Buddy benefits
To say ‘thank you’ to everyone who participates with the project, we’ve created a benefit page - promoting generous offers exclusively available to the Gig Buddies’ community.
“Buddy benefits” are special deals donated to the Gig Buddies project. They’re for all active participants and volunteers.
Thanks to the ongoing generosity of our supporters, we have a number of offers currently up for grabs. Click here to check out our new page.
This is our way of giving back to our community. Be sure to keep an eye on our buddy benefits page for more exclusive offers.
And if you’re a business owner, event organiser or festival facilitator and would like to promote your services or any special offers, feel free to use the same form to get in contact.
Add some triumph to your tax return
