STANDARD OFFER—Door split procedure

For Premium Shows/Headliners, ticket sales are typically:

• $15 adv/$18 door/$20 reserved seating while they last

• $100 venue fee off the top and prior to artist/venue split, which covers marketing, advertising, promotions, creation/distribution of concert posters, website exposure, email blasts, Facebook postings, phone ticket-sales service, etc.  This is necessary to keep Crossroads afloat.


• $50 deducted from pre-split monies if a soundman is requested by the performing artists.


• Remainder is split 70% to artist(s), 30% to house (including WCA)


• Artists keep 100% of their merchandise sales.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Crossroads may book warm-up acts of our choice to help attendance.  These acts will generally perform for 20 minutes or so, which would put the headliners starting around 8 PM and finishing somewhere between 10 and 10:30. Compensation for any openers would be from passing the basket.  This serves two purposes; keeps the ticket prices down and makes it more attractive to be an opening act! [As we all know, travel expenses have risen significantly]. 

Co-headliner shows, with artists' mutual consent, may also occur, especially if we feel it will help attendance. Co-bills split the artists' percentage of the door 50-50, unless otherwise negotiated. 

·        Media list available upon request

·        Event posters from artist’s publicity department are always welcome [13]

   HOSPITALITY--

Because we do not serve food or beverages, we must ask that our artists be responsible for their own meals on the day of the show. We are currently working on various agreements with the surrounding bed & breakfast facilities, so that accommodation options will be available to the traveling musicians as needed.  Please let Crossroads know well in advance if rooms are needed so accommodations can be reserved.  Rules & Regulations for the individual B&B facilities will be shared upon arrival…Musicians will check-in prior to the sound-check and show, which works best for ALL concerned.

Just a quick note to inform everyone that Crossroads Music Company & Listening Room LIVES!!  I've been busy booking some of the favorites from past years, while adding some new blood into the musical mix! We started the year out with a big BLUES BANG, featuring the always FUN Diddley Squat Blues Band.  This weekend features the very talented Slightly Tilted Group for a Valentine's show.  2011 should also see events that will involve local talent, like songwriter nights, open mic nights, and hopefully another BIGGER Texas Star Competition come Fall!...Stay tuned!  ~Gus
