If I reserve two of the remaining few, will you pay my flight from Abu Dhabi (economy class will do)?

Well I have just started a vomiting and flu waiting list as all tickets are sold. With the way people are getting ill, I can imagine phone calls from people who fall foul of these bugs, nearer the day.

You can untension now Breezy :-)

no refunds, just credits for the next show.

Allow extra time for refreshment and raffle sales during the interval

Date: 07 Jan 09 - 05:37 AM

If people are ill Breezy, they do not pay. We have a good group of people who let me know if they are ill. The rest turn up. It works well. People who let me down, go on the blacklist and have to pay in advance from then on. Its reserve and pay on the door.

We always have a 30 minute break between the 2 sets and do the raffle then. Most people have bought their raffle tickets before then. There is normally at least half a dozen raffle prizes.

Les, I know it's "horses for courses" and perhaps it's different for you in more of a rural community but we found the 'reservation' system didn't work for us at Twickenham. People who'd reserved were regular 'no-shows'. Which wouldn't have been a problem if they were regulars...when as you say you could black-list them. Based in sprawling suburbia we get many more 'irregulars' and we found the only way we could pretty much guarantee them keeping their word was to have their money upfront. Even then we still get quite a few 'no-shows'!

The final straw for us was after we took 85 reservations for Eliza Gilkyson a few years back and (with a week to go) declared the gig a sell-out and turning away all further enquiries. About 30 of the 85 didn't show and we only had about 10 turn up on spec. As a result the turnover wasn't quite what I'd predicted to the agent and we got in some hot water. We decided from then on we had to go with the "bird in the hand" (and it's worked well for us).

So the money for our gig with Vin is 100% banked and he'll get paid accordingly.......even if nobody turns up (imagine that!)

Gerry
I understand what you are saying and no doubt in your circumstances I would do the same.
However for us, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Becuase I do the reservations I know the people and so have a close eye on the situation.
We pay a base guarantee and it is always a reasonable figure agreed by the performer, and on the night I pay 80% of the door whichever is greater.
We don't normally get people turning up on the door, without reserving.

It always suprises me how many ways there are to get to the same point.
Bums on seats,great performers doing what they do and a team of people in the background who keep it all going so us idle music lovers can pick and choose when we can be bothered to come along and enjoy.
All credit to ya V
