How Gigs Are Listed
Start time and door time
Put the start time your tickets show in the time field and the door time in the description. People search by when it starts.

There is a field for it: 18+, all ages, under-18s with a guardian. Family-friendly gigs can appear on the Melbourne with kids page.

Paste it and people click straight through. Melbourne Insider does not sell tickets or take a fee. You see how many clicked.
Where Your Gig Appears
Gigs sit in Music & Concerts in Melbourne, on tonight on the day, on this weekend from Friday to Sunday, and on the page for the venue's suburb. A residency listed as recurring shows on every date.
Every event page carries Event structured data for Google's event results. Google decides what it shows, and only events at a physical venue are eligible.

Questions Answered
Can a venue list its whole month?
Yes. Submit the first gig, then add the rest from your dashboard, each one its own listing with its own ticket link.
Can I list a gig that is already on other gig guides?
Yes. Listing here as well is how people who read Melbourne Insider find it.
Do you list DJ nights and club events?
Yes, in Music & Concerts. Gambling and adult events are held for editor review.
What if the gig sells out?
Mark it sold out from your dashboard. The page says so and the ticket button changes.
When will it appear?
A complete listing that passes our automatic checks is published when you submit. Anything else is checked by our editor within one business day.
