well i tihnk cos its the need to sell tix. cmon man 30 is hell lot of tix man. lol. you know, it'll be good if like one band sells around 10-15 and if there's like 10 bands. there will be like 100 or more ppl. but the thing is.. not everyone stays for the whole thing. so you just like asking ur friends to pay to watch ur band play which i think its not very nice.. yup.
 
i experience that and itz stressful to sell 30 tix especially wen ur frenz has last min changes of not going to the gig..
and u have to pay for the tix that u did not manage to sell..
but wth..u wanna perform, u hav to do sumthing for the organisers since there let u perform in their gig..

yea.. but not to the point where you have to pay $$ just to perform. i dont know who started this "pay for unsold tickets" nonsense

The Gig never gets properly promoted, Bands end up paying the organiser tons of money for a 30mins set. one time there was this organiser who kept changing time slot around, never promoted the gig properly yet he walked out of there with $$ cause the band payed for unsold tix. not much crowd too.

no offense to the rockon organiser and im not Saying you have poor management or anything, i was refering to a past experience.

well im sorry about this but the situation just.. you know..?
 
i agree that it's annoying when people cancel on you and you end up short of money. that happened to me before and i ended up with zero commission. but i think it's fair that you sell 30 tickets, i mean you wouldnt want to play to just 20 of your friends would you? you'd at least want to have a fair sized audience to play in front of. although it is sucky that you have to pay for your friend's tickets when they cancel on you at the last minute
 
The best is 20 tickets one band. Then get more bands to play to cover up rental, $800? haha. One event each organiser makes 200-300? and they are a few organiserz
 
Hmm but then there are always people other then your 20 friends within the audience to play to. Guess the question is whether people stay to enjoy music or just to see their friends.

If you're made to sell tickets you'd expect at least some substantial advertising and a credible gig experience...
 
this's why redbar and gashaus closed down...

let's face it... musicians who play at this kinda gigs are MOSTLY students and being students, we don't have an income source other than pocket money or allowance money monthly.

and asking ur friends to pay 12 dollars each to watch u guys play 30 minutes.. 12 x 30 = 360. It'd be more practical if u held a "mini" or "studio" gig at say Lcube or RSS studio where there can afford to hold up to 50+ people and each person has to come up with much lesser $ to watch u guys play for an hour set!!! maybe split the studio rental amongst bands playing...

organizors like this are simply sucking money out of the bands and i remembered reading a post about Badger's band that he got this particular gigs where u have to sell 20 tickets.. they didn't sell as much and they had their slot at the last one... in the end they just threw away all the tickets...

organizors called, threaten to call the police and bla bla bla... they threaten back saying there are LOTS of underage drinkers in the place. lol...

well many have learnt their lesson on this kinda gigs which's why the lists of bands are pretty much empty...

Im just voicing out an opinion to money hungry organizors out there so that u guys don't feel cheated to this kinda people and pls stop hunting us students for money to the tickets that are unsold...

FIN
 
Agree with Billy Bob. Know of an experience where some organiser threaten to call police as well.

Whats there to call? Got contract deal anot? Dont have no case.
Underage drinking LOL.
 
well i think the ticket pricing is fair , for the rental of the venue yeah and all . everybody has to make profits , if not the world doesnt turn . you pay 1.20 for a can of coke when the cost price is probably 60 cents or less . why cant you pay for a gig . however perhaps reduce the amount of tickets needed to be sold , down to a reasonable 25 perhaps
