6. Question

The following cover a number of the considerations when selecting a venue. Please indicate whether each one is a licence requirement, a best practice, insignificant or irrelevant, or, maybe not such a good idea.

Sort elements

Must be on a Monday. The only logo and/or branding visible in the video must be momondays. Pricing of $15 advance/$25 at the door. Early-Bird pricing must end at midnight on the Friday prior to your momondays.
Your momondays must be held in an area that’s exclusive to momondays during the times of the show. The venue must have a raised stage with proper backdrop, lighting and sound. Pricing of $15 advance/$25 at the door. Early-Bird pricing must end at midnight on the Friday prior to your momondays.
A room that’s long and narrow is better than shallow and wide. Arrange the tables in rows perpendicular to the stage, with gaps periodically for servers to walk through.
Good parking is more important than a good venue.
The only venue available is a strip club the managers are happy to let us use exclusively for momondays on a Tuesday. Venue is great but too big for the audience size I am targeting.

License requirement
Highly recommended best practice
Good if you can do it
Insignificant or irrelevant
Maybe not such a good idea
