sounds like Booking Rules/Policy:

Bands are only allowed to pass 2people into a show.  Your Merch person is included in the 2.  So if youhave someone you want to pass, i suggest you have them help you withdoing merch.  I would love to keep doing one pass per person but when ihave five bands that have five members each, i lose money on 25 people.and sometimes, there arent a lot more than 25 people at a show.  sothen i have no money to give you guys either. 

The Booking policy is a 25/75* door split unless otherwise specified.

bands please be timely about arrival so we can decide the order for the night, and if there are going to be problems with being there on time, LET ME KNOW BEFORE THE NIGHT OF THE SHOW!  Someone has to play first, there's just no way around it.
otherwise im going to just give the band that is there first the spot they want, and then the next band, ect... 

as always, no swearing/cursing/cussing, they're all the same thing.  and also, kids that are coming to watch shows, try to keep the swearing down. its getting a little out of hand.

thanks guys, i love you all,
Daniel

*the 25/75 door split comes after an initial expense fee for the fire escape.

here's how the pay works.  TFE only makes $$ from the door. so we have to take a lot more. and in the past i havnt been making much at all b/c i've been giving a lot of it to the bands, but i really cant keep doing it w/ out making money.  so, I keep an expense fee of 100 and then after that we're keeping a percentage of the door, and i think we're going to do 25% b/c thats pretty fair.  but if you guys cant bring out the initial $100 (20 kids) then having the show isnt going to be worth my time.  This is new but is taking effect immediatly.  If you come short of the 100 i keep whatever does come through, and i probably dont book you again. 

This isnt to discourage you from booking TFE, its just buisness.  if i dont make money, i dont eat.
