do you think this is cool for your friend when you're telling this to everyone? I think he told this to you because he trusted to you that you keep this for you. Maybe he will lose his job now. However the club owner is stupid if he pays that much
btw Tiesto got more than GBP 250000 for every night of his concert
If it's true then it's a scandal but imo it sounds like a load of gash.

haha.. As the most popular Dj in the world, you would probably have to pay him some serious cash if would consider playing somewhere in the first place. You go where they pay you the most - pretty natural if u ask me.

What's the big deal? It's just money, and the club wouldn't do it if they didn't think they had something to gain by it, so don't worry about what other people are getting paid.
I swear, some of you are like little kids jealous of your siblings' allowance.

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.

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

Exactly, I am a promotor and we paid PVD around that figure for a whole tour of Mexico.

who gives a shit who his mate is telling? I bet the promoter doesnt even give a shit - its tiestos fee, so he should be the one embarrassed for asking for such a digusting figure when there are children starving in the fucking world and tiesto wipes his arse with gold plated toilet roll.
