TICKET SALES All bands in the competition will be given tickets to sell to fans and friends for support. Each band will receive 200 tickets. Each ticket is 12$ up front; 14$ at the door. (15$ at the Finals) Each band is required to sell a minimum of 35 tickets to help us cover costs. This DOES NOT cover our promotion costs. This is to cover costs such as venue rental, security, sound tech, light tech, Judges, Stage hands, Studio time, music lawyer fees, publicist fees, etc... Time slots will be determined by priority, based on ticket sales. The reason being; is a BIG part of this show is about networking, making new fans and getting your band heard and exposed. If every band does their part, then every band will play in front of a great audience, in similar past events have had crowds of over 1000 people! For example: If every band sells 80 tickets (usually 20 per band mate), that means your band can be easily showcasing in front of over 1000 people!

Just to be clear: the band that sells the most tickets will get first pick for their performance time.
