If you think you’ve found an event that’s a good fit for our audience, we’d love to hear about it! In addition to the funcheap crew digging up all sorts of fun and cheap events, we do rely on event organizers, PR contacts, and the funcheap members to tell us what’s going on.

How to submit an event for consideration on the funcheapSF list:

Useful Tips for Getting Your Event Listed
There is no guaranteed way to get your event listed on funcheapSF. But there are a few things you can do to make our life easier and increase your chances

---

Email us at least one week prior to the event… but more lead time is better:
We need time to review, factcheck and to post all of the information. Since we all have full-time jobs in addition to running funcheap, it’s actually best to give us at least two week’s notice prior to the event. It could take a week or more for us to actually get to your posting, so be patient. Last minute email submissions might still make it onto our list, but the chances are pretty slim.

---

Include ALL relevant information:
Date, time, price, address, weblinks etc. If we have to go hunting and pecking for that info ourselves, it’s really a bit of a drag.

---

Only post events that are cheap or free:
There is no set-in-stone definition of what we consider “cheap.” Sometimes it depends of the type of event. A $8 movie would not be considered cheap, but $8 for opera tickets probably would be. Your best chance to make it onto the list is to send us free or nearly free events. Of course, if you think your event is a fantastic deal even though it costs $20, still feel free to let us know. We might consider it “worth the splurge” and list it anyway.

---

URLs/website addresses are preferred to attachments.
Although attachments aren’t a complete no-no, they are time consuming to open. We also require an official “event info” URL to direct our readers to that has all of the event details.

---

Tell us about any giveaways you can offer.
Although each event listed on funcheapSF is selected purely on editorial merit — we don’t accept payment from event organizers — it’s always useful for us to know if you are able to offer free tickets or other deals or discounts for your event. If we choose to add your event the the funcheapSF list, someone will contact you to organize a giveaway.

---

We don’t list everything that’s submitted:
FuncheapSF is not a comprehensive listings publication. We hand-pick the best fun and affordable events going on in the city. We don’t list every single event (even the free ones) and will rarely add repeated listings for regularly daily or weekly occuring events as they tend to drown out unique events

What kind of events are listed on our site?:
We list most free or cheap things to do like:

• Free concerts in the park
• Street fairs and festivals
• Beer/Wine tastings
• Fashion shows
• Museums / Art receptions
• Lectures / Book readings
• Plays
• Comedy
• Classes / workshops

What kind of events are NOT listed on our site?:
In most cases we will not list the following types of events:

• Real estate seminars
• Social gatherings
• Dating events
• Religious events
• Self-help or self-improvement events
• Open Mic nights
• Happy hours (unless there is more than just happy hour and music)
• Reading groups
• Book signings (unless there is also an author reading)
• Events emailed to us that are listed in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
• Recurring events that do not meaningfully change from week to week
• Ongoing art exhibits (unless it is an event with the artist in person or a reception)

This is a moderated list, meaning we pick and choose the best of the submisions for inclusion on our list. In some cases we may not choose to list a really good event if there are too many similar events around the same time. These aren’t hard-fast rules, but rather general guidelines. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact us.

We’d like to thank the great flavorpill for their inspiration in crafting this submission page
