I book Langdon Street Cafe, and that is why most shows are by donation - so the musicians have an audience, and the venue has business. Many artists cannot understand this and want to get paid a guarantee, but it is impossible unless they already have an established draw, or enough cred to warrant it.

While a person has a legitimate gripe about the ridiculous ticket prices for national acts, one should never complain about the ticket price or cover charge paid for local acts. Often times, this is the only money they are receiving for a gig, or ticket sales are the only thing that will keep a venue offering local live music. If folks aren't paying, the musicians ain't playing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932768005279766344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943851332958794942.post-77553995989586170722008-03-29T12:55:00.000-04:002008-03-29T12:55:00.000-04:00i second that!thanks for never asking me for ticke...i second that!<BR/>thanks for never asking me for tickets!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
