Earlier this year I went to a gig with four metal bands in a pub. The pub was empty from regulars and there were only about 10 people in the audience who weren't me or my mate. As the show went on it became clear that infact those 10 people all belonged to one of the bands. We bought our ticket for a fiver instead of £8 from one of the band members, so between four bands the total profit to share was £10 - which didn't even barely cover their transport. They made more money from beer than they did from tickets.LazyEagle wrote:let me tell you, I've seen some terrible bands.
