I was going to give you an answer similar to the two above me, but then I saw that you say you will be hosting the bands at your house. If you mean your personal house, and you would be selling cans of alcohol presumably without a liquor license, this is a totally different game than having a pub downtown and asking the same title question you have asked.
I’m not being a nanny here, and this is not about ethics, it’s about law. I first just want to warn you that if you’re caught selling to underage kids or likely without a liquor license (depends on where you live), there are fines and/or jail time. The reason I say this is because typically the house makes the money off of alcohol sales and not off of door money, unless you somehow negotiate a way to pay the band a set price and take all door and alcohol revenue in. Additionally, promotion is a critical portion of making money with shows, and it’s hard to promote an event that’s in a basement of a house, not to mention these events sometimes get the cops coming and that’s when you find out an underage girl you didn’t even serve is drinking her boyfriend’s beer and you are in trouble.
OK, we’ve gotten that out of the way. Is your house the proper house to host loud live music? Is it a detached home on a large property? What is the seating and parking capacity? Who will be promoting the event? Are these people your friends? These are all factors in pricing and revenue distribution. Again, there are multiple avenues here: it’s different if you’re hosting 10 close friends versus 30 versus 60 random people, and this should affect your price point. Of course you’ll always sell drink above your cost, but if people will be drinking all night long, make the gouge much less than if they’re only buying one or two drinks. Or look into getting a keg for more profit. Be prepared that drunk people and music may mean damage done to your house (puke, spills) so you don’t want to end up in the hole after cleaning up your place!
50% of tickets and booze profits seems like a solid bet for a house party, provided the band gets free drinks which may cancel the savings out. If that’s the case, move down to 75% door profits for the band and they pay for booze.
