What’s Included in Rental Rates
Rental rates include lighting, heating, and/or air conditioning, and water. All labor, supplies, and equipment are considered additional expenses.
Insurance required for events in Propst Arena cannot be obtained by the VBC, and it is therefore the sole responsibility of the Lessee to procure sufficient insurance and isn’t included with the rental rate.
Commercial Rental Rates
Our rental rate is $9,000 or 12% of gross ticket receipts after taxes, whichever is greater. We charge a $9,000 flat rate for events generating revenue beyond the control of the VBC and a $7,000 flat rate for events with no traditional revenue generated.
NonCommercial Rental Rates
Our rental rate is $7,500 or 10% of gross ticket receipts after taxes, whichever is greater. We charge a $6,000 flat rate for events generating revenue beyond the control of the VBC and a $5,000 flat rate for events with no traditional revenue generated. Noncommercial Rental applies to qualified religious, charitable, or educational organizations where no admission is charged, no fee is taken, no collection is made, or no revenue is derived. Local non-profit organizations that charge admission, take fees, collections, or derive revenue may qualify for the noncommercial rental rate.
Conference Rental Rates
Conference rentals are $12,000 per day during the event. This rate includes access to the space, standard utilities, and support from our event coordination team to ensure a smooth setup and operation throughout your conference.
Load-In/Load-Out Rates
For setup and teardown outside of your scheduled event day, load-in and load-out rates are calculated at 60% of the standard daily rental rate. This allows organizers additional time to efficiently prepare the space for their event or return it to standard configuration without paying the full daily rate.
