Tom Brookes Music Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 A question, and apologies for a hijack.....when you booked this, did the promoter tell you that you'd have to commit to selling 30 tickets? I'd heard that this was a good venue for out of town originals bands to go and play, only to be told that my band would have to sell 30 tickets in order to play!

EssentialTension Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I can't speak for BRX but my son's band have played the Zanzibar more than once and had no requirement to sell any tickets. They are Liverpool based though - music students at the university. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 All the gig booking is done by Mr Venom so I don't know the exact details, only that we don't play gigs where we are expected to sell tickets in order to play. IIRC this gig has been organised by Bad To The Bone And The Faming Pumas who are fans of the band and we are "special guests". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Checked with son and he says they have never been required to sell tickets. He's back in Brighton but he's told his Liverpool mates to pop down the Zanzibar tomorrow night - I don't know if they will. Have a good one.

TBH we have a decent enough following in Liverpool to not have a problem selling 30 tickets if we had to. However this will be our 3rd gig in the city this year and there are other venues and promoters there that would give us a gig and pay us enough to make it worth our while, so having sell tickets in order to get the gig was never really an option for us.

Tom Brookes Music Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Fair play dude, you do far better for yourselves than we do! I'll try and make it down the next time that you're in Stoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
