What is the BaltimoreFunGuide.com?
The BaltimoreFunGuide is the best place for complete, up-to-date information about arts, cultural and entertainment events in the Baltimore region. These events are submitted by our paid members; non-members may submit events to the BaltimoreFunGuide, however they are not guaranteed to be posted.
What types of events are posted on the BaltimoreFunGuide?
Before submitting an event, we reccomend browsing the FunGuide to see the type of events the FunGuide promotes. The blue column on the left of the home page categorizes all of the events. If your event doesn't fit within any of these descriptors, it's probably not a fit. The FunGuide does not post conferences, classes, workshops, or camps.
How can I get my events on the BaltimoreFunGuide?
Paying members of GBCA are issued a user name and password for direct access to the FunGuide which allows them to enter, edit, and manage their events at their convenience. If your organization is a current member and you would like to make changes to your FunGuide user account, or need a new user added, please contact scordi@baltimoreculture.org
What if I am not a member of GBCA?
Non-members of GBCA may go to www.baltimorefunguide.com and click on "Submit Your Event" at the bottom of the page and fill out the form. You will first need to create a user name and password, and then you may submit your events. Unlike member events, which go directly into the FunGuide to be posted, non-member submissions arrive as e-mails in a large queue. Due to the volume of submissions and the priority given to member events, they are not guaranteed to be posted.
If you would like to become a member of GBCA, visit our Membership page for more information or download and fill-out a Membership Form.
Members: To ensure your events will appear on the FunGuide, go to My Account and log in with the User name and Password issued to your organization by GBCA.

What is the Fun Saver?
Modeled on programs like frequent flyer "e-savers," FunSavers are weekly e-mail offers for half-price tickets to GBCA member events. Please limit your free events to the BaltimoreFunGuide. The FunSavers are intended to provide customers a half-price discount.
The FunSaver provides the opportunity for Members to sell excess inventory during slow periods and offer attendees cost-cutting entertainment.
Members:
To create a FunSaver, you must first enter your event into the FunGuide using your account user name and password. If your event is already in the FunGuide, log into the FunGuide:
Click "Control Panel"
Click "FunSaver Offers" on the left hand panel
Click "Create New Offer"
Populate the form with your information.
The submission form must contain clear instructions to the consumer on how to redeem your offer. Please include the necessary details like telephone number, email or site address depending on how you want offers to be re-deemed. We encourage you to specify an offer "code" or title for the customer to use when purchasing tickets to make redemption of your offer easier for the customer and your staff, and that will help you track the results of your offer. You may enter those results at any time using the link below.
Please include your contact email in the box that says Email. This is not public, but for internal use so that we may contact you with questions about your offer and to send the appropropriate person the reminder to submit FunSaver results.
Customize your FunSaver Offer
You may want to specify that this standard half-price offer cannot be combined with other discounts, or you might want to limit the number of tickets or admissions sold to each customer. You can also specify specific days or times for your offers; the discount does not have to be valid for the entire week.
