How Much Does It Cost to Book Your Favorite Band?

Bon Jovi is one of the most expensive acts around, although there are a lot of names missing from the list.

Aloha !

The numbers are off though, but that's really no surprise as it's merely an index as to what it should cost. I once looked into booking an indie band from America and although their initial asking price was way above what I could afford it surprised me how within reach it really was. Some can be booked if you're willing to get some cash together with people, something that wasn't possible for me back then. Some indie bands are really nice towards their true fans as well, making them more approachable. :)

30-50k for Cher Lloyd?!?
F**K OFF..... She's not worth 0.1% of that, especially when it says Kaiser Chiefs are 25-35k.
Mind you it's an American list and it just goes to show the lack of taste that some people have!

If you were really rich and hated someone you could hire her to go around to their house and sing. An expensive but cruel prank...

Some of those numbers look way off - 250-500k for Florida Georgia Line? They've not been going for long yet the Goo Goo Dolls are 75-100k?

I don't believe that.

What's weird in that? Goo goo dolls is playing in venues with the capacity of about 1000-3000 people. The income from tickets are somewhere between 50k and 200k. So their salary surely can't be much more than 100k per show.

I've never heard of either of them, so I checked out their live videos on Youtube and couldn't agree more. Did a record label sign Lloyd, or find her on eBay? :confused:

FGL are massively popular right now though. They can cash in on being the band of the moment. I wonder if they'll last years though. Personally, I don't care much for them or most of new country (like Luke Bryan and the rest of the clones).

Worse.... She was an X-factor contestant......

Before I put the deposit down on my house I could have got the Gaslight Anthem to play :)

Keep in mind these figures don't include expenses and per diems for performers.

I got in touch with Chesney Hawkes manageent to see if he would play at my brothers wedding (don't ask why because I can't quite remember myself) he would do it for well under £3k performing fee but then he was wanting all sorts of nonsense expenses and extras added onto it.
