What you need to do will depend on the band you book. And what their demands are. If you are taking all the risks, then you want to give away as little as possible. If you have a guarantee and it's what the band normally demands money wise, then door goes to you. If they are getting a smaller guarantee than they usually gross, then you will have to give up some of the door. Don't give a way any more than you have too, but be fair or you may get a bad name. I hope this helps. Sorry I’ve been away for a while. What you need to do will depend on the band you book. And what their demands are.

I am now about to start working with a larger college theatre where my partner and I will be renting the facility, paying the bands, etc. My question is... With a larger guarentee, say $10,000, going to a big band do I still work a door percentage into that deal? For example, most bands I book I give the offer of say $700-$1,000 vs. 70% of the door. Do I still do the versus? If not, I stand to make a considerable amount of money on the shows as well as returning my initial investment which will allow me to continue getting consistantly major acts. Thank you for any reply.
