Another view is that I go to the same bar relatively regularly on other nights of the week besides the one night I run the Karaoke.
A person I see at the bar most nights of the week is the Bar's customer even if they get out and sing on karaoke night.
On the other hand a person who is almost never in the bar EXCEPT on karaoke nights is a karaoke customer, and in some way mine.
Of course there are in-between people who make most karaoke shows and sometimes go to the venue other nights.
If the attraction (entertainment) brought the customer into the bar it is YOUR customer that you are giving to the bar. If the customer is at the bar anyway it is the bar's customer.
I'm not so sure about that?
The next post may in fact reveal the definitive answer?

short reply but i everyone has made very good points, especially Fred and Kurt, in my opinion. Very Happy
Be careful with your spending budget and get what you only need for your particular show, and maximize your time and the customers.
The customer belongs to the bar whom gets paid first and we are a only a fixure to enhance the bar, hired by the bar, paid by the bar, so BOTH BELONG to the bar, until we/they decide otherwise.
Try getting "your" singers to your house and charge them the SAME prices for drinks and your karaoke FEE and see how many show up!
What if a KJ rented a hall and made the same invitation and charged a cover charge for the rental?
