I gotten a few bookings out of state and i know most other djs that arent worldwide/countrywide known level follow similar fogures. Its all should be written down on a contract that your production company (if you signed on to one) or yourself prepare. (Always a good idea to have a contract down). This what usually includes
- Plane ticket
- 4/5 Star hotel room accomodations
- artist performing fee (usually 100-200$ for dj's our level)
- Promoter has to fulfill artists guestlist and beverage choices
- Equipment has to be provied by the contract per artist wishes (Generally Technics SL 1200 (MK2 or higher), Pioneer 500/600 mixer, CDJ 1000, Workign microphone and full range monitor that artist can adjust)
- Artist has to have a timeslot between hours 12-4am and perform for no longer then 1hour 30 min.
- Promoter has to provide the deposit with artist payments and accomodations within 3 weeks of the show
- Promoter cannot hold artist liable for any disaster, death, damage etc during the show.
I'm sure there is more that i cannot think of right now.. and this is just an example... All those big names get all kinds of crazy ... i mean 20000$ fee is by itself but then imagine paying another 5000$ for all the the want in addition |

chears for the info. sounds aroyingly tedious :( but i supose with a 2000 capacity venue the ability to make money is practicaly garintued :) i thought booking would be the easiest part.
i take it the hotel would have to be good quality for every dj but the plane tickets can be cheap ones? |

there isnt really such a thing as cheap plane tickets... you might get lucky to come across a good deal to bring a dj from out of state but if you book a big name, expect to shell out for a 1st class ticket.
Usually the out of state DJ compensation being decided over the expected attendance and door charge, also things like headliner and number of dj's playing can be included in that decision. |

I mistyped- he got 150k.
This is a fact- not a micky mouse figure.
Money+reputation is the driving force behind this business-, and as nem says, NYE is mad normally, millenium was insane. |
Jules didnt get any more than 35k for NYE at the millenium and even the Figure of 32k that was published in the sun got him in trouble with the tax man as he had claimed alot less was agreed for that night, that was for an evenings worth of compre aswell as his set...
As For Cox.. Well as far as I remember he played home in Sydney then flew round to Hawai for a gig. I dont recall him doing a Ministry Gig never mind his fee being published... |

it also depends how badly the djs want to go to that place. if they dont want to in the first place, prices would of course be high. there are special circumstances where djs would offer a lower than normal price.
and my thought is, DJS ARE OVERPAID and OVERRATED! after all, they play records, and most tracks are produced by other producers. hell they can have great techniques all they want but charging at this rate is just ridiculous. a good 2-3 hours earns you more than some guy who works his ass off for a year. not cool. |

Most of celebreties in entertainment are overpaid... The everyday DJ will be lucky enough to be comensated for what he would get for a day at his regular day job |
