I was just informed that ASCAP up'd thier yearly fee to nearly 4,500.00 this year at the 120 seat bar I KJ at. Does that sound about right or is the owner getting a big one up the kazoo?

Avgs about $12 per day. Not too out of line.

I know you can barter with them a bit if he thinks the price is to high. The only way to really know if it is fair compared to the other bars in the area is to find out what they are paying. My bar owner battled price and it is a lot lower now.

Thanks Babs. I didn't know you could negotiate with these guys.

Also make sure, that he only pays for the days, he actually has entertainment. I think, you can do that, but am not sure.

Well karaoke is only one little addition in which make sure he's only paying that portion for the days they actually do karaoke. He needs to pay if he even has a tv playing, any kind of music (radio, muzak, digital/cable, jukebox) - if it's muzak or a jukebox, this is sometimes covered under the jukebox company agreement/license. If they do any dj or live music. If they have a dance floor (believe it or not).
