Hi guys,
Pardon me if this has been previously discussed on TF but I really wanted to know the fees and charges made by all the great DJs for a show... the expenses for organizing a 2-3 day event in different country and a DJ's accomodation ...etc.
Anyone lending an accurate information would be of great help to me!
Maybe anyone into Trance events can help me with this.
Thanks. :)
Ive heard figures of $10.000 - $20.000 for an evening (few hours spinning). For 2-3 days.... probably a bit more. They usually just fly in and leave right after to the next event
Alright... I was reading somewhere on TF that Tiesto charges around $ 1,50,000 and PvD around $ 1,00,000 for a show?
Does Tiesto perform in clubs with a minimal crowd? I mean Tiesto does open air shows right?
Is it?
around 1 million for a show? no, that can't be realistic. you have to think what the fans are paying for tickets too, a portion goes to the dj ontop of the original booking fee of course, but over 1 million is just too steep I believe. I'm going to agree with 2030, around 20-30 thousand dollars. I know of a few where PVD and Tiesto did around 120 thousand, to spin and set up for about 4 hours.
Here's the bottom line:
An arm and a leg. :D
yes i always wonder that too
a friend of germany told me pvd can get 2000 for a night .. but im not sure
i really want to know , how much they get payed only for a night (2hour- set)

for the top five dj's, depending on the set time and venue, i hear its around $200,000
low level dj's, like the new york circuit dj's get like $10,000 a set, and most aren't even on the dj mag list
well magna where gatecrasher is hosting there nites (while gatecrasher one is no longer with us) holds about 5000 ppl and the charge around £30 a ticket
they charge between £2.50 - £4 for water/beer, cud say tht every1 drinks on average 5bottles water/beer
5000ppl * £30 = £150000
5000ppl * 5 drinks each 25000 drinks @ say £3.50 each = £87500
total = £237500
(plus where ever else they make money)
so say about 250k to b shared between all djs bar staff and other bills
a good friend of mine that spins mostly house in nyc gets about 8-12 thousand dollars (depending on venue size, night, or special holiday) and a percentage of gross sales...depending how the contract is negotiated beforehand..and they get a a nice guestlist to comp friends :blink1:
lets just say its a nice life to be a DJ..even if you are not named top 5 DJ..hehehe :yes_new:
Lol... Yeah Armin, PvD, Tiësto, such guys get about 15.000 an hour. But smaller guys (and trust me, I'm sure) get about 1000 an hour. Sander, Markus, the guys in the middle, they get about 10.000 an hour. (this is all in euro's)
Last pvd gig in Brazil... cost:Quote:

Total tickets: 7000 (6000*65,00=390k / 1000*120=120k) = 510k
parking service: R$35,00 (about US$17,50)
parking service total: 17,50*7000=120,5k
bar:
beer - US$1,50
absolut vodka (shot) - US$7,50
absolut vodka (bottle) - US$110,00
redbull - US$8,00
if the mean was of about US$50,00 each (based on what me and my friends spent)...
7000*50,00=350k
total: 510+120,5+350=980,5k
if headliner DJ (in case PvD) takes about... 10% of the night... he is going to put in his pockets about 98,05k that is reasonable I think... considering it was a 5 hours set... and his unique event in Brazil this year... so what u guys think?
Cheers!
:redbull:
i think it would more than that
Also depending on the dj they ask for extra stuff (like food, champagne and other random stuff)
