My suggestion is to take the sum that Lemmy wants, divide it by the number of seats, and let people know that they're paying x pounds per ticket just to see Lemmy play with Hawkwind (on top of the other costs).  I reckon most people will gladly pay one or two quid for a "Lemmy tax", which would translate into a couple of grand for him.  Like it or loathe it, that's the way the market works.

On the other hand, if he's asking for 5-10 quid per punter, he can go screw himself.
