A few years ago I played at a 50th Anniversary in a High Style Catering Hall during the NFL playoffs...The Older couple rented a GIANT 6'SCREEN TV to watch the game during the affair .....while I was playing too.....
My point is.... You make the choices of your gigs...
They Hire You, You do your job, You get paid, You don't tell them what to do because You work for them, You can always quit or refuse to play there if your not Happy, You can always check out the venue before you ever start playing there and at that time make a decision to play there under those conditions to see if its worth it to You.
You can also sit home and make NOTHING there
