This. Bringing 250 bucks or so to a "promoter" in order to play for an audience of everybody's moms and high school friends is a sure-fire way to "make it in the biz.".

Take a look at the Palladium. Most bands on here will never get to play there. 'Cause, the bands don't want to do any work getting people through the door. If you get asked to open for somebody in the big room you have to sell 100 tickets (upstairs it's 50). If you want to play in Boston at the "big" places, you'll have to buy your way onto the show. Rocko's, Club Hell, the Met, the Amber Room, Club Texas and so on will also have you sell tickets... Here's a list of what has to get paid : the National bands, sound, staff, advertising... to make the show work.

Taken from the Metal Archives page:
Perpetual local openers for every terrible thrash and death metal band that comes to Rocko's. The band is infamous for their incredibly retarded "pay to play" method in which they con unknowing bands to do all the work for the promoter and cash in on it. The name was influenced by a gay porno film titled "Candy Striper Man Orgy."
Eric Paone is the founder and only original member of Candy Striper Death Orgy, and has appeared on all releases. Eric Paone has sold almost 3,000 CDs all by himself.
In addition to their official discography there is a full length album that has been recorded, but remains unreleased because nobody is stupid enough to fund it.

i will gladly chime in on this thread now.
eric, you know exactly who i am so feel free to take some shots. i have been doing this shit for a while now, though not nearly as long as you (10+ years). i have never played a single show where i was required to pony up money for tickets, and i dont have problems pulling people in.
i promote the shit out of my shows i play/book, and told anyone that tried to make me come up with money to FUCK OFF (case in point: eyehategod last may @ rockos). in turn the shitty promoter (new england concerts) did what sketchy promoters do: cancel the show because no one will do the dirty work and come up with the tour money for them.
when i book a tour, i dont make locals sell tickets or pay. i promote the show myself by flyering heavily and lots of online promotion. when new england concerts books a tour, they do no promotion whatsoever and make the bands pay for the tour. the recent nile show at rockos was a great example of this 'do no work' policy. you are just perpetuating the same style, maybe with a slight bit more promotion. but not by much.
with this 'fuck pay to play' attitude, i have managed to play the palladium more times than CSDO and not have to pay for any unsold tickets. played club hell more times than i can count and never sold a single ticket. never had a problem attendance either. also played to way more than 80 people.
dont tell people its not raining when you're pissing on them, and dont try to convince people its not pay to play when it clearly is.
also dont brag about all the tours youve turned down. be a man and fucking tour LIKE A REAL METALHEAD. put out a full length while youre at it.
and dont tell people that theyre never going to make it with their 'shitty' attitude because youre not going to make it with your 'pay to play, shit talk everyone and never leave new england ever' attitude either.
you whine about how all these bands not being around in 3-4 years...but the fact of the matter is those bands will have accomplished just as much if not more than you have in the 20+ years youve been trying to keep CSDO together.

We had to sell 35 to be on the Harley's War show. We didin't have to sell anything for the Lizzy Borden show 'cause we let them use our drums and cabs.
Sorry man again you have no clue what you are talking about...John Put us on many, many, shows cause he knows we hustle with promo and we don't have a problem bringing in heads to his shows. And who the hell is "Pete Durell??"
I'm with Blue on this one Ive been doing this music shit for quite a long time and never have I once been asked to PAY to PLAY, well Rocko's came calling once and WE said no cause we are agaist it. never had a problem getting shows at the Middle East, Club Hell, AS220, The MET, Etc ..all with Nationals with the promoters called us to play and....payed us!!!

Getting on a show with a national is a commitment for the whole show - telling your fans to come for your set time is not honoring your commitment to the show overall. It is not abaut just you and your band, it is about the whole show. I would not book a band again whose only interest was in in promoting for themselves - while at the same expecting to gain new fans on the backs of other bands. In fact when bands ask me what their set time is on a show, unless they are the headliner, I wont tell them until they get there, and if they don't draw at least 50, I will tear up their name card and tell them to never call me again. If you can't draw 50 people you suck - go get a job at a club as a barback.
[Mar 5,2011 12:48pm - howiehowe ""]
And Pay to Play is buying the tickets up front, and selling them to get your money back, if you can - it is not being fronted to tickets to sell. If you take a show with a ticket sale commitment, you are agreeing to do the job of selling them - if you don't sell them you broke your commitment - if you don't even try to sell them and end up paying for them, it is still not pay to play, it is an indication that your word was no good.

Obviously for bands who have a chip on their shoulder - let me put this in simple terms - it is not the job of the promoter (or club) to provide you with an audience, it is the job of the promoter (or club) to bring in bands that actually have fans willing to pay to see them. National acts don't want you on their bill no matter what they say unless you can help promote and add to the audience. There is no such thing as an opening act, they are referred to legally as "Suppprt Acts" and the duty of a support act is to support the headliner by bringing in additional audience. Local acts want to act like their not being mentioned in advertising is some sort of a slight - worng - contracts with nationals usually require that they receive 100% of all promotion and advertsing - now if they get 100% what do the local acts get? The answer is Zero by contractural obligation - so if a Prmoter does put your name on a poster. or in advertising, consider it a gift that is actually in violation of their contract witht the headliner. One last thing, nobody forces you to take a gig anywhere - if you want to play then you have an obligation to do your job, which is far more than just getting on stage.
[Mar 5,2011 6:48pm - howiehowe ""]
One last note - if any of you have any idea of getting signed to any label with any kind fo real distribution take note: The labels want to know you have a market for your material, and they judge that by how many come to your shows. The time when labels signed bands becasue they liked what they do is long over - it is about numbers - if you can't get 50 people to pay to see you then why should a label risk money on you?

