I guess it depends on how much money your making.
If your booking for thousands of dollars a show, then 300 is chump change.

My first question, Who would EVER (or would have the money to) pay a regular
price ticket for their instruments? Sounds kind of goofy, but (just maybe),
somebody never thought before they started on the whole project? I don't
think I would pay on average:
$300 for a bag of cords and a guitar stand
$300 for a guitar
$300 for a mixer
$300 for a keyboard
$300 for extra supplies
$300 for each member of the band (2 members)
This would total $2100 just to get me to the next major city )about 350
miles away). If the people even let us take that much with us even. We have
a hard enough time taking the bus.
