I assume you have still not read the guidelines in the links James and I provided in the other post, as you are only eligible for the audience at the moment.
In addition to the ^^^How They Work^^^ which covers the criteria used to access the events, including eligibility, I would also suggest reading the post as well.
https://community.justinguitar.com/t/the-community-open-mic-events-category/2816
which also covers how the JGC OMs started and why.
And look out for the Call For Interest posts, which come out shortly after each “show” :
Performers must have posted an Introduction and also posted a recording in the AOVYP section of the forum. A link to the guidelines is provided at the top of this post, in the How They Work thread.
If you still want an audience “seat” please confirm.
Thank you.
Toby
