How Does Payment Work?
We offer 40 seats in the studio for $20 each through Eventbrite. Sales from the first 25 tickets are kept by Shockoe Records to cover overhead. 100% of the remaining ticket sales above 25 go the band. Payments are made via Venmo about 2 weeks after the show.
The more you promote the show, the better your chances are for a nice little payout! Payout is about 2 weeks after the performance.
