This post makes me really wonder if you know ANYTHING about Tiesto ??? Tiesto had a bad time something arround summer 2002 thatīs true but most of the times I heard Tiesto he was just awesome.. Are you talking about the same Tiesto who did the Magik Series/ISOS/In My Memory/Trance Energy 99-00 (many ppl still say itīs their fav set all time) Set and who sent shivers to 25,000 people at Arnhem ?? Seriously get a clue before posting..
Back on topic:

PvD is anywhere from 24-40K USD
think most A list deejays make between 24-60K for a 3 hr set. Depends on the dj, the venue, the promoter, the time of year, the flight, the hotel, the costs.
Most A list deejays make enough money to keep their lifestyle going. Paul Oakenfold is a multi millionaire, same with Fat Boy Slim, same with others. |

for a typical two hour set:
tiesto - 25 000 usd
paul van dyk - 30 000 usd
marco v - 3500 usd
johan gielen - 2500 usd
that's just on a regular night, they charge less on weekdays then weekends and for nye dj's can charge as much as 3-5 times what they usually do. |

I was told Oakey was paid $150,000 to play in LA just this past NYE. Of course, no way of confirming it but the source is somewhat reliable.
In his prime, Oakey was $50,000 to book - not sure if that included 2 hours or 4 hours. I think two.
And yeah, PvD costs more than Tiesto....they actually have to raise the prices higher than normal when PvD plays here (usually $35 at the door), but never for Tiesto ($20 at the door).
When I saw PvD down in LA back in October, I got a friend a ticket at the door (although they were technically sold out) after a little talking she was able to buy a ticket for her for $45. And this was a Thursday night. |

*Cheers* I fully agree, no wonder the majority of them have God complexes when they get paid such big bikkies for actually not doing a hell of alot... ;) |

EVERY time ive seen tiesto lately you can spot his mixing is well dodgy theres times for example at cream last yaer when there was some heavy double beats sh*t going on and he just quickly switched the crosfader over...completly unprofessional and definitley not the sort of performance that woudl make me think he was worth $250,000...but lets be honest...no dj is worth that amount for a single set. even the likes of diggers and sasha, never mind tiesto. anyway i dont want this to go into a tiesto debate, because its old and played out, it comes down to personal taste i spose. |
