Further more it should be said that the Artist/performers should receive compensation when there name/image etc are used on a flyer to draw $$/numbers to an 'event'.......... The tatics reinforce the ideal;When you go out ,support those who are truely supporting , in a real and true sense. If this seems questionable; consider the alernitive: we'll just have every event say that just about everyone is an "Invited" guest and if no shows , no harm no foul.....right?

The tactic used by these promoters is the oldest trick in the book, moreover the fact that this happened with a promoter from your own town makes that move a bit cheeky. No one's grimming anyone over trying to throw a party or make some money, but if you're going to be in this business then respect the etiquette and ethics which are well known to all music 'industry' professionals because no one will feel offended or exploited.
