You forgot to add in the bar take for the club...150K at the door is merely a drop in the overall bucket

3000 tkts @ $50 = $ 150000 dlrs ... if he gets 50000 , thats 100000 for the club ... theres the warm up dj and the whole operation of the club .... tiesto charging 45-60 K for an ARENA SHOW seems believable , but 60 k morillo's gig @ space miami seems waaaayyyyyyy too much
trust me, its true.. and yes, it is a lot!
and i said tiesto charges 45k for a weeknight, 60k for a weekend.. arena shows may be more
so enough about big djs. i really not interested in knowing about tiesto. seem like waste of time.
i guess sasha and digweed make good enouh money.
howbout a lil lower level djs that are almost uknow. the greats that all of us know howmuch more the deserve.
I think it depends on the gig. If you go to their management site and try and book a big name DJ you usually have to fill out a questionnaire. One of the questions is How Much Are You Willing To Pay. Top Djs select their gigs not just on fees. I remember Oakenfold got an application from somewhere in the north of Canada i think saying they couldn't afford his fee but would put him up and guarantee it would be brilliant gig. Oakenfold took the gig. I remember Sasha saying when he was playing The BOMB in Nottingham. When i play The BOMB i get a few hundred pounds, when i play Fabric i get 10K
drastically overpaid imo. actually makes u puke to think that in one gig they make more than most of us make in a year. must be nice to get paid like that to play cds. and not to mention the incredible party favors they get to consume for free
^^ well...not just musicians, one could argue that all celebrities are overpaid.... It's the nature of the game if you can produce such demand all over the globe for your services, whatever they may be.
and i said tiesto charges 45k for a weeknight, 60k for a weekend.. arena shows may be more
Tiesto played here in TO back in the summer of 2005 at The Docks Nightclub and instead of his fee, he took a percentage of the ticket sales....he made somewhere around $75,000 for that one night.
