Odds of Getting In
We're not gonna sugarcoat it for you: It's nearly as difficult to make it as a concert promoter as it is to make it onstage. Big agencies like LiveNation control hundreds of venues and artists, and they don't like to share. As a result, the industry is fiercely competitive, and you'll have to fight for your right to promote. That said, the career is expected to grow substantially in the future, and folks are always going to need a place to blow off steam on the weekends. Owning a club is a good way to get your foot in the door, because you'll have an always-available venue with built-in staff. Plus, think of all the lovely money you could make on drinks and snacks! We''ll have an order of net profits, please!
