No. They open their own link, fill in their part of the advance, upload riders and can sign their contract on the same page. #### Can an act ask for more guest list places or rooms? Yes. On their link they see what is left and cannot go over it, and they can ask for more. The request goes to the approver your approval rules name, or else to your team. #### Does Fai change answers my team or the act already entered? No. Fai suggests answers with the words each came from, and a person accepts or rejects each one. An answer that would replace an existing entry is only saved when a person chooses Replace. #### Can I reveal the line-up in stages? Yes. Give each act an announce time, and they appear on your line-up at that time. You review each change before it is published. #### Do fans get reminders for the sets they save? Fans add their saved sets to their own calendar, and their calendar reminds them. #### Can I add a speaker without entering their details again? Yes. When you add a talk, paste a LinkedIn link, a public bio page or the speaker's bio. Ticket Fairy fills in their name, title, company, photo and links for you to check and change. If the details do not come through from a link, paste the bio instead.
