Can you be asked to pay?
Posted on: 01.04.2013 by Zulma Ramji
hey guys, i am believeing of throwing an event on a wednesday and worry that not enough people may come out. I am told that the bar must make money first before I and promoter get paid. What if bar doesnt get money and they lose money on the evening - could they potentially ask us to pay to cover what they lost for throwing an event?

Point taken sir

01.04.2013		Alright thanks guys! I won't be signing anything so i guess the worst case i won't get invited again. cheers

01.04.2013		Sure they can ask - and you can say no. The worst that will happen is that they wont invite you back to play but if they made less money on your evening than with no DJ at all, I'd say they probably wouldn't be inviting you back anyhow.

01.04.2013		In my opinion, if the event fails, either the bar manager made a mistake by hiring that promoter, or it was just "one of those evening s" and it would've failed anyway.

Bar should take responsibility in situations like this, as they are in charge of making the decisions (or putting others in that position). But, where I come from, the bar owners/managers don't have a clue (or they don't give a crap) so I've been in similar situations.