THIS EDUCATION SHIT WORKS.
Now if we can just start edging out the bands... [/dramatic ellipsis]Now that's hilarious - problem is there are way too many bands and not enough shows, so the fact is we promoters turn down more bands than we have play, and for the most part, many will do what it takes to get on a show, including selling tickets - however they get mad when they find they wrote out a check with the mouths their ass can't cash, and they are called on it!
If the promoter tells you that you need to sell tickets to be on the show, and you accept the show under those terms, but don't sell them - who really is the scumbag?

There are plenty of labels that have artistic integrity in what they sign.... and yes they have good distribution and their bands play round the world.

No sweat off my back - I'm not begging any of you to play, because quite honestly, we don't need you. I came here for laughs - I got them, and now I know a bunch of bands that will never play any of the venues or shows I set up, and I ahve opened several in the last few weeks you will be begging to play. If you think your comments concern me, then the joke really is on you!
The bands we put on this show will draw, volunteerd to be on the show, and agreed to sell tickets, which is probably because they have fans who will actually pay to see them. And the ones who really do the job will get bigger and better shows all over New England.
I've heard this crap for years, and eventually I see those who would not listen long out of the business, trying to figure why they never got anywhere, and blaming everyboidy but themselves for their failure. Good luck flippin' burgers in your future!

I don't understand why anyone who comes to this board on a semi-regular basis promoting pay-to-play (or "work-to-play" if it really makes you feel better) tries to put up a fight. It's so fucking obvious that 99% of everyone on this board will never take it seriously, and it's hilarious to watch you squirm trying to convert people, followed by berating everyone who doesn't agree. A lot of us have done it in the past and realized how unfitting it is for underground music.
If there are a handful of bands that keep doing pay-to-play to make the "promoter's" job easier, good for you, no one gives a shit and they'll eventually realize it's fucking retarded. If you've found your niche, stick with it and I wish you much luck in your endeavors, but don't expect anyone else to agree because you've played with this band and that band and you've turned down this tour, this festival in Europe, I've sold X amount of CDs all by myself like a big boy, blah blah blah. That shit is so fucking tired, stale and childish. No one on this board takes it seriously because no one here shares that mentality.
Bash bands all you want, tell us we're all idiots and we're never gonna "make it," if it helps you sleep at night. Underground metal bands don't give a shit about "making it." We want to play music, and if we gain anything out of it, awesome, added bonus. Am I cool enough because I've toured the country, been offered festivals in Europe, played shows with legendary bands (and didn't have to sell one fucking ticket) and sold 3000 CDs by myself without even trying in the course of 3 years?
Bottom line is everyone who opposes what you do is not going to have some miraculous epiphany that we've been doing it wrong this whole time, and we're all going to continue to tell you to go fuck yourself. Deal with it.

Here's the point, I'm not defending it, I'm telling you like it is, what we require, and if you don't want to sell tickets, I don't care, you just won't get on any of ours shows. But remember the choice to not play on these shows is yours, so we don't want to hear your whining about not getting opportunities. There are tons of bands who will do what you won't, and they will get the shows, you won't. The best you can hope for is that maybe you can find a show someplace else you can get on, and again, I don't care. Because most of the places you will get to play, and bands you will get to play with, will be small potatoes in comparison to a lot of the shows we are now planning. If a fan of yours asks why you can't get on such shows, we will say either you don't qualify, or you won't do what is required, that we require bands who can actually bring people to shows. Then you can explain to your fans, if you truly have many, why you get to play so few shows, and hope they accept your explanation.
FYI - We now have clubs in ME, NH, MA, and RI that we are booking shows in, and bands that do more than I require of them will get to play all of them with nationals. Do me a favor, never even ask to get on any of our shows, we'll use the bands who are willing to do the work. Five bands asked to get on this Blackguard show, and were willing to sell tickets, we only had time for three locals.

Yes there are suckers born every minute, PT was right on that, and you are one of them, proven by quoting him and not understanding his message, that it is all about who will pay to see the performance! Who you are really calling suckers are the people willing to buy tickets, that is who PT was talking about, not the performers. He told the performers what to do to be in his shows and they did it.

Selling pre-sale tickets to a show is perfectly fine. I do it with my rock band sometimes for shows that require it. Holding the band accountable monetarily for tickets they cannot sell however is fucking wrong (as well as making them purchase a block of tickets in advance.) I've refused to participate in the type of business for my entire musical career and will never see a justification for it.

