We paid some large amount to the band. I think it was about $30-40k. Then we lost on staffing and other costs. The radio spot was relatively cheap... I forget how much. We could have easily made the $50k+ in bar sales + tickets + share of merch sales. It was a last minute event on a night we didn't have otherwise filled, so breaking even was fine. Instead, we ended up in debt. Fuck Live Nation (at the time it was just Clear Channel). I hope this Taylor thing blows the doors off their monopoly.
