He plays a record + jumps around waving his arms in the air. :stongue: But he didn't do !!
I guess when people realize they can do the same 99% of their fav. dj's do they will realize the stupidity in all of this. Hopefully. |
People are happy to pay that much money to see him... so whats the big problem? Supply and demand... |

i personally cant see it how the clubs make any money on nights like this, but then again im not a promoter |
I just showed you the math in the other page.
The club makes about $40-$50,000 Net the DJ fee. A healthy profit if you ask me for one night.
That is assuming the average bar tab is $10 ( which we all know is a low figure) |

i think people are slowly starting to realise this... just look how oakey went.
although its mainly only in america that djs can get fees like this now, in europe i dont think it would happen so much now. |

I don't have a problem I just think it silly. I think the demand, like that for NASDAQ stocks in 99, is beyond economic explanation. It is a bubble of hype which will soon burst. |

In America capitalism is king. but lets not forget what our European friends, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig Von Mises , taught us about the creative destructive forces in a capitalistic economy. In accord with their theory, I believe time will show that these DJ's will be destroyed musically by capitalism but paradoxically this destruction will help create the setting for new DJ's to take their place and the creative/destructive cycle found in American capitalism to continue. |

Firstly - I don't give a whether it's DJ's, footballers, Shaq or Ja Rule - they're all overpaid imo.
Secondly - I don't care if they're overpaid, as long as I don't have to overpay to see them being overpaid :crazy: (ok I think my brain just imploded on that one :eek: )

i made my feelings on this subject quite clear plently of times on here and tiesto is a joke.
demanding fees like that he should be ashamed of himself he should be shot and before anyone says to me well u would take that fee well of course i would id take it and laugh in the promoters face.
There is a difference between being offered 40k and demanding 40k of course we would all take it if we were offered 40k to play. but tiesto demands this wage and thats where i think he is wrong hes in it for the money and nothing else the dance scene can do without people like this |

| Sounds a bollocks like. So how much would they be lookin a Ticket? If it is more than £20 he can go . I don't rate Tiesto's songs that highly anyway - except Nyana - awesome! and of course Gouryella. I think it looks like Kelly's instead. |

Yeah... &40,000 damn.... That buys a lot of yeyo.
Well, I saw Tiesto heading towards Oakeyville a long time ago, even before his skinny head swelled up. As I mentioned numerously here, the day he started talking of himself in a 3rd person, I lost all respect for him. The only people who are allowed to talk about themselves in a 3rd person are soldiers (that's coz' they brain wash them here not to use "I") and mentally challenged people... as in: "Yeah, Tijis can spin records... yea... definitely can spin and beatmatch..."
Whatever, all I know he ain't gettin a dollar from me no mo'. And besides, as any DJ knows, once you hit #1 spot, grab all you can coz' the sheer nature of the scene will force you out in more or less 3 years. So, get paid while you can, coz it ain't comming back once you're done with #1 spot.
That's the only logical explanation I can see. |
