The Event License is an “umbrella” that covers rights represented by both Teosto and Gramex that are needed for using music at different kinds of events. The license is only applied for once, and a granted license is valid until further notice. The price of the license is calculated separately for each event, when the ways music was used (i.e. whether live music, recorded music or both were played at the event) at each event that uses the license are reported in Teosto’s web service.
This price list itemises the prices of Teosto’s and Gramex’s licenses included in the Event License. In the table below, you can see how the prices provided by the Event License price calculator, which you can find on our website, are formed. You will get a 3 % discount of the price if the event details are reported to Teosto within 14 days after the event.
The customer may deduct from the ticket sales proceeds to be informed to Teosto only applicable VAT and the ticket service fee invoiced by the ticket retailer from the purchaser (if applicable). Any other deductions from the ticket sales proceeds are not permitted.
Direct-licensed performances: If a performer at the event performs music for which you need a license from a licensor other than Teosto, inform this to Teosto without delay before the date of the event. (Music under the other license is deducted from the price invoiced by Teosto based on the method described on the license card.)
