Appearance Guidelines

The following information is provided to assist in making an appearance request to include Seals Players, Salty, or Sirens Dance Team Members at your charity, corporate or community event.  Each request will receive fair and reasonable consideration; however the Seals will not be able to fulfill all requested appearances. All appearances will be subject to San Diego Seals front office approval.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

If you are interested in requesting Seals Players, Salty, or Sirens Dance Team members for your event, please complete and submit the Appearance Request Form.

All requests must be submitted at least 4 weeks in advance of the event. Appearances are generally confirmed 2 weeks prior to the event date. 

CRITERIA:

We appreciate that our Seals Representatives’ time is maximized and that a large number of event attendees are influenced by their visit, therefore the San Diego Seals Front Office will need to be provided with a clear role for the event with the following information:

Date, Time & Location of appearance requested

Clear description/directions for meeting spot upon arrival

Details for on-site parking

On-site contact name, email address and cell phone number

Expectations for Players/Salty/Sirens during event – autographs, mingle, photographs etc.

Will a dance performance be expected (if applicable)?*  (dances are 1:00 minute in length)

*Sirens cannot dance unless requested ahead of time

Please note that preference is given to events/functions that include: direct interaction with children, charity fundraisers and publicity opportunities for the San Diego Seals.

FEES:

Due to the costs associated with scheduling and traveling, all of our appearance requests do have fees associated with them:

Minimum two (2) hour appearance

Minimum two (2) Sirens per event, for two (2) hours.  If a dance performance is requested, a minimum of four (4) Sirens must be booked.

$250 per hour per player for Seals players.

$200 per hour for Salty.

$50.00 per hour per Siren.

Most appearances occur inside San Diego County, however if an appearance request is outside of this area, the representatives’ transportation, meals, parking and if necessary hotel accommodations are in addition to the appearance fee and will be coordinated with the San Diego Seals Front Office prior to payment due date.

Payments must be made at least one (1) week prior to the event.

AVAILABLILITY:

The Seals do have a flexible schedule; however our 4 week notice policy is very important for scheduling reasons.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A sound system with a CD player or iPod connection must be provided.  Sirens will arrive with music prepared to accommodate either.

Water will need to be provided for Players/Salty/Sirens while they are working.

Salty will require access to a changing room that is not a bathroom and is private from children. He works 40 minutes on and 20 minutes off every hour.

If an autograph session is requested, please provide a skirted table or booth with chairs.

Use of the San Diego Seals and/or Sirens name, logos and trademarks and/or any advertising that implies the support or sponsorship of an event by the San Diego Seals, MUST be approved in writing by the San Diego Seals prior to the event date.

Sirens are not permitted to serve food and/or beverages at events.
