Nah, what I mean is it's all local-driven. When I was playing raves, it was me and literally dozens of other guys I had been on a lineup with time and time again. We're all "friends" somehow with one of the organizers of the events and we got paid on a per-ticket/per-head basis. That's why costs would be pretty much NOTHING as far as DJs is concerned, and the price was 5-10$ at most, it was a good formula (and venues weren't in Manhattan so that wasn't out of control expensive either). For example here's a flyer of a warehouse party I played at (I'll never forget it) two years ago:

The combination of the promoters knowing all of those DJs and (for lack of a kinder word) being able to "screw" them out of any booking fee, except for maybe a few hundred for Monk and a few hundred for Bam Bam, it worked well because it was everyone's incentive to bring as many people on their part as they could. This can't work in a New York City club, and it's a formula that people ended up getting tired of, I guess (look at the rave scene now)... Here's another flyer I was on, note the massive amount of talent, and the shady South Bronx warehouse location:

Basically, in a nutshell, the massive amount of DJs and their pull (even if each person has 10-15 friends they bring, that's really good), not to mention the 16+ to enter policy, getting the money to cover the headliners (the FEW times they did have any big headliners) was no problem... However, this can't work now because the DJs everyone on TA wants to see require more than a few hundred dollars (hotels, airfare, and big-headed overcharged booking fees). That's the sad state, and I hate to seem like the bad-guy for actually replying to this post negatively haha but I'm just shedding the truth on you guys, sorry!

Krazyglue is my boy from way back!! I went to grammar school, HS and College with him!!! IS that flyer recent??
