Pollstar

wenn umsatz = reinerlös ist, dann ist das ja ein ganz erträgliches geschäft.
erstaunlich, dass mit einzel konzerten so viel reinzuholen ist.
wenn man das jetzt mit dem offiziellen gewinn von rar vergleicht?...

wie bereits gesagt - ohne diese Konzerte könnte MLK sich RaR garnicht erlauben...

umsatz ist aber nicht gleich erlös !
es sei denn Band, Techniker, Soundmischer, Caterer etc. würden für umsonst arbeiten.

Obwohl ich mir garnicht vorstellen will was mal ist wenn RaR nicht mehr finanzierbar ist :,-( ähnlich wie das Bizarre .. oh gott---

dann wird ein spendenaufruf gestartet!!!
