[mplpost] paying for CD's (or performances)

[Doug Baker]

Dean Verger asked "When should a professional (musician, promoter, DJ) in 
the music business pay for CDs?"

I have a related question - When should a music business person (especially 
an agent or presenter) pay to see an act perform live?

As an agent considering new artists, I like to see their performance on 
stage to judge their ability to entertain an audience. I know presenters 
prefer to do the same before hiring an act. Buying tickets or paying cover 
charges for all these shows can add up very quickly.

I don't need to see the whole show or even take a chair. Would most 
presenters allow someone else in the business to stand at the back and take 
in a set?  Is there a protocol such as to contact the performer or presenter 
ahead of time?

Thanks,
Doug Baker
