[QUOTE="NateTheWar:1028432"][QUOTE="ryann_:1028303"]i would much rather get on a "big" show because my band was working hard deserved to be on a "big" show. its very dishonest to me to pay to play. it says nothing of the quality of your music, but only of your willingness to shell out cash. if you can sleep at night knowing that the only worthwhile accomplishments you made, were because you bought your way on to a show, then thats great for you. Its crazy to me how disillusioned some people are. [/QUOTE] Exactly. I always go into bands hoping there is some ultimate payoff. Whether that be having having a great time with my friends, creating some killer tunes, or just not giving a fuck about anything in general. Rarely would I ever consider being on the biggest stage or the biggest paycheck the payoff, and I have a hard time being in bands with people who are looking for the big buck. It takes away from why you originally got into the band in the first place. I walked away from getting close to $2K or more after tours because I wasn't into it. Being in a serious band is hard work, and it definitely sucks sometimes, but when it pays off it feels great, especially when the bigger shows go in your favor. Anyone who expects overnight success because they think their shit is sweet is fucked. There's lots of great local bands that deserve to open for a national tour without having to sell tickets. How many times have you seen a flier and thought "Why the fuck is that band on the show?" A proper national tour show shouldn't require bands to sell presale tickets. The package alone, with proper advertising, should sell the tickets themselves, unless the tour itself is garbage from the get go. [/QUOTE]
