well take when sasha and digweed played colours this year. it was advertised as a 6 hour set. i presume their fee will have been settled before hand. they ended up only playing for 5. im sure they still get paid the set fee. what im saying is that gods probably booked sasha for the 12-4 slot, but then he cant be arsed to come on till 1, but still get the fee that was settled before hand. therfore keeping obir on isnt making it any cheaper.im sure it will vary from club to club though.

as for tiestos price thats ridiculous..12k for HIM for an hour...when i know sasha cost 12k last time he played in edinburgh for a 3 hour set.

Originally posted by mentalbarter its funny to think how he played in newcastle university union only 2 years ago cos they cant have paid him much for that

yeh you are forgetting that 18 months ago he was number 1 dj, 2 years ago he was TRYING to become number one dj. he got about like a cheap whore and id imagien he charged 1/3 to 1/4 of what he does now.

btw i think its summat like 15,000 EURO'S (ie £10k) for 90mins/120 mins?

prices dont go up loads fro mthe basic set price. thats why crasher used to book one dj for 4 hours than two for 2 hours back i nthe day before its demise. but yeh an extra hour of o bir or sasha, sasha obv gonna be priciest
