[QUOTE="Dick Rees, post: 76018, member: 16"] Re: How do I determine how much to charge for permanent venue hire? There's so much more to it than what you're seeing. You can't leave out insurance and maintenance, neither can you ignore the legal aspect of whose gear it actually is should the venue shot down, for whatever reason. There have been many posts about this. Trying to get your gear back can be a nightmare. But most of all is support. You will have to have enough back-up gear on hand to immediately replace anything that dies. So for every single piece of gear you put in there, you have to have another on the shelf or the ability to repair it RIGHT NOW. My personal opinion on the "charge a little bit less to get the gig" is that that is absolutely the wrong way to think of it. You charge the same or a bit MORE than the competition and make SERVICE the thing that you do more of. DO NOT fall into the trap of charging less for the same thing. Yes, give more for the money, but make it how you treat the customer, not based on simple dollar value of gear. [/QUOTE]
