Why should it be up to the local bands to cover the cost of a tour package? The package itself should be the reason enough people come out. If there were no local bands to chew the fat off of, and no one shows, who is to blame? Yeah sure, dump it on the promoter for not "advertising enough" or some other lame excuse. How about the fact that in some cases, no one really cares that much about the tour, except the washed up or delusional people in the bands that think they are still worth a $3500 package.

This doesn't necessarily go out to the bands on this show, but how many promoters know when they have a weak package coming through, that there are always a handful of bands willing to sell tickets to cover the cost of the show, because every other self respecting band in the area actually gets asked to play plenty of great shows without selling tickets.
