FAQ's: How to list a gig on the map

This is an Audiograff FAQ post. To see all FAQ posts, click here

Adding your gigs is really easy, and only takes a few seconds. When you submit a listing, it gets shown on the Main Map and on your Tour Map.

Start by entering the name of the venue. If the venue is in our database, you can select it from the drop down list. If the venue isn't in our database, you can enter the street address of the venue in order to plot it on the map. Don't worry, you'll only have to do this once...when a new venue is added to Audiograff, it will be added to the drop down list.

With the correct street address details, the venue will be automatically pinned on the map by Googles geocoding service. Very rarely, a street address will not be in Googles database and it will fail to geocode. If the address fails to geocode, you can simply drag the blue pin to where you think the venue should be. You can zoom in on the map to pin the exact spot. The venue will now be added to our database so the next time you or someone else types it in, it will appear in the drop down.

Fill in the date and time of your event. You must know the correct date to make a listing, but if you don't know the exact time the gig will take place, estimate for now and you can update the listing later on.

If you know the Ticket price, you can fill it in so your fans know how much it'll cost them. If it's a free gig, type in '0', and it'll be displayed as Free. If you don't know the ticket price, simply leave it blank and no price will be displayed.

If you like, you can enter additional information about the gig. Example "Supporting XYZ", "First gig of the UK tour", "Playing some tracks off the new EP" etc etc...whatever you think your fans should know!

When you're done, click "Save Changes" and your gig will be added to the map. You can come back any time and edit a listing by highlighting it in the "Your Events" box, or clicking its pin on the map.

By the way, if you want to add in some of your past events, you can do so by filling in the date they took place. Your past gigs will show up on your Tour Map when someone clicks "show past events"!
