Know if the show is technically ready before load-in.
Turn rider requirements into a shared technical advance. The venue confirms equipment, flags missing items or proposes alternatives without creating an account; your cockpit shows what is resolved, what blocks the show and who acts next.
A sent rider is not the same as a confirmed show
RiderForge keeps the rider, venue response and production decisions in one traceable flow, so the tour team can distinguish a delivered document from technically confirmed requirements.
From technical rider to show readiness
Start from the rider
Create an advance from saved technical requirements instead of rebuilding a separate checklist.
Collect the venue response
The venue opens a private link without an account and confirms, marks missing or proposes an alternative for each requirement.
Resolve the next action
The cockpit calculates readiness, highlights critical blockers and pending alternatives, and assigns the next action to the venue or tour team.
What Show Readiness includes today

- Confirmed and pending technical requirements
- Critical blockers caused by required missing items or high-impact issues
- Venue alternatives with an explicit tour decision

Technical advance FAQ
What is a technical advance?
A technical advance is the pre-show process of confirming an artist’s production requirements with the venue, documenting missing equipment, alternatives and unresolved decisions before load-in.
Does the venue need a RiderForge account?
No. The venue can identify itself and answer the private advance checklist through the shared link without creating an account.
Does Show Readiness replace the technical rider?
No. It uses the saved rider requirements as the starting point and adds venue confirmation, blockers, alternatives, responsibility and an audit trail.
How is show readiness calculated?
The cockpit derives readiness from confirmed, pending, missing and alternative requirements plus unresolved issues. Required missing items and high-impact open issues remain blockers.
