[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 3754172, member: 27991"] Imagine, if you will; 3 gun shows and you will attend 1. The Promoter must decide: Tables 400 x $75 = $30,000 300 x $100 = $30,000 250 x $125 = $31,250 Expenses Rent $12,000 Utilities $2000 Staff $7000 Security $1000 Insurance $4000 Advertising $4000 Most expenses are paid up front, regardless of "GREAT" the show is. Admission $6 x 3500 $8 x 2500 $10 x 1800 Higher price = less table and less people, which leads to fewer tables and fewer people, which leads to no profit and no show. Promoter MUST make money. Maximum number of tables and people. Affordable tables and PEOPLE maximizes numbers. Attendance is based on price of admission and number of tables. Admission is a necessary evil. $5 will keep most riff raff out. $10 will turn customers away. Lack of and continuous diminishing tables prevent return customers. It is a fine line. Long time promoters are few. An established name / show can / will fail quickly, when mismanagement and or greed take over. [/QUOTE]
