Hi,
Im usually put on a show each year and they have asked for more money, this place is called A, I usually sign the contract and pay a deposit.
Now I want to put a show on at another location called B, its in same area.
Could the other show (A) cancel the contract or back out of it once its been signed if they dont like that Im putting a show on in (B) the same area?

What does your contract say ?1

Well they could try but if you've signed a contract isn't that binding for both parties? Given that it is, you could take them to court if they wanted to squirm out of the deal, as they'd have broken the contract.
Why would they though? That'd just be cutting off their nose to spite their face. I'm assuming here that you mean you are putting on two shows altogether, one in A and the other in B.
What you do in Location B has nothing whatsoever to do with Location A.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

Does your contract with A have any exclusivity clause about not having another event within a certain geography?2

Unless you have read the signed contracts, you cannot state that.MalMonroe said:Well they could try but if you've signed a contract isn't that binding for both parties? Given that it is, you could take them to court if they wanted to squirm out of the deal, as they'd have broken the contract.

We have not been told what kind of show or if the venues are selling tickets. If they are then venue A could be seriously disadvantaged by the show at Venue B if the are fairly close together, either geographically or date.1 -
Will the landlord or whoever you pay rent to for putting on the event lose trade coming to a business that they own if you run a similar event nearby?0
