Quotes and bookings

Quotes, acceptance and booking confirmation

Quote expiry, the booking-fee deadline and contact unlocking.

Important booking guidance
How long is a quote valid?

Quotes default to 7 days. A performer can choose another future expiry. An expired quote cannot be accepted unless renewed as a new immutable version.

How long do I have to pay after accepting?

The GigWest booking fee is due within 48 hours of acceptance. The booking page uses the server-recorded deadline.

What happens if the booking fee is not paid within 48 hours?

The pending acceptance expires, the event is not a confirmed GigWest booking, contact details remain protected and the performer is no longer required by GigWest to treat the date as confirmed. GigWest does not automatically charge the hirer.

Can a performer revise a quote?

Yes. Revisions create new immutable versions and never overwrite an accepted or earlier version.

When do contact details become available?

Only after the booking-fee payment succeeds and GigWest confirms the booking.
