Event Cancellation

Even with careful planning and precautions, events get cancelled. Whether it's due to a dangerous thunderstorm or a workers' strike - an unexpected event cancellation can put a huge strain on any budget. In almost any scenario we can insure unforeseen expenses and lost profits when an event is canceled.


Take The Case Of...


A Southern California city that hosts a free New Year's Eve concert in their central square. They offset some of the cost by selling tent booths to local vendors and restaurants for promotion. But, since it is outdoors and on New Year's Eve, they are concerned with the weather, even in Southern California. So several weeks before the event they buy Cancellation coverage including Adverse Weather so that they can refund the vendors and restaurants if the event has to be cancelled.


Luckily they were properly prepared because a few years ago the city's fire department cancelled the event due to heavy rain and poor drainage which made for an electrical hazard with all the generators and power cords that had been laid out.


Not only is the cancellation of Concerts and Sporting Events covered, but also Theatrical Productions, Conferences, Indoor & Outdoor Shows, Exhibitions, Product Launches, Charitable Events, and Video & Film Shoots, to name just a few.


With Event Cancellation Insurance, we insure Promoters, Sponsors, Musicians, Athletes, Agents, Venues, Caterers, Merchandisers, and more can be insured for expenses and profit. Purchasing Event Cancellation Insurance will protect you - and others - from financial losses due to circumstances beyond your control.
