Where does the money GO???

We get this question a LOT at the house parties. Just thought I'd finally clear it up for everyone.

Bands
Headliner $200
Openers (2)-$100 Each

DJ-$50-150
Door Man $75
Door guy supplies-$20

Poster-$50

Kegs & Rentals $200
Cups $50
Decorations-$30-100 ($50 average)

Various expenses (cords, plugs, lights,--things we need each party) $40
Alcohol/mixers for bands $50-200

TOTAL
$885-$1285—Low end to High


The People
$5 per person
about 50-75 people get in free, either list, friends or magic
Average party 200-325 people throughout the night
200-50= 150 paying people= $750
325-75=250 paying people= $1250 (which we’ve never made)

The most we’ve had come in at a party was around $1050.
The most we’ve ever made after expenses, not counting gas driving around to flier/pick up kegs, etc is $6.
