sweet email I just got: Could you do 50 tickets at $17, need $680 back?

So the band would make $180 IF they sold ALL the tickets, moved and setup all their equipment, and played?

Actually, it's worse, $170 by my math. Sad thing is that if this show was at the Webster, a band would only make $50 (I can't imagine the Palladium is much different).

I personally think if a single date support band brings in $850 of ticket sales, even for a costly national tour (which Joey Belladona is not exactly), they ought to make AT LEAST half of that back as an incentive for selling the damn tickets in the first place, and that would probably lead to bands selling more in the end anyway. When will places learn that you can't ask bands to bring you a loaf and give them a crumb, and expect good bands to keep taking the shows and work themselves to the bone just to wipe someone else's ass. People might bother more if they weren't getting ripped off.
