Semantics. It doesn't matter if you don't call it a pay to play show, requiring them to "share the same feeling you do" (selling tickets) makes the show pay to play. Bottom line. No matter what you say in between, the end result is that if bands don't agree to sell tickets, they will not be on one of these shows.

I happen to think selling tickets is acceptable for certain situations, this could probably be considered one of them. But having an opening band sell 45 tickets valued at 810 dollars is out of control. How can you justify that many tickets? Tell me, what's the capacity for the Rocko's? I'm gonna say 250, which we KNOW is really high. If the opening bands are gonna tell 180 tickets between them, then does the promoter REALLY do any work? Doesn't sound like it to me.

Say what you will, It is pay to play if the band sells no tickets. All they have to do is ask their fans to purchase a presale ticket and avoid service charges, it also helps the show become more succesful.

And since I am the one that's financing the event, it is my right to have them " share the same feeling" .
