Arches, Drops & Races
Today’s balloon drops were at The Engine Rooms, Southampton. Usually I install 1 drop horizontal with the stage. As you can see the venue has a large metal tube running along the centre, perfect for James Bond to hide in. I split the net and opted for 2 drops either side which worked well.
This 200 balloon drop fitted perfectly for the dance floor area at Hidden River Barn. I installed on Friday for a Saturday wedding. I used an extendable pole to position the net & a magnet to hold the pull line. Hi David , thank you so much! It was amazing and such a hit with […]
Always enjoy a trip to Edinburgh. This was a tricky balloon drop to rig at The Liquid Room. I didn’t want to block the view of the sound crew and the ceiling was slightly lower than most venues. So decided to cut a thin net and hang it under the sound desk. All worked well […]
I’m removing inactive (unpaid) balloons from the search results. Below describes a repeat issue: A user sets up a balloon named “example” and doesn’t pay. They return and setup a new balloon named “example” and pay. Next – they search for balloon “example” and the inactive balloon displays first. I’m guessing they have a small […]
Here’s another 250 balloon drop including T shirts, this time at The Drill, Lincoln. Extra thanks goes to the on site tech crew who ferried me around in their fantastic genie lift.
Another road show 300 balloon drop at HMV Empire Coventry. This location did not have moveable trussing but not a problem, I’m always happy to jump on the ladders. As before I added 6 T Shirts to the drop.
Another quiz night at Macquarie Bank London. Nice easy access in the loading bay and direct lift up to the 6th floor.
Here’s the decor for Hamilton press night, I had to decorate the Theatre & the Uni both in close proximity. The lighting guys did a fab job turning a cold hall into a warm party room.
This weeks 300 balloon drop was at Manchester Academy. I also had to include T Shirts – these make the drop heavier so decides no more than 6.
The race now has a minimum price per balloon or duck @£3 each (this is the price you charge). The cost of processing a payment of £3 or less is more than the 12% fee so to protect all payouts a £3 minimum is required. For example, the cost of processing a £1 transaction via […]
Another 300 balloon drop, this time at Epic Studios in Norwich. Great venue with easy rigging points that can be lowered to ground level. I also added some T Shirts & PVC balls into the drop.
