Just to put this to rest, heres some financial info on the gig for you.
Not that it's anybodys interest but it might shut pepsi up for a bit.
My bar holds around 80 people, so I have 80 tics on sale.
17 x 80 is £1360.
Finley is getting £1000 for the gig.
Sound Equip and Tech is £120
Extra Staff (Security / Bar) is £180 Total = £1360 - £1300 costs
So if the gig was to sell out, which it won't on a Monday night, I may make a whole £60
on the door.
Granted, I'll make some money on the bar but what would be the point if I didnt? I don't run my bar as a non profit organisation.
So if you do your sums, it is not feasible to put this gig on for £10, £12 etc. So as I say its £17 or no gig. I didn't just pull this price out of my a*se!
Maybe I am guilty of not getting a good deal from the artist, and if that was what I was getting accused of that would be fine. It's the fact that the insinuation is that I am trying to line my pockets at the expense of the locals that gets to me.
