^^^ Another thing:
How many Rotting Out fans will pay Rise Against show prices? If closer to zero than RO's draw when they headline what's the point in having them? You might as well get a band willing to get gas, tolls, two hotel rooms a night, 100 per day per member & 100% merch sales (allow them to sell merch for less than your merch.)
RO is only gonna be a financial drain.
Touring bands are so fu cking stupid. They should have a solid local opener for each city. Toss em $600 (15 paid people @ $40), hook em up with dinner & let em make 100% merch sales at prices they set (again no making them charge the same as the headliner & support.)
