Phone numbers no one answers, Bad email addresses, Paid for a year and quit! Something like 6 leads that led to no-where!
They used to have a commission- only fee, (like Gigsalad has today) but TheBash.com had a $20 minimum that was not disclosed to me. In circa 10 years, i had only two bites with this platform... One was a cancelled gig, but bash/gigmasters tried to ram a charge, anyway. The other gig was under $90 iirc, and i was shocked by the high commission. I do not trust this company's guarantee. I see that positive reviews Re for merchandise with SKU numbers. Imo, those are fake since TheBash does not sell stuff. On Trustpilot, TheBash has 3x more reviews than GigSalad (?!) I do not believe Trustpilot positive reviews cuz Truztpilot gets a fee. Performers like us know how many bookings each other is really getting from platforms since we are members of artists and performers associations. Imo, TheBash gets less than half of Gigsalad in our area. Much less. (Some performers artificially boost their booking stats. Quite evident when the # of reviews exceed the # of confirmed bookings.) The Bash sent this recent email with a "time-limited" (not!) Discount supposedly. It is clickbait. The $59 membrrship is open to anyone. But to do that, i would have to provide my credit card. Too much pain to be blocking this company and getting a new credit card issued to me should TheBash try more trickery. Btw, notice that The Bash gets a 4.9 stars on Trustpilot and waaay lower on BBB and SiteJabber?
Hello Rob,
Thank you for being a valued member of The Bash and sharing your experience. We would like to sincerely apologize for any confusion and frustration regarding your experience as a vendor. On The Bash, we strive to be as transparent as possible and are committed to our vendors' success. We aim to keep our annual membership fees low to help vendors receive a return on their investment in just 1-2 bookings. We do run promotions for new members throughout the year and are always happy to work with our renewing vendors to see if there is a better price available for them. All bookings on The Bash are accompanied by a 5% booking fee ($20 minimum) and no changes to booking fees have been made since 2016. Booking fees are highlighted on each and every lead a vendor receives and it is important to note that bookings fees are refunded in the case of event cancellations. We pride ourselves on our verified reviews and only planners who officially book vendors through The Bash can post an authentic review. Vendors are not able to remove or hide reviews to ensure future planners receive an accurate representation of services others have received. Rob, thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and we hope to have the chance to turn this around for you. Please contact us anytime at (866) 342-9794 or by email at info@thebash.com.
