| From the Where2sing.com forum: Why should a venue run a promotion that brings non-paying customers into a venue and fork out hundreds of extra dollars for the privilege ? A good singer will turn up anyway if the atmosphere, crowd and sound is comforting - heaps of examples abound. I think the argument here is *not* against good singers - many of whom when they start families and have pressured jobs are often just looking for a comforting night out and just ask that the standard of the show be good enough for them to shine - but questioning what a moneyed competition offers above and beyond the other factors.
I haven't seen what a competition can do that can't be achieved by fine-tuning layout, sound, hosting personality and targeted advertising locally - including items such as theme nights that allow non-singers to join in. If a venue is in a poor location with poor accessibility, yes, a moneyed competition might temporarily fill the place up but this can never be a consistent long-term approach as the venue will just be losing money.
