* If the venue can be used for the show you can save a lot of money, but remember that a show needs staging, lights, sound, seating and so forth which you may have to bring in.

* If the venue have in-house catering and/or a bar, you should be getting a much better price. Then you will need to consider whether their catering is on a big enough scale, and if not, how you will handle multiple caterers / bar suppliers. In BJC 2008, the Dome did all the catering - they put on extra large-scale veggie meals, and had two separate bars and a café serving food. If you need to bring in a caterer, they will require power, water and drainage.
