Maybe should specify that this is a genuine question and not shitposting, but obv don’t care if anyone shitposts
Between £75 & £150 depending on the band’s expenses
More if the promoter is getting a cut of the bar

Probably about £100.

So 375 cash raised…depends how much sound engineer/venue costs really.
Any more info or is it hypothetical?
Also does venue have own PA? Cos if not then PA/engineer hire would probably put bigger dent in the takings than Big Jez who does every Thursday, and two Fridays a month, and used to roadie for Hawkwind…

I figured:
Venue 100
Headline 100
Supports 70 (40&30)
Probably 30-40 for rider/beers etc

Sound engineer covered. Rider provided, accommodation not

Ahh it’s such a tricky question if you want an actual answer.
If I was playing solo and someone gave me 50 quid I’d be happy.
If I had a 5 piece band and no other costs then 100 between us would be fine I suppose.
If I then had to find accomodation it would be a little annoying.
Few answers but I put on a band on a month ago that did those numbers. It was originally going to be a free gig but I had to change it to 5 quid because of the way it was being funded (CRS stuff).
We agreed a fee of £250 and kept this after the change (I did it as 5 quid to pay them this and two support acts £50). I’ve just heard from another promoter that their booking agent was badmouthing and essentially saying I was trying to scam them, despite me being up front with the numbers and funding, and that they’d charge £400 normally.
I felt irrespective of what the ticket fee was £250 + a rider is decent for such a situation.

Seems like a surprisingly high figure to me, particularly with rider.

More than decent - 250 is higher than I’d book for a 75 cap show.

I’d be made up with that for a 75 capacity show, especially with rider included!

Let’s be honest as well £100 is perfect, barely covers transport, not sustainable in the least.
