It's worth chiming in that the standard contract for a touring band that would play a room like the Rialto is more often than not going to take 85% of the net ticket sales AFTER a guaranteed payment of $5000-$15000 dollars. As a professional tour manager (or, the guy that settles money with the Curtis's of the world on behalf of the bands), I'd be pleasantly surprised if the Rialto breaks even on ticket sales alone 50% of the time. Thank god for alcohol sales.
