Forum Favorite Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls, FSS 1/19, presale wednesday, onsale Friday.
this surprised me with his whole 930 connection (Josh, recorded a song and was on the 930 live show)
but from looking at his itinerary, I'm sure I'm sure the exec's at Live were like
'sure you can do the 930 club, but forget about these other 15 shows you were hoping to book'


also, Jesus doesn't hate Phish....he hates Phish fans....

This isn't the first time board fave Josh Turner has slighted the 930 club.

Josh?

Hell yeah, dood was Sturgill Simpson before Sturgill Simpson existed.

FSS has capacity of 2000 so to me one can't say Frank Turner is doing anything other than following the benjamins...same with the Descendents

Couldn't the 9:30 simply charge more for each ticket? I mean Frank himself would make the same amount no matter where he played, right? I'm assuming he has an asking price that would be the same regardless of which of the two venues he played.

Indeed.
It will be a great concert to attend the night before the Trump inauguration!

huh? you think they pay people the same regardless of venue? I don't think it works that way..

its not like hiring a clown to come to your house for your kid's birthday party

I think this depends on how big of an act someone is. At this level I would venture to say Turner gets x number of dollars per ticket.

I don't think artists get a set fee until they hit the stadium/arena size shows

I think, at a place like the 930. 
They say, I want 30k...you figure out the ticket price
so you sell 1200 $35 tickets

I may play a concert promoter online, but that is not even remotely my area of expertise

FT has sold out the 930 the last two times....but it did take awhile (although sold out in 20 mins and sold out in 45 days is really the same thing...in terms of money for the venue/band date of show)

There is also his show on a Friday in charlottesville...
Sat/Sun would be much more doable with my current job

I kinda like how FSS is so close to FFS
they almost look the same a first glance
I almost always say 'For Fuck's Sake' every time I see a band show up on there roster

Artists take is fixed, but closer to 50%. Club covers expenses, but drinks are basically pure profit.

I am not one to say this lightly, but can this thread get fucking back on track?

Shows?
