The issue of taking a percentage of merch sales by the venue should be dealt with at the contract stage.

Bands like the Lovely Eggs are more suited to non corporate venues and promoters. We put them on years ago and just like other bands there was never any charge for a merch table or sales, why would there be? The band supplement their income with those sales. The promoter makes his money on ticket sales and the venue by drinks. You pack out a 200 capacity venue with a bunch of thirsty punks and it's kerching behind the bar.
And did I read that right, £35 for a t shirt! 4.99 wholesale cost.

Let us know what the final price is PU Prices are set for the rest of their UK tour (approx £60) but still nothing for Scarborough.

Forcing people to sell their t-shirts at double the price just leaves me speechless.
You can just picture these cockroaches in their boardrooms thumping the desk and screaming in between the fistfuls of coke. Nothing is ever enough for them. They are simply antisocial garbage. In a sane world they'd be facing a firing squad.

How do Viagogo and Stub Hub know they are going to source that many tickets? Must be relying on individual scalpers buying at box office source and then selling them on. Fuck knows who would pay those prices

Hollywood Vampires face value tickets: £59 to £85. Acceptable if it was Alice Cooper on his own with the full stage props stuff. But HV are just bar room swagger, Dogs Damour type boogie. Most of the local chatter is 'Ooo it's Johnny Depp' rather than any musical merits.

Mugs and their money innit when it comes to celebs I doubt I'd go if I was on the guest list based on a quick scoot through this...

How anyone would go and see Johnny Depp playing 'music'is beyond me.
He just hangs out musicians for his own ego.
Better off playing Edward Scissorbollocks.

Personally, I would rather have toothache than go to one of these 'corporate' gigs. That Hydro I mentioned in Glasgow, the bouncers don't even let the audience go for a piss once the show has started. However, there's plenty of saps who like being treated like shit so until we all vote with out feet, nothing will change.

There'll be a major incident soon Stu. And they'll all be wringing their hands claiming that they didn't know that their stewards had to have a minimum degree of training or medical emergency competence. Half of the staff at the big Scarborough OAT gigs are just given a high viz jacket and fifty quid at the end of the night. There was a big punch up at the Sam Fender concert this year, the stewards just stood there and watched it. It was the stage crew that actually restored order and handed a couple of pissed up wankers over to Plod when they turned up.
