But 12 x £300 = 9 x £400, the gross result is the same
Admittedly, costs per gig will remain constant, which gives greater profit margin.

Good idea. My wife wants me to charge £1000 per night just so I can spend more weekends with her.

Can't you charge (for example) £500 a night.

Hopefully, you won't be working as much but your profit should stay the same?

We have lost a few year on year bookings that have been cancelled for 2011.

We have done these for the last two years, so yes people are cutting back.

I was just thinking of reducing my prices to last years rates... but you might be right.

£500 a night. I will give that a bash for peak season. I issue 6 quotes for every Saturday night from April - Oct.... so someone will book. .... and I would still be cheaper than a basic wedding cake!!

TBH, you're a unique act. What you charge shouldn't be a problem.
