DJ Costs per Booking??

I'm just throwing it out there. Maybe someone will see this and help me out.

I am trying to find out how much a "BIG SHOT" DJ would cost for a 3 or 4 hour set. I am assuming the price is contingent on who, where, and definitely when.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

Chances are they're booked for the next year or so.

You could always just buy a huge banner for about $300 from Burger King and ask them to sponser your rave

The prices will vary and will need to be discussed with their management team. I've seen the prices vary on everything from size of the club, expected size of the crowd, location of the club and length of set.

That being said, don't expect to book a DJ with a huge name if this is your first event as a promoter. Management teams for the DJs that are in demand have an incredible amount of requests for bookings to weed through. Think of it as college; lots of people apply, but more often than not the one with the better record is going to get in. You need to throw local parties first, build your way up through the DJs that are popular but aren't as popular as the ones you're hoping to bring. Trying to get Sasha, Digweed, Armin, Tiesto, Ferry or anybody like that on your first try is going to be damn near impossible.

I got DJ Mikey Mike (dj mag 110 2005) to play for a bbq and some stella, and of course the chance to beat neo up. But Neo didn't come up If I ever see the woman who crashed into his car & broke his arm I'll send her on a long weekend with marc summers, psy-t & sunsnail
