It also depends on who booked, how many times/year, past and actual relations, $$ capablility, how the dj feel about the venue and blablabla

Take 3 differents person, those 3 will call to book X dj, none will have the same price...and that for so many reasons

how much money a given promoter spends with a booking agency, he gets volume discount, first timer promoter, etc etc.

its a very special field

lolll you're right but at same time, the price for him are higher because agents know he (they) can afford (not sure for the spelling of "afford" sorry)


So is it really a discount at the end (make them believe it is)? Technically no to my opinion, but on the other side yes, because of the money he(they) will made out of it, the "maybee" exclusivity that goes with...

You have a big name = pay big prices

You know like me that we could talk about that for sooooo many hours

The beauty of the backscene lollll
