All we can do is spread the word and get musicians informed of the scam.

Thanks for this post and keep informing the new guys about them so they don't fall prey.

Rumor has it headliners is no longer allowing them to use the place.

IF everyone knows about it, someone that's board should take them to court!, hell this message board is testimony enough to bag em.

Ok then, if a venue doesn't have a liquor license, how do they make money and pay the band. What is fair? Would charging a hall rental fee be fair? or would collecting a certain amount of the door money be fair? If the venue is to collect door money and not charge the band any money, what incentive is there for the band to bring their crowd. Pay to play sounds lame I agree, but it takes money to make money

[Dave]

I think you have the idea of the thread a little confused.


This is about a "promotion" company that basically rips off the bands that are willing to let it happen and not a venue.

[robex]

I gotcha. I know some of the places in town charge a rental fee to play

[Dave]

You have the hall rental at most places, how that is covered varies with every show.
