Bollocks.

You need to be harder with bands. If they aren't going to pull anyone then don't guarantee them anything.

I used to tell people they could have 90%-100% of the door taking but wouldn't give a guarantee (I would also put the bands up so that helped their costs a little). I mostly dealt with bands that weren't pretending to be rockstars though so it was a lot easier.

I would NEVER guarantee a band £80 in Dundee unless I knew for an absolute fact they could sell out the Reading Rooms.
