A $5 ticket says: come see us play some songs (and you’ll probably attract people who want to hear some songs)
A $75 ticket says: come see a show (and you’ll probably attract people who want to see, and expect, a show)
When you’re first starting out you charge five bucks because all you have is some songs to play.
But it’s easy to get stuck in one of two places…
1. Not developing a show, therefore only ever being able to charge $5 tickets
2. Developing a great show but being afraid of charging for it because what if no one comes
If you don’t have a great show, make one.
If you have a great show, admit it by charging for it.
