Please note that Festival policy *requires* payment for Sponsorship fees and tickets in full before receiving any credentials onsite or any event tickets. Please feel free to contact Leonora or the Sponsorship team with any questions.
For any activation costs incurred by NYCWFF onsite, your Sponsor Manager will work with you and Leonora on billing for those items post-Festival. Your Sponsor Manager can assist you with pricing information.
BILLBACKS
What is a Billback?
A Billback is how the Festival refers to all costs billed to the Sponsor outside of your Sponsorship fee and ticket purchases. The Festival typically pays up front for certain activation costs, such as union labor for Sponsor activation builds, power drops, heavy equipment rental, and so on. Any activation costs above and beyond your Sponsorship package included in the fee are “billed back” to you separately – meaning that you reimburse the Festival. Often these costs are incurred during the Festival itself.
Your Sponsor Manager will work directly with you to determine your activation needs and will share any additional costs that you might be responsible for. Your Sponsor Manager will provide you with a Billback Invoice so that you can pay God’s Love We Deliver after the Festival is over.
