The event requesting the refund will be notified by email of the status of their request.

🤔 E-Blast Frequently Asked Questions
How are artists added to the list? Can I see the list?
Artists must opt-in to receiving Single Show Announcements in their ZAPP® profiles. To comply with our privacy policy, we do not share this list directly with the purchasing organization.
How do I choose which artists receive my announcement?
You can filter by state or geographic region, and further filter by medium category.
When are the e-blasts sent?
Emails are sent on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday in the morning or afternoon. To keep your e-blast exclusive and to avoid inundating artists with emails, only one e-blast is sent to the specified area per day.
Can I add a graphic to my e-blast?
Your show’s logo is automatically included. If you would like to add one additional graphic, the cost is $25. We recommend that the additional graphic be no larger than 300 pixels on the longest side.
Can I purchase more than one e-blast?
Yes. However, the Single Show announcement is limited to two purchases per show, per contract period.
