Just curious is there is a market at all for requesting or entering private shows for people? 

Some people do look for help when doing that, so it could be a part of a training service!
There's usually a random request in Basic Advertising Chat if someone is needing help.
I've done it before, even before my mod/admninship. :)

I seem to see people quite regularly saying "dang, I still have to request shows" or "shoot! I need to enter shows before switch over" 

But I also get that you pay for the shows and spots already, so probably don't want to pay to have someone else request or enter for you. *shrugs*

^ The second statement you made would actually be the reason why people would hire someone to request/accept private shows - so they didn't lose out on the money they paid for those spots or shows if they themselves aren't able to for whatever reason!

I've totally seen people ask, BUT, it seems to usually either be a spontaneous thing or a private agreement...
