Vendor Information - How to Avoid Mistakes with Prepaid in full Preplacement (PPPP)

In the past vendors have failed to purchase PPPP when they intended to do so and may realize and inquire too late.  Please review the information below to ensure you have paid a PPPP.

• Be certain that prior to the Thursday before the show runs, you hold no overdues for any shows.  Vendors holding any overdues are not offered PPPP.  Click here for detailed policies about PPPP and Overdues.
• In most circumstances, that next show PPPP is offered and available to purchase in the current show invoice from the Thursday before the show through the Monday after the show.  Receiving the Thursday email reminder is not required, and vendors may go into their invoice and pay for the PPPP at any time that the offer is on that invoice.
• After paying for PPPP, please review your invoice for that specific show to ensure that it is paid.  Vendors may review their invoices at any time in their account.
• When any invoice is paid, the system will send the usual payment confirmation email.  It contains a link to that paid invoice where you may review it and check for the zeroed balance and the itemized PPPP.
• Understand that Bookings cannot and does not review unpurchased PPPP to then contact any vendors on presumptions they may have failed or forgotten to prepay in error.  If unpaid and removed, that unpaid PPPP is always treated as if the vendor chose not to purchase it.
• When receiving the prior vendor notification email that announces the next show opening, there is a reminder to email Bookings immediately if you purchased this PPPP option but did not receive the placement check email alongside that notification email.  They are sent on the same day.
• If you are still uncertain about whether you’ve purchased PPPP for a certain show, please email [email protected]
• In the event a vendor has missed the PPPP deadline, please email Bookings about an intention to return to the next show.  Bookings may Wildcard such vendors at their discretion.  Adding to the Wildcard is not by vendor request, but requires staff review.
