV deal.

[pepper2008]

Thats why you dont rush to Cult so you can get a PPV on Cult.

Well you should also be earning money from a TV deal before you reach Cult:D

You're learning well, pepper... think this about the second time you've been dead on balls accurate about something that I've seen. I'm proud :D

But yes... if you're making money from your TV shows (you never, ever sign a deal with a TV network without getting some of the ad revenue.) and you don't rush to Cult to insure you can get a PPV deal... then I have to think even a touring company should be okay running several shows without financial woe.

Of course my only experience so far with getting a company to Cult was one with a non-touring schedule... but still. I think if you ran three to four weekly events and your big event in your home region, and then the rest mostly in your D regions (you should have atleast two when you reach Cult) then you'll make out like a bandit.

Someone with more experience than me with touring promotions, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm waiting for FINisher to come in and say "doing what you suggested is what killed WEXXV in my game!"
