PAY TO PLAY
Jack Russell’s Great White offers fans a chance to play with the band for $ 1,000.00
Cash Or Credit — Ever heard of Pay-To-Play?
Of course you have, as it’s been around for years.
Usually it’s a scenario where a band pays to support the big headliner or National touring act.
Now to be clear,, Pay-To-Play is not 100% money out of pocket – if you play your cards right.
The short version is, a band signs a contract and agrees to sell XX number of tickets for XX dollar amount for a specific show.
This is to secure their slot playing on the show, usually with a bigger or known act.
Example: Sell 50 tickets at $ 10.00 each, and you are responible for $ 500.00 day of show, or… you won’t play.
Now if you have some family, friends and hustle your tickets, this is not a bad model for a beginner band.
If you have 4 guys in the band, everyone is responsible to sell 12 or 13 tickets.
Okay…put that to the side for now.
Or…you can pay $ 1,000.00 and get on stage wwith Jack Russell’s Great White for 4 minutes and 34 seconds.
That’s right, but from our knowledge, you cannot sell tickets to this show to make any of your money back.
That is not an option, but going to see Jack Russell’s Great White will be that much better – if you buy a VIP Experience.
Jack Russell and his version of Great White are out on tour and offering a selection of VIP experiences.
One of which, will cost you $ 1,000.00 and is advertised as follows: “Play guitar on “Once Bitten”. This will include a run through at sound check. Bring a friend to take video. Experience the show from side stage. Feel the rush of the crowd!Sound check experience(depending on schedules Jack may or may not be in attendance) Autographed 8×10, Tour Laminate and Picture with the band (bring your own camera).”
There are other offers as well which include autographs, photos with the band and attending sound check.
Or option #4, includes sitting side stage and even playing tambourine with the band for $ 250.00.
Either way, have fun and you never know – you might even end up on Metal Sludge.
