Icehouse In Bentonville ripoff of bands Bentonville Arkansas
As a band who put 700+ people in the club one night and got paid $1000, we feel we need to warn other bands.
If you are thinking about playing at the Icehouse, get your money up front! (Like when you show up) They have a VERY creative way of screwing the bands at the end of the night: they don't take cover from everyone (just who they think needs to pay), so at the end of the night there is no way to account for how much money came through the door. Convienient for them, bad for the band. Get your whole deal in writing!

Put a person at the door with a counter so you know exactly how many came in. If you're playing for the door, there's no way you can get paid up front. So, put your own guy at the door. That way there's no argument. It doesn't matter who pays and who doesn't, it's the clubs choice to let someone in for free, however, that person should be COUNTED as a paying customer, because in reality, they are buying drinks and such, and should be counted in your pay.
