Originally posted by Laushinameee I wouldnt be surprised if it was true - tbh I find it disconcerting the amount some of these djs get. I hate the fact they make out they're DJs simply for the love of the music when they go out and act like divas when they dont get exactly what they've asked for. I've heard PvD got like £40,000 or something ridiculous for one of his 6 hour sets at Gatecrasher a while back... However i would rather the dj got a shitload of money rather than the promoter - I find them even more irritating.

As much as these DJs make, it pales in comparison to the amount talentless American pop stars make.

Originally posted by Guinness Joe Sounds like a load of bóllocks to me - how could they possibly justify paying anyone that money - it doesn't make any financial sense! I've never been to the club but it would have to be pretty big to even break even - say it has 2000 capacity they need to sell out at £20 a ticket to cover Tiesto's fee. I guess if people are prepared to pay stupid money to see Tiesto for 2 hours more fool them

It gets the club publicity. SOme people may travel there just because Tiesto is on, like the club, and go there more often. That's the only reason I can fathom anyway.

$30 per ticket X 2000 clubbers = $60,0000

$10 avg. bar tab/per person X 2000 clubbers = $20,000

------------------------------------------------------------
Total = $80,000


50% of proceeds to talentless wonder DJ ( $40,000)

50% of proceeds to club ( $40,000)



Crunch the numbers and the club makes out in more ways than one.

you could still fill a 2000 capacity without inviting tiesto. my local bar hold 1500, and we probably have over 2500 customers a night. do we have a DJ, no.

£, not $

£30 for entrance to a club takes the piss... you'd be hard pushed to get 2000 clubbers in for a 2 hour tiesto set at that price.

exactly, i'd pay that for 9 hours at godskitchen, but not to see tiesto for 2 hours.

I suppose you live in a hut and give all your earnings to starving Africans? Hypocrite.

You would be suprised to see how much people would pay for bullshit hype.

Paul van Dyk charged $5o for his Central Park bullshit.

Tiesto charged $40 for his careless performance @ Vision in Chicago.

Do you want me to keep naming DJ's ???

In my experience the higher the price the more the bullshit.

... what about footballers that paid 80,000 quid just for one game of football a week? Or popstars as well.... Tiesto isnt the only one

Here's how I look at it:

Are the promoters stupid for paying that much, or are the consumers the dumber ones for buying the tickets? MUSIC IS BUSINESS people. If you have dumbass ravers and clubgoers who will spend that much to see him then I don't blame the industry for jacking up prices.

People really need to look at the business standpoint of things and stop bitching about eithical prices and selling out. Stupid thread again.
