[QUOTE="SteveOTB:404238"]cav said:[QUOTE]the reason i say this is because it seems to be a weird situation when a band like tony danza probably wants a $200-300 guarantee but then they dont draw as much as expected. just wondering if promoters always get fucked paying bands out of there pocket. i just started booking shows and i want to get headliners but not if i have to pay them 100-200 bucks out of my pocket ya know.[/QUOTE] Those kind of headliners want that kind of money to pay for all their expenses such as food, gas, etc. The problem is that if that headliner doesn't atleast draw 200-300 worth then they shouldn't get that much. But it's also up to the promoter to promote the show because you could have the biggest band in the world but if it's not promoted correctly then no one will show so it's sort of 50/50, the band has to be worth that kind of money and the promoter needs to promote it enough to make that money. Poor Chris was upset that most of the bands he couldn't pay for gas money because Tony Danza & ION asked for so much I believe. Then there were the out of state bands asking for money as well. Personally I don't think the kid profited off it at all, all the money basically had to go to headliners and renting the room. Another thing to consider is that it was a week day and week days are always hard to draw. For a week day show I thought the draw was pretty good. If this was on the weekend I'm sure it'd be packed. Basically if a band is making $300.00 that's $10.00 a minute for a 30 minute set; divide that by 5 and each band member is making 2 dollars a minute which basically means each member is making 60 every half hour. That's not even including what they're making in merch sales. These bands could make anywhere from 300-400 for one night. That's definately good money in my book.[/QUOTE]
