Wouldn't the load in load out times be specified in the contracts?



I'm not trying to create drama, I'm just curious about how it all works. And how someone, on one side or the other, didn't catch it until a couple weeks before an event when both events have been on the books since at least last October. And why they couldn't work something out even if it meant that the responsible parties had to chip in a little more to cover the additional crew needed.



It just seems like that would be preferable to screwing up the travel plans of those who had already bought tickets and made arrangements.

There are preferences of course but really the venue dictates the window of time. For back to back shows, they typically go from load out to the venue and stay on the buses until trucks are there. For union venues, like MSG, the union has contracts, and the crew has to work within the confines of those. Most likely this is a venue decision not a band management one.
