    Okay, let me re-phrase the question.

    How much are venues paying?

    Pretty much nothing as far as I know. You will have to rent venue. That is from 150-350. Then you get the door. So if you have 10 entrance fee and 100 people there is your 1000. Deduct venue fee and there is your "profit". That is my experience.

    Thats true in dublin city center

    OP it really depends on a lot of things. Best bit of advice I can give is ring around lots of pubs around the country that get bands and try to get a gig. Its not easy, most of the bigger pubs wont "take a chance" on a new band unless the band members have a proven track record. as for a price, decide with your band what your miminum price is and dont go below that.

    If you dont mind me asking OP, whats band is the tribute to?