It makes absolutely NO SENSE for you to have to say any of that to any of us. We all know how it works, AND NO ONE IN THIS THREAD IS ASKING TO BE ON THE SHOWS. Reading comprehension, get into it. Technically you are defending it; you're defending it as much as the rest of us are defending our right to choose not to adhere to the business ethics at hand. I've never heard one band on this board ever whine about not getting on a show of this nature. I don't know what sort of bands are whining and complaining that they don't have the opportunity to sell tickets, but if they exist, they're not posting in this thread.
Also, keep in mind that as it's been stated above, most of the bands here don't give a shit how small or big the potatoes are, getting to play is enough. Big potatoes to some people may just be a favorite band from the midwest just rolling through on a DIY tour that only 15 people have ever heard of. That being said, a lot of us have also gotten the opportunity to play with huge bands without having to sell even one ticket.
The point I was making earlier is that bands on RTTP really aren't the bands for your market, aside from a select few that will do whatever it takes to get on a show. Sometimes bands don't need to get on big shows and sell tickets to become as known as they want to be. Sometimes word of mouth is all it takes to get the proper recognition. But, I'll try to remember not to come crawling on my hands and knees, crying and begging to be on a fucking Blackguard show when I'm not getting offered enough shows with bands that would up my street cred. And I'm not saying there are no bands willing to do the work you guys require, I'm saying that you won't find many here.

This is boring.
Ban Bernie from ever doing a show again, And maybe this Howie dude too.
CSDO - Please retire.
If you dont want to work with a promotion company. Book your own show. Make your own rules. Take the promoters out of the game.
ive actually only played for two legit promoters.
One in worcester and the other one in NH, No its not Bernie or anyone at NEC. The people that do most of the shows at Rockos, Only ask for 10 tickets to be sold and then they split the rest with you. One show we sold 10 tickets and kept the rest. We sold 27 tickets so we ended up walking home with 170 bucks.
This is the way it should be.
Promoters that dont split the revenue with the bands that are working hard at getting people there should be blacklisted.
lets start with bernie at NEC.

If you get asked to open for somebody in the big room you have to sell 100 tickets (upstairs it's 50). If you want to play in Boston at the "big" places, you'll have to buy your way onto the show. Rocko's, Club Hell, the Met, the Amber Room, Club Texas and so on will also have you sell tickets... Here's a list of what has to get paid : the National bands, sound, staff, advertising... to make the show work.
Actually, my band is playing our 2nd show upstairs at the palladium soon. And it wasn't hard at all to snag the spot. And our ticket commitment is more like "sell what you can." So, in conclusion, you are very, very wrong.

Now if you want some lessons in reality - here are some: Sell 50 tickets for us and you get more shows, sell 100 and you get better shows and even shows at other clubs all over New England I book into, sell 200 tickets more than once you won't need to sell tickets again - You get $2 or more for every ticket sold and on top of that I allow discount coupons for walkups that will get you $1 per at the end of the night for each one used by a walkup.

just curious if you guys didnt sell any tickets for this show and they are putting you on bigger ones in the future as to what requirement they will now ask of you in written contract. it can become a serious monetary situation that you are legally binded to, so just be careful

Again with the fear mongering false claims - no contracts - name one band that has ever played on an NEC show that had to sign a long term contract?

[Mar 20,2011 3:52pm - Alexecutioner ""]
selling tickets is one thing, its a different story when being required to sell a specific number of tickets under written contract or you end up either
1) paying them the rest of the money in order to still play the show
or
2) deciding not to pay out of pocket to cover the rest of the tickets and have everyone that already bought them from you pay to go to a show you are no longer playing.
being that you guys are from NH, i dont expect you guys having as much of an issue, and i wish you luck if you choose to continue

I understand, we loved your set too at Ralph's and it was a really great night! I don't like requirements and will never pay out of pocket to play somewhere that's for sure, thats the main reason we took this one is it being in our hometown and no req to meet.

most definitely man, we wanted to bring you down for a show in MA ever since we played with you guys back in December, its been long overdue tho so i will be sure to keep you in mind next time we set something up in the area.
We've been looking to do the same in the NH area but it seems like there isnt much going on aside from the shows being put on by NEC. do you guys set up any local shows in the area? let us know if you guys put something together up there or need an extra slot for a band to play, would love to play with you guys again

Definitely alex! It's hard in NH because of the lack of venues and people (places like Milly's always gets 0 people), the brickhouse is probably the place we could get a show going though. The last one we did there with blood of the gods and acaro was wonderful, I know some people there and can see what it'll take.
We'd be down for playing anywhere in MA! thanks for keeping us in mind, we'll do the same for you. I tried contacting O'briens also, it's born of fire who puts on those nights correct?

Zack Wells of Born of Fire sets up bi monthly shows at O'Briens but he isnt their booking contact if you are looking to set up your own show. definitely contact Zack if you havent tho, he is a great guy to work with. However there is a main contact on OBrien's website that you can email as well if you are looking to get your own date in order to put together. we are looking to have another show set up at OBriens sometime this summer but i would suggest you send them an email as well, we would be more than happy to help you guys put it together if you want.
we should definitely trade shows tho, so lets keep in touch. let us know if you guys get anything going up in NH, and ill be sure to give you guys the word once we have something booked down in MA
