LoL the band should get most of that $50!
50% goes to us. We are very pleased with the deal. We don't spend all that much time with the VIPs. I shake a few hands, answer a question or two, and ignore 'em. It's not my first time in a VIP tent.
We make bank at this venue. We'd make more money by just playing this one venue and only playing this venue.
It's not a big deal to say hi to some fan!
From what you said it sounds like that venue wants you to play there, so go for it?
Playing at one venue defeats the purpose and ties our future into the venue's future. That's just bad business for this type of band.
And, I shake some hands, say nice things, thank people for showing up, and then just sit around talking with whoever's next to me from the band.
I'm currently next to Biff, she's on her phone. She's gotta go start spinning up some tunes soon.
