Working with Concert Ideas has been an incredible experience. Their team is not only professional but also truly understands what college students are looking for. They’ve supported us every step of the way—from helping us brainstorm the right artists to handling contracts and logistics with ease. It never feels like we’re just another client; they really care about our event and our students.

East Tennessee State University has found Concert Ideas to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with and always willing to help provide outstanding programming ideas for our students. The team is always helpful from working through offers and contracts months in advance, to the smallest details the day of the show. The staff is always responsive to emails, texts or phone calls. I highly recommend Concert Ideas to any colleges or universities looking for a great company to help them successfully produce great events.

I have had the privilege of working with Concert Ideas since 2012. Our office’s partnership with them has consistently been a success, particularly in the areas of artist bidding, contract negotiation, and overall concert logistics. Their clear and consistent communication with both our office and student leaders has been invaluable in such a dynamic and fast-paced industry. They take the time to understand the interests of our students while balancing industry trends, artists’ past performances and touring schedules, and what will deliver the best overall experience for our campus.
Concert Ideas prioritizes our institution’s needs both in the lead-up to a performance and in resolving any issues that arise. They always make us feel like we are the top priority, even while juggling other clients. We are incredibly grateful for our ongoing relationship with the Concert Ideas team. We look forward to another successful year filled with amazing concerts and student experiences.
Bowdoin College
I have had the privilege to work with Concert Ideas now for three years and several concerts. It has been a very seamless experience full of quality customer service. We use Concert Ideas for several of our concert needs and I have direct experience booking artists such as Jon Bellion, Smallpools, and Panic at the Disco! with Concert Ideas. Everything from bouncing around ideas to day of show experience working with Concert Ideas has been great.
Concert Ideas will work with you and your student leaders to ensure you have the best concerts and events. We have worked with Concert Ideas to strategize marketing, innovate new ways to approach a concert, and they have done so excellently. They have worked with our students to help them see different perspectives and understand how to work with an artist. Concert ideas is able to work with such a wide array of people and do so in both a professional and fun manner.
Valparaiso University
Adam and his team at Concert Ideas make it possible for us to execute major events. I do not have a background in concert production and neither do most students. Concert Ideas does the heavy lifting for our concerts. They help us build a list of feasible options, provide their industry expertise to make smart decisions, caution us when necessary, and are always cost conscious.
Northern Michigan University
I have worked with Concert Ideas as our exclusive agent for more than 15 years. They have proved to be professional, efficient, and committed to helping us select, book, and present the best possible concerts.
University of North Georgia
Our department works closely with Concert Ideas throughout the school year and leans on them when it comes to recommendations and advice on bidding. We have a great deal of trust in the people of Concert Ideas and know that they have our best interests at heart when consulting us. The large and diverse student body here at Rutgers can make things complicated when it comes to picking acts for shows, whether it’s a large concert or a medium-sized comedy show or lecture. Concert Ideas’ knowledge of current trends and artist availability makes our job infinitely easier.
Rutgers University
My experience of working with Concert Ideas has always been positive and professional. In the 4 years I have worked with Dave and Concert Ideas, I have never had any issues with them and they have always resolved any problems or situations we encountered with artists, venue, production, etc. I would recommend anyone looking for a Concert/Entertainment promoter to use Concert Ideas.

I wanted to reach out and share my appreciation for everything you and your team at Concert Ideas did to assist Emmanuel College with our Spring Concert.
Every school should use Concert Ideas Full Circle to plan their events. I’ve been producing shows on college campuses for more than 20 years, and our recent show using Concert Ideas Full Circle was the easiest, most seamless, and enjoyable show I’ve ever been a part of. The streamlined contracts through Full Circle allowed our campus partners, who are unfamiliar with the student event planning process, to easily understand and process the paperwork for this major campus wide event. The communication from Concert Ideas on this new initiative was throughout, simple and effective.
They did all the heavy lifting and allowed me, my department, and our students to focus on what matters most: the student experience. No messy artist contracts, riders, insurance issues etc. etc.: just students learning, leading, and having a great time.
I highly recommend not only using Concert Ideas for your next show, but using the Concert Ideas Full Circle plan is a must.
