Every band has expenses. Every gig costs a band money, I don't care if a band is coming from Kent or Kenya to play, the quality of music should be the deciding factor in how much is charged in.
The band if they are going on tour prob has a van already and therefore the only extra overhead is going to be petrol and accomodation.
If we are going to use your system to charge into gig we then need to work out how much it has cost the band to come over to play the gig and then divide it out my how ever many people are there just incase they make €2 profit by playing a gig.
Did u2 play for free in dublin because they live close to the venue and therefore had no travelling expenses? em.... no they didn't.
I am not suggesting that I want to make money of a band, I am saying that it shouldn't make a difference to anything except the music and entertainment.
I love playing music and don't care if I get paid or not, its just the principal of the matter that annoys me. Oh and by the way 10 miles is still inside Dublin...
