When COVID19 hit, all of our band's jobs cancelled. And large assemblies of people were banned by the local/state government. We asked TheBash-Gigmasters to “share the burden” and suspend our account for a couple of months, and let us reinstate with the same account credit later. They refused, saying “you can suspend your account, but will continue to debit your annual membership”. In other words, THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE PROFIT FROM VENDORS DURING THE COVID19 crisis. (By the way, their competitor GigSalad offers this “suspension” feature free, with no hassle to the vendor.)
AVOID "THE BASH" GIGMASTERS!! They are driven only by profits, not quality service. Vendors are at the bottom of the food-chain. They even sent all Vendors a notice, “encouraging” us to refund non-refundable deposits for the cancelled events (which we had already done), “so customers can use it for a future booking”. i.e. TheBash panders to its customers, but Vendors are ignored, and have to pay ALL the burden for the COVID19 crisis! Their greedy PROFITEERING shines through!
We had used GigMasters services for our wedding DJ company in Minneapolis Mn and noticed that they are producing fake leads and late leads. We found this out because when we called most of the numbers, they were to empty Google Voice numbers. The ones who did answer, said that they had booked a DJ weeks ago.
Then when a bride wanted to use our services and specifically requested us because their wedding DJ backed out on the Saturday of their wedding, (which was probably a gigmasters.com DJ) we couldn't log into reply to her as GigMasters wanted $99 to contact her... Minimum and sign up. She specifically requested us!
What a JOKE! GigMasters.com ONLY gives the requests to their high paying DJ companies and wedding photography companies and those companies that have advertised with them for many years. They get the leads FIRST! Obviously, as MANY customers have stated. We know this because we've talked to these DJ companies. Gigmasters.com did call us once to see why we wouldn't give them more money. I told them this issue and they said that they are working on this problem. Hasn't been a resolution in over 6 months because they are too busy collecting money from new unsuspecting companies.
So if you're a new vendor with Gigmasters, DON'T SIGN UP!!! You will get ALL late emails, or events that NO other companies want to take because they are basically free or really low budget and pissed off brides & grooms who have already booked another DJ company because your calling them two weeks late! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON GIGMASTERS.COM!!!
