TICKETS SALES – PAY
POLICY
·
Effective 9-1-08 All bands will have to sell a minimum of 15 tickets at $5
each. (In a band with 5 members that's ONLY 3 tickets a piece). Not
doing so may result in your band not playing!
·
Ticket money and extra tickets must be
turned in before the show starts.
·
Bands will earn $3 of each ticket fans turn in
at the door with their name on it as long as the minimum of 50 people (paid
through the door for the entire show not each band) show up to the show.
·
Tickets will be supplied by the Billiard Club.
WRITE YOUR NAME ON THE BACK OF THE TICKETS WHEN YOU SELL THEM (we can
reuse unsold extra tickets).
·
Tickets will be mailed to mailing address given
by your bands point
of contact. We will let you know when tickets have been mailed. Please let us
know when you receive them.
·
The doorman will ask each paid fan in attendance
without a ticket what band they came to see.* (See below)
·
If your band sold at least 15 tickets (which is a
requirement), your band will continue to earn $3 from each paid fan in
attendance that gives the doorman your name.* (See below)
·
We understand sometimes bands play
together frequently therefore you may have the same fan base. This is to be
brought to our attention ahead of time. Arrangements can be made to not ask
fans who they came to see, or a couple bands may agree to split the profits
from each other. These are exceptions that must be agreed upon in
advance.
·
The pay starts when the entire
show brings 50 PAID FANS regardless of how many bands play. Your band
gets paid based on the fans you bring.
·
The pay will not be distributed until 1am. A representative from your
band MUST be present to collect unless plans have been made in advance.
GENERAL INFORMATION
·
All band members must be at least 18 years of
age. The club is 18+ only.
·
Patrons 18 - 20 will be charged $3 at the door
in addition to their ticket purchase. Please make your fans aware of this.....
·
All local shows are $5 21+ $8 18 - 20 UNLESS
OTHERWISE NOTED!
·
Each band will receive 3 guest list spots. These spots must
be filled before doors open with guests first and last name. Those guests must
present ID at the door. Miscommunication among band members is not our problem!
Remember your guests do not count toward paid fans. (Example: If a show
that has 5 bands with 5 members and they all use their guest list that's 40
people that did not pay to get in. Please do not complain if the show
brought 30 paid fans and the bar "looked full".)
·
EVERY SHOW AND EVERY BAND NEEDS A SEPARATE BOOKING
FORM. WE DO NOT KEEP FORMS ON FILE FOR BANDS BECAUSE BOOKING TERMS CAN CHANGE.
·
Any cancellations from bands will need to be
reported immediately to Clint or Joseph (Baddist1). Tickets must be returned or
paid for. Make up dates may be arranged in some circumstances.
·
Do not leave messages at the club. Please talk
to Clint or Joseph (Baddist1) in person, on the phone or by email. If you email
please follow up the next day.
·
Load in is between 7:30p and 9:00p. If your band
will be late you must notify the club in advance. Showing up after the show
starts without notice may result in your band not playing.
·
Music is from 10:00p to 1:30a. Shows with 5 bands
typically start somewhere between 9 and 10. The door will be run from
8:30p to 12:30a or until the last band starts.
PROMOTION
·
Posters or flyers for the show must be up 2 weeks
in advance. The bands are responsible for placing flyers in the club. The club and booker do
not have high quality printers. Passing out flyers at shows weeks prior is HIGHLY
