... and if u can afford them, maybe u should spend about £50 a night going to see them, and the rest of your money to learn how to DJ yourself!!
Mind you, it's a bit steep innit! |

Not a chance! 35 - 45 thousand, get real! Tickets to see PvD were $18 here in Toronto, they would have to sell over 1900 tickets just to cover HIS cost let alone operating costs (at $35000) which I doubt they did, nor did they take a loss in bringing him here. |

yeah, i heard that pvd only gets around $7k per hour which would be $21k for the 3-hour set i saw him spin in vegas. that seems about what he would make considering the $20 admission and that's kinda sad considering that he "re-werks" a lot of tracks that you'll only hear at one of his live performances. plus he spins some originals that you'll never get your hands on. an amazing performer. but fox could be right considering he's one of the biggest pvd addicts on the board.

| well im sorry but i dont care who u are, $35,000 for upto 3 hours work is an insult to all the hard working people out there. it is total madness. |

Starfox is right. Oakie gets a similar $25k per set too.
And you're right, it is insane! :eyes:
I'm going to see PvD in Washington DC in a week. The math doesn't look good:
$35 a ticket x 3000 ravers = $105k
And what about the venue and all the other DJs that need to be paid? Wouldn't want to be a promoter... :( |

| A PVD set is not worth $30k right now...jut pop in one of his $20 "Politics of Dancing" CD's and you can hear the exact same thing. |

Naja come on guys, can't understand why everybody has to hype all the time so much! Sure the DJs earn much but it depends mostly where and when they spin and who book him! I know e.g. that a PvD spins one time in the UK at a new years eve party for 250 000 UK Pounds and that was the absolute record so far for a DJ! But I also know that he spins e.g. at a famouse rave in Germany for not even 1500 UK pounds!
And I'm sure when the european stars make a USA tour they earn also less then normaly!
