Common in the historical past, but now unusual in the age of large concert arenas, a house concert is almost invariably described as an "intimate" experience.〔〔〔〔〔〔〔John H.

Accesssed July 20, 2010.〕 ==Logistics== Audience capacity for a house concert is typically smaller than at a coffeehouse or club, but some concert spaces may accommodate 200 people;〔 others can entertain two dozen or so.〔〔 Generally tickets are not sold in advance, but cash is collected at the show.〔 Sometimes, the money collected goes straight to the performers, with no "profit motive" on the presenter's part.〔 However, at other times, the ''purpose'' of the show is to collect money to pay for rent, or is paid by a donation.〔〔 In fact, calling it a donation may prevent zoning issues that a host is operating a business such as a cabaret illegally or without a license.〔 Traditionally, there is little or no sound system, so performers may play and sing acoustically, or perform or act without a microphone.〔 Since at least the 1970s, however, extension cords, mult boxes, and other equipment innovations have enabled such performers to hook into a sound system, either inside or outside a house. Nonetheless, the musicians "use just enough equipment to make for a complete experience without being too loud for the neighbors."〔 Refreshments, if any, are usually either a "pot luck" brought by the listeners, or provided by the hosts using a bit of the gate receipts.〔〔〔〔 Sometimes, the performers get a meal and/or lodging with the presenters as part of their compensation.〔〔 Most house concerts are "one-shots", but others are presented as a series, for example, every two to eight weeks over a "season", of anywhere from six to twelve months.〔"The Playlist: Quick Hits," ''Columbia Free Times'', July 13–19, 2010.
