Advance with Me FAQ

Advance with Me is live-event advance software for tour managers, production teams, and venues. It turns scattered emails, PDFs, riders, and call sheets into one structured workflow, so every show date has a single source of truth for venue details, schedules, labor calls, and rider requirements.

Advancing a show is the process of confirming every operational detail of an event before show day - venue specs, load-in and schedule times, crew and labor calls, hospitality, and rider requirements. Advance with Me gives that process a dedicated structure instead of relying on email threads and one-off spreadsheets.

It is built for both sides of the advance: tour managers and production teams who run a date or a full run of shows, and the venues, local production, and invited collaborators who need to contribute the specific information requested of them. See the tours view and the venue and collaborator view for more.

You upload venue tech packs and production documents, and AI-assisted autopopulate extracts useful details and maps them into the advance's structured fields. Beyond autopopulate, AI can also import labor calls, daysheets, riders, and even routing from your existing documents.

Yes. Contributors are invited into a single advance and can be limited to only the sections they own, such as labor, rider, or daysheet fields. They do not need to be dropped into your entire tour system, and invited contributors do not count toward your paid pro-user seats.

Yes. You can export clean, professional PDFs for advances, labor calls, and daysheets whenever documents still need to be distributed offline. PDFs are generated from the current working version of the advance.

Master Tour (by Eventric) is a broad tour management platform focused on itineraries, day sheets, scheduling, and a mobile app for the whole touring party. Advance with Me is purpose-built around the advance itself and the collaboration between tours and venues.

Venues and local production can be invited into specific sections of a single advance through a link, with section-level permissions, while AI autopopulate pulls details straight from uploaded venue tech packs. Many teams use Advance with Me specifically to make the venue advance faster and more organized.

Most tour and event management platforms are built around the touring party's logistics or around ticketing and attendee management. Advance with Me focuses on the operational advance - structured production data per show, reusable advance, rider, labor, and schedule templates, invite-based venue collaboration, AI-assisted intake from tech packs, and PDF exports.

It is designed to complement how live-event teams already work rather than replace every tool a tour uses.

No. Platforms like Eventbrite and Cvent are built for selling tickets, registration, and managing attendees. Advance with Me is a production tool for the operational advance - the venue specs, schedules, labor calls, and riders that a touring or production team needs to run the show. It solves a different problem from consumer ticketing or corporate event-registration software.

Yes. Instead of tracking details across inboxes, PDFs, spreadsheets, and text messages, each show lives in one structured record. Reusable templates keep your standards consistent from city to city, and contributors only see the sections they need.

Plans start with Solo for individual professionals and scale up to Duo, Team Starter, and Team Plus for growing teams, with annual billing saving up to 24%. Every paid plan includes unlimited advances, AI autopopulate, and templates. See the pricing page for current details.

Advance with Me uses an authenticated, role-based workflow so access matches each person's job. Internal teams use event roles, while outside contributors get scoped, section-level access to a single advance.
