[QUOTE="Matt Harris, post: 23924, member: 361"] Re: Booking Agents... (Kinda Rant) I book a lot with an agent. Its mostly private parties, things I would otherwise not have had, so its worth it. Don't trick yourselves into thinking that you aren't paying the agent. The buyer only cares how much its going to cost him to get the band. He doesn't care who gets what. So even if the agent takes your asking price, adds 20% on top and then charges that to the buyer, you still paid it in lost potential income. Someone would have paid more to have the band. Its not different than when people assume their employer is paying 1/2 of their social security tax. Businessmen factor that in as a cost to hiring, and they take that out of what they otherwise could have offered. [/QUOTE]
