Total Production International
Founded in 1998, Total Production International (TPi) magazine is widely regarded as the industry’s most authoritative monthly business-to-business publication dedicated to the design and technology of live events, from concert, gig and festival productions, to theatre shows and temporary events.
Circulated to almost 10,000 key international decision makers, TPi’s readership ranges from show designers, technical crew, production/tour management and promoters, through to suppliers of sound & lighting systems, video, staging, security, catering, trucking, power and more.

www.tpimagazine.com is a web resource for members of the live event and touring markets, covering every aspect of show design, from the the latest in audio, lighting, video and staging technology to the back end of tour management, transport, crewing, catering, trucking and power. The website will feature all the content from the magazines, including interviews with key industry professionals, the latest from the Production Services Association, and profiles of the latest major productions.
But it will also go beyond the magazine, delivering hourly updated news headlines from the industry, website exclusives and a look back at some classic productions – as well as regular podcasts and videos documenting Total Production’s various adventures in the live production industry.

How will I know when my paid subscription expires?
You will receive four reminders before the end of your subscription term.
The first letter will be sent three months before the end of your subscription. The second one will arrive around the time when you have two months left, with the renewal letters carrying on until you receive the final reminder around the time of your final issue.
Hopefully one of these will jog your memory to renew and they all contain a renewal form for you to complete and post back to us. You can also renew online or by fax or telephone.
For UK customers who receive their magazines for free, they will be asked to re-register their subscription once a year at least.
Why does Total Production magazine send me renewal notices before my subscription has expired?
Renewal notices are sent out well in advance so that our customers do not experience a break in service. Your last issue number is clearly written on the renewal notice and your renewal will start with the subsequent issue number.
I have paid my subscription renewal but have still received a renewal notice?
It is sometimes possible that your payment could cross in the post with our renewal notices. However if you receive a renewal notice more than two weeks after you’ve sent in your payment it may mean that we have not received your payment. It may also mean that your card or cheque has not cleared.
In either case please contact our Subscriptions Department via email on subscriptions@mondiale.co.uk or telephone 44 (0) 161 476 8395. The Department is open between 9.00 – 5.30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

We will use your personal details to process your order. The subscription forms will ask if you would like to receive special offers or new products/services that may be of interest from Mondiale Media and from other carefully selected companies. If you prefer to receive no further information apart from your subscription details, you may select this option. If you are in doubt about the permissions on your personal details, please contact us via email on dataprotection@mondiale.co.uk to specify your requirements.
