I'd expect the venue to read and raise any issues they had with the rider. Having someone sort through m and ms for 10 minutes isn't a huge burden on the venue.

How is it better for the band to spend time meeting with venues while they're in the middle of a tour? How should the band check that the venue read, understood and fulfilled all of the requirements? Adding a bunch of meetings to the tour schedule increases costs.
