Superstar Entertainment also requests ramp or elevator access between the parking/service entrance and the setup area. If the venue requires setup or takedown in less time, or if equipment must be carried up stairs or lifted onto a stage to reach the setup area, additional labor will be charged at the rate of $50.00. If Purchaser or venue requires Superstar Entertainment to complete setup more than one hour before the start time, or to postpone takedown more than hour after the end time indicated, the additional time will be charged at the rate of $50.00 per half-hour.
Engagements within the immediate Abilene area will not be assessed a travel charge. Services requiring travel outside of this area will be charged at $0.50 per mile.
