I have never stopped any performer from selling CD's, but please don't make the assumption that you have the right.

If an organiser does not allow sales of Cd's, then they need to make sure it is clearly understood before both sign the contract.

A performer has the right to refuse such an agreement and would then probably not do the gig.

I have turned quite a few performers down, for one reason or another, which is normal (but never sale of CD's). Either the amount they want is too much for me to pay and we can't reach agreement or there is an expected minimum capacity required e.g. 200, when we only have 100 max.

Generally the fee is the first thing I want to know. That way we can stop at that point, if I can't match or even do better.
