Serious question.

Why are so many musicians against selling tickets? Does it not say, I don’t have confidence that people will come to my performance? Why should a venue pay you a flat fee then? If you don’t have confidence people will show up to see you? Why should they?

Interesting conundrum isn’t it?

***EDIT***

1. We are not really talking about playing in bars and restaurants here, talking about legit music venues. Places that already sell tickets. Conversation can be had about that in another post if you like. We are talking about rooms, theatres, halls, etc. Places people come to see artists playing their music. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Unless you are a tribute band, you probably are not selling tickets to play covers.

The biggest request we have received is to make the venue database into an e-book / pdf version. We are currently working on that. The 2026 Volume 1 will be coming out very soon.

Without any extra filler, there are 3475 pages of venues, festivals, and events. (45,000+ entries) If you only knew how much time that took to put together!!!

Since this will be a tool for musicians, we figured we might give the opportunity to anyone in the industry that may want to put an advertisement in a chance. Send us a message if you are interested.

If you would like to share a story about an experience and would like to include it in the book, let us know.

We would really like to get the first edition out and available before Thanksgiving!

It’s been an incredible two years booking talent, and while we love the energy artists bring, we’ve learned a few things too! Sometimes, events unfold in ways that leave us scratching our heads.

Take Episode 1: A band arrived over two hours early for their set. While eagerness is great, it can throw off a venue's flow. Then, presumably due to inexperience with their own sound system, they ended up starting 30 minutes late.

Then there was Episode 2: We booked an act, but a different one showed up. And unfortunately, that wasn't the only surprise – the performance wasn't up to standard, and we had to end it an hour early. This was clearly a ball dropped by the band's management.

To all artists and bands: please learn from these experiences. Landing shows is already incredibly tough, and first impressions are huge. Your reputation is even bigger. Always strive for professionalism.
