Management agencies determine which street performers can perform at which venues. Agencies may lay down application guidelines tailored to each venue’s unique circumstances and operational needs. The guidelines serve as the basis for processing street performer applications and may include performance types, techniques, scheduling, locations, priority order, and rules for performers. 

Management agencies may also lay down rules on whether to charge fees—such as rental, cleaning fees, or deposits—and may specify how performers are permitted to raise money at performances (e.g. voluntary donations or set prices).

If a venue is not listed on the platform, it is not open for performance, regardless of the performer’s registration status. Unauthorized performances should be reported to the local police station, who will enforce public order.
