You need a way to tie in selling merchandise. A lot of bands are basically T-Shirt companies and the music really is just the lead generator. Was in a band once

- redis_mlc 6y agoThis is literally true in the US, for the following reasons: 1) small bands normally get no ticket revenue, or even pay to play. The usual number I hear is $500 if you're an opening act, although you could outbid the previously-booked act. 2) normally their earnings would be from their T-shirt stand at the concert. But venues are even clawing that back now, or allowing only 1 design to be sold by the band.
