In an attempt to put a positive spin on this thread:

I look at selling tickets as cheaper admission to the show and strip club for our friends and fans. If we can't sell the tickets, we can't sell them. I know that if we dont draw or make an effort by promotion, then we are less likely to be asked back. It's in our interest to do good promotion and try to sell the tickets and draw...whether we are playing marks or not. Same rules apply for venues a 100 miles from marks. It's a pain in the ass, but you can't expect to be handed a packed venue. If you are, then someone further down the food chain worked hard to get it that way.

The concept of having bands draw from different areas sounds grand in the whole scheme of things, but discouraging for out of state bands. Most don't want to travel and its hard to sell a shitload of tickets, especially if you've never played the area before. It also helps with networking if the other bands playing have similar style, fan base, etc. and want to do shows in the future.

make sense?
