-- How much do tiesto PVD and armin make to spin a set?
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

Well, of course big names make big money . But sometimes it's going to far ... Like here tonite, Benny Benassi will spun in a small venue club ( around 500 people ) and he asked over 10 000 $ for an 3hrs set + limo + 5 stars h�tel

This is ridiculous ! And , of cousre .. it's Benassi , nothing to compare with Ferry, Armin ,Oakey , Digweed etc !!

Anyways, the big-name DJs/producers probably don't make their major money off of spinning at clubs anyways - that's really, when you consider the famous DJs, just a promotional thing. Perfecto. Vandit. Armada. People get charged to see a giant commercial in a club for a cover-charge, and the club is just there to collect money from overly-priced drinks. The real money for producers lies in record and CD sales, methinks - especially when you OWN the label.

Admittedley, DJs don't always jsut spin their own music (of course), but nobody is truly making the millions and millions like Rap stars and such - EDM has a more closely-knit community, it would seem, and only a select few are allowed to excel (economically).

the biggest factor is the size of the club/venue....
obviously huge events like creamfields would be more,
but the capacity of the club is DIRECTLY linked to
how much they are paid...

ex. neither tiesto nor armin got even $15000 to spin
at _______..... with capacity of about 600 (these are FACTS),
yet at the guv in TO (capacity 3500-4000)its prolly
in the 30000 range if not higher.

Thats almost criminal to be earning that much. But the idea is quite appealing.

Who the hell wants to book fatboy slim Imagine how much it would cost to book a Dj like (PvD,Tiesto,Oakenfold,John Fleming) to play at your birthday party,lol. If I was pretty rich I would pay whatever it took to get Tiesto to play.

But yeah If I was a world known dj I would play for free just because I love the music and would like to see thousands of people be able to listen to the beatiful music that is Trance.

Tiesto asks 10.000 euros for everty half hour he spins. He said it in an interview on the Dutch television. I was sitting in my chair and shaking my head. He really needs a realitycheck!

for TiC tiesto got 150000 � per evening

depends on the venue

i worked for a club and we could fit in about 2,000-2500 people
if i remember correctly the most expensive DJ we signed was

Digweed @ $US 27,000

PvD was around 15,000 along with Tiesto

Sasha 17,000

and Marco V, Sander K - 12,000

numbers are rounded off and best estimates

Listen to his Brighton Beach mix...

However, I usually enjoy the no-name DJs, they always play weird shit, and mix it up a little bit. When I was in New Orleans, this dude named DJ P came on before Digweed, DJ P was better IMO, he played better tracks. His stuff was similiar to Digweed, but had more of an electro-feel too it.

The scene here in pensacola blows, so you gotta see the no-name DJs

Mark Reeder has said that PvD once made �100,000 for a 3 hour set at Gatecrasher.

It was rumoured Tiesto ot paid a total of AU$250,000 for his 2 gigs on new years here in Australia. He played in Sydney around 10-2, then flew private jet and played melbourne 4-close.

DuMonde costs 3000 euros! And they travel by car!

ive often wondered why do trance djs seem to demand more more money to spin than other genres.
top trance djs can get in excess of 20k
top hard house djs get around 5k
techno djs probably dont get any more than that either and i doubt any other genres do either like house.
So why does trance djs put such a high price tag on them selfs.

Heck NO!

Techno deejays make a shitload of money. Jeff Mills who now resides in London, a promoter that booked him said he was around 24K EURO! for a gig. Dave Clarke, I assume makes more than 10K per gig, same with Hawtin, May and others.

Supply and Demand

House deejays charge the most (Morillo and co.)

if you got sum1 in that played the same tunes as tiesto, or even armin (ie most wannabe "trance" djs...) you would still have the same tunes and have just as good mixing and just as good a party. its rediculous the way people pay stupid amounts of money to see these jokers. why do you pay for the image?

they made sooo much mone yand popularity from the explosion of trance.

look at oakenjoke. he's shit now and can still charge the moon. its because people are still stupid enough to pay for a name.

Your right man. I would rather just not have a dj and put on some burned Cd's of there sets and not have to pay anything

Whatever Tiesto gets paid, it's too much. If PVD came to Denver once a year his price might be merited, but he comes too often and his sound hasn't seemed to change much in the last several visits. I won't go to see these two, locally, unless it's free.

Way, way, way underpaid!

Their gigs rock!

Where is the justice?

Originally posted by RickyM They'd have it all sorted out to make sure they break even - and think - 1000 people in a club maybe spending an average of �20 - �30 on drinks - theres another �20,000. Don't worry about the clubs - they make their money alright.

I also heard that alot of nights where clubs get big name dj's they dont even break even, they wind up losing money. They do this so that they get more people to come to their club on nights when there aren't big name dj's, thats where they make their money.

lol funniest post in this thread , everybody was talking about lots of money , first class flight tickets , and then ... baaaaaaam dumonde

Yea... they're a bit overpaid. But I'd still wanna go see Tiesto or Armin or Paul if they came to town.

but from the other side if you compare their salaries to hip-hop stars (those from MTV) they dont get that much.

yea right, i bet the real lack of money making is in record sales and CD's. sales aren't like they used to be.. they all make there money in touring.

as far as the costs, it's all justified. If they can attract thousands of people out to a club, they're the ones attracting the people out, not just the name of a club or the name of a promoter - they deserve a big chunk of the money made.
