Bob I hear you. The question was would you sign this? I'll say it again. If I was to get contacted about doing an event in that venue, I would hope the client would let me know of this. That way I can make a decision if I want to do their event or not. I would be highly upset if I agreed to do the event there and found these restrictions when I get there, instead of given a heads up ahead of time. At times these things will happen. At least that was the case with us. I say if you're forced into such a thing, then I would just suck it up and do the best job I can. Now if I had another client who booked that venue and contacted me about doing there event there, I would more then likely pass depending on how things turned out before.
Let me ask this of the members here. Have you been put in such a position? If you were put in that position, how did things turn out and what was your take on doing the event in such a situation?
