It is possible to rent the Great American Music Hall for concerts that are open to the public, and our staff is well-trained to accommodate these types of shows. We encourage you to use our full array of services when considering this type of production, as a variety of special considerations need to be coordinated in order to make such an event successful. Here is some additional information to help you in making your decision.

1. GAMH's box office can assist in selling tickets to your event for a $250 fee as well as a .50 cent per ticket print charge. Ticket sales can be made in person during box office hours or by fax at (415) 885-0750 (a $1.50 service fee will be applied to fax orders). In addition, Ticketweb is contracted with GAMH to sell your tickets on line or by phone at 866-468-3399.
2. GAMH's rental fee does not include mention of your event in our print ads. If you would like to be included in our San Francisco Chronicle, Bay Guardian or SF Weekly advertisements, our events coordinator would be happy to facilitate it, give you prices, deadlines, etc.
3. GAMH does have a bar minimum, in addition to its rental fee, and we do request that the bar minimum be paid in advance. If a client selects a no-host/cash bar, the bar guarantee will be refunded within 10 days of the event provided the bar minimum was met. If the bar minimum is not met, the renter will receive a refund of the total bar register sales. The difference between the bar guarantee and the bar register sales will be retained by GAMH.
4. Security: All security must be provided by GAMH. The rental fee includes minimal security. If the event is expected to draw more than 300 people, additional security will be required, and this will be an additional expense to the renter. The amount of security necessary must be determined by GAMH.
