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?

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.

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.

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