Mainly bar takings in the beginning obviously a small entrance fee £10 ish and like I said start small and build up. Club can Ill afford to take many risks of which a stadium gig most of us to think is a no go.
12p profit a pint? – is it worth the effort?
Your casual pop in / out, 2 pints in an hour drinker will make you 24p
An 8 pint session drinker will tie a table up for say 4 hours and you’ll nearly make a full quid profit.
If someone nicks a couple of bog rolls then that wipes out that profit and leaves you in the excrement.
Stealing ornaments, accidental & deliberate damage / vandalism to seating, furnishings, fixtures etc and then either the ambience of the venue or your bank account is lowered.
To be fair to AWG, at least he came up with an idea. In principle it wasn’t a bad one, sounded like a potentially attractive event. But as you point out, money making opportunity might be quite low – unless the club charged a good-sized fee for the use of their land etc etc etc?
