Guests Of The Band
Our band is playing this weekend at a local bar. It's a special type of thing in that it is more like a Halloween party. The bar doesn't usually charge a cover, but for this event, they a charging a small fee ($5.00). It will cover the cost of the band for the bar.
My question is: when members of the band that bring wives, girlfriends, ect, should that guest be expected to pay the cover fee?
I told the band members that since this is not a benefit type of gig,where we play for a reduced price, or don't charge,don't expect freebies such as food or drink and that any body they bring will be expected to pay the cover.
I don't have a problem myself, but 1 of the members did. This is the same guy that got upset at one of our benefit gigs because they charged his girlfriend for a plate of food when he went to get his. (Before we started, they had told us that the bands was free.)
Just wanted you thoughts and/or opinions.
