If you're booking your own shit and doing door deals, check out BrownPaperTickets.com if you want to do your own online sales.

They charge almost nothing to you or the customer (99 cents and 2.5 percent of the ticket price - fuck you Ticketmaster!) and they're idiot-safe so even I can do it myself.

Plus, you can see exactly what you're selling rather than what the booker tells you you're selling. I've never had a booker pay me for pre-sales that no-showed and now I know hwat that adds up to roughly.

Oh, and they're actual human beings who give a fuck.

Like Paypal if Paypal had a soul or a face or a heart or a warm, self-cleaning and inviting orifice rather than simply being inexpensive.

There's my tip of the day. Pass it around. Word of mouth, you know.

BrownPaperTickets is the best, hands down. When I play my hometown of Portland, I sell tickets through them and I've never had a problem going on four times now. All the best to you in 2008, Doug.

Glad you're passing their info on. A few of the festivals use them, and they really do rock.
See you in Vegas.
Fuck Ticketmaster with a gargoyle cock.

I think it's important that I leave a message here so that everyone can tell what I think of the note that Doug Stanhope posted to help people out.

I think Doug will appreciate what I have written here, that I took time I could/should've used on getting my budget together or reading or deep knee-bends. So that's why I'm writing. I'm sure he'll appreciate my sentiment.

I also would like to point out that I recognize the humor in Doug's postings, and that, I'm sure, will be respected by everyone who reads my comment, which I am leaving, because it's important that I make my mark somehow on this planet.

I went through brownpapertickets in Reno, I had to change my ticket name a few times and called and got a REAL person. I will use them anytime I get a chance...they also donate a portion of their ticket sales to a charity of your choice, I seriously doubt ticketslut would give a quarter to an out of work amputee.

Oh yeah , that's right Stanhope , I'm back!
It's time for you to start doing standup about some real shit that's going on in America.
Martial Law is about to be delcared on this country , which means that you won't be doing any shows anywhere , because the military isn't going to let you even leave your fucking house.
Go to google video and research OPERATION URBAN WARRIOR and see this shit for yourselves.
They want to take away our right to keep and bear arms. This formula can easily be translated into a "check box" and here it is.
() Gun Owner
()Victim
check one that applies to you.
Come on Doug...I respect you and I know that of all people , YOU are not going to let some shit like this go without saying something about it.
Be a voice for America!

Well,After following Doug's Advice about loading up my socks at the Gig in Asheville...I was only with a California ID.There is some crazy law in North Carolina that doesn't allow you to drink in "Fine Establishments" like "The Orange Peel" with out of state ID's.So I proceed to go to the ABC store here in town.I really thought they meant thier LIQUOR...So I ended up out on the curb for the whole show!!!Even after being outside getting to hear it all I not only got to get this pic with Doug.But got to sip down some of my own Jack Daniels while sitting across the table from Doug at the bar next door.Doug you are aces,And better yet...I know it was not sympathy that compelled you to do that.Because he(Doug Stanhope) Is Lacking in the Sympathy Department like most of the planet.I am reasonably sure that he probably said"wow,I am glad that shithead from California took off!"But him bein Doug.And me bein that "shithead".Your still and always will be aces in my book Doug.AND FUCK THOSE CATS AT THE ORANGE PEEL ANYWAY!Doin there job when a 40 year old man can't even drink for the drinkinest comedian in the USA.Yeager bombs with Doug!Thanks Again Doug for keepin true to form,Your Friend,Schell Morton And Go Dolphins
