Who here knows anything about amateur production licensing?

So, my school is looking at LSOH for next year, and we're not charging admission and we're doing it in the music room which can seat about forty. How much do you think they'll charge for rights?

I know it's a very general question; but if anyone has been through a similar situation and can offer any answer, that'd be great :)

The above poster is right, except the deposit is more like 400 bucks now.

It does not really matter how much you charge, or how many you seat on your intitial contract. People would lie all the time if those two things made a big difference.It won't be cheap.

WHO holds the rights? Some are more willing to negotiate than others. Usually, you need to obtain the first contract and then you can try to TALK to someone about making reductions. MTI is the best about working with groups. (Others may give you an uphill battle.)

Many of the licensing houses determine the cost by taking into account your ticket price and seating capacity. It may not still be "cheap" (depending on your definition of cheap), but it definitely matters. I'm not sure how MTI does it, though.
