If musicians do publicity, send out posters, have internet marketing, and try to think up a very special angle on a show, how do they get folks to come out to their gigs? There are so many concerts, and folks don't have a ton of money.<br /><br />It's amazing that organizations like freedomworks can get crazy people to do negative things at town hall meetings, but if someone is offering beauty to the world, it's hard to get people to pay attention. How do I personalize this to potential audiences and get the same results (attendance-wise) that negative organizations do?<br /><br />I have a performer who is opening for a classic rock performer in Connecticut this September, and we're making a lot of phonecalls, plus sending notes to our friends on myspace in the region. The angle we're using is "you're getting a discount on the ticket if you use our artist's name, and also that these are two incredible performers for this event."<br /><br />We're contacting everyone, even my myspace friends for this. Is this a good enough angle? Our goal is to get a minimum of 30 folks to the show. I think a problem every performance has is getting more customers–folks to their shows.
