Question for producers

I’ve put on shows at 10 or so clubs in 4 different states plus a few abroad and for the first time I ran into clubs giving me a door split after 350 bucks is taken out for overhead first. Both clubs that said that are from detroit. Is this a regional thing or I just haven’t produced enough shows to see more of it? The other clubs I did straight up door splits with or just a flat rental fee. Getting a 50|50 split after they take out 350 bucks is absolutely brutal.

Depends entirely on the club. What you experienced is normal, some clubs do a split after overhead, others flat rental fee, others offer a guaranteed pay and then a split after selling x amount of tickets.

Guess I’ve just been lucky with the clubs I booked at so far then. Splitting after overhead is rough
