[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 123097, member: 52"] Re: Festival contracts and rain dates Graham, This item has always been in my (Welter Systems and Southern Thunder Sound) contracts: "CANCELLATIONS:If the event is canceled for any reason within 24 hours of the “load in” designated above, and prior to the departure of WS personnel or equipment to the site, Purchaser shall pay WS one-half (1/2) of the agreed upon price set forth herein. If the event is canceled for any reason after WS personnel or equipment departure, Purchaser shall pay WS the full contract price." If a promoter wanted to book (hold) a second show day from the start of negotiations, I would charge the same for it as any other two day event, since the system and personnel can't be booked on another event that day. That said, in four decades of outdoor shows, with the major percentage in Minnesota where the chance of rain seemed to be around 50%, they all have been booked as "rain or shine". If a promoter was concerned about rain, they purchased rain insurance, knowing that it would be cheaper than trying to retain artists, venue, production, and staff for a second date. Art [/QUOTE]
