Jeff Ream Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Putting on a dual show would not be that tough. But making money is.I do not know the answer - I just know that shows out here don't sell out and show sponsors don't make a ton of money. Part of it is show fees, but to be honest, the large crowds just don't show up. We have shows that struggle to make any money at all. that makes no sense to me. with as little drum corps as California gets every year, you'd think there'd be huge lines. maybe it's time to really start making a push to discount tickets like DCI does for groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravedodger Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 that makes no sense to me. with as little drum corps as California gets every year, you'd think there'd be huge lines.maybe it's time to really start making a push to discount tickets like DCI does for groups Maybe the problem is that we typically have only early season shows that aren't quite what fans are used to seeing on TV. This year is extremely likely to bring people out of the woodwork. I know that well over 100 Freelancers Alumni are members of our two online groups. Not bad for four months using word of mouth.

Jeff Ream Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 the East has tons of early season shows, and they get great crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) The difference is, you have a larger variety of shows to choose from. Here, the show line-up is always the same. Week in and week out, every show, year after year. Sometimes even less when the big boys decide to go back East or out of the country for the early season.

Gary Matczak Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Putting on a dual show would not be that tough.

Part of it is show fees, but to be honest, the large crowds just don't show up. We have shows that struggle to make any money at all. as I said before,...................our shows here in Erie are deemed to be a sucess by how close we get to breaking even,....................the DCI show last year turned a profit of only $900.00, and the last DCA show lost $5000.00,.................that is cheaper than taking just about any corps on the road for a weekend,......................both came with tons of work done by the committee and our members, we had fun, and plan to have shows in 2007,................you can be profitable by selling 1500-1800 tickets, sell adds for a program book and line up some sponsors...............we have less than 300,000 people in all of Erie County,.........................there are millions of people out there,.....................LMS's have gone on for a few years now,...................redirect those energies, for the betterment of drum corps,....................you can do it!
