A couple of thoughts that I may or may not have brought up to EmmmmEfffff
, I can't remember.
1) We've been going round and round on whether this is a BN (simply meaning at this point, the members of this message board to date) event or opening it up to other boards. You can't have it both ways, although most of the folks registered and active at the other JB boards are members here, not all of them are. Are we going to impose a cut off date on them too?
2) I think we should realistically assume the higher ticket price..$300+ vs. $150. Do we really think we could get 10,000 tickets sold when active membership on this board and others is far below actual membership numbers? Even if we all invited a bunch of friends I'm not sure we could get to 10,000....assuming you want to keep this show to just "us", which was the original idea.
3) Attorneys, Accountants and Auditors are all going to cost us beyond all the expenses we've already accounted for, let's not forget that. And with this kind of undertaking, their services will definitely be required. We need to include the expenses that we as a group are going to incur, not just the ones associated with the band/venue etc.
4)EmmmmEfffffff was exactly right when he said we would need to have at least a million in the escrow account before we signed the contract. What would happen if we scraped together half a million for the contract signing, then had to default 30 days out because we couldn't make up the rest of the funds? He and I both had the same reaction to that thought...YIKES.
I'm sure there will be many more ideas, thoughts and concerns...and not just from me (promise
). Keep 'em coming!
