A dj's a dj promoters bring pepole Who is asking $500, you are talkin complete shit. Hell I paid $400 for a HUGE UK artist. All good to talk shit Ian, but at least talk reasonable believeable bullshit |

Noah, i think we been through this before, but just in case.. let me get this straight.. you want your Dj's to sell tickets AND dj at the party ?? umm, that's not what i signed up for. lol. so not only should i buy new music for your event, but i should sell tickets for you as well, meeting up with people and selling them tikets ?? humm,.. yeah, it would work good, but then again, what is the promotor doing if his dj's are selling tickets ?? lol Sorry, i get pissed when promotors impose tickets on me and expect me to go door to door asking people to buy tickets.. hell, i don't even do that for Rewire..... |

 Coolness: 2603985 | I think selling 10 tickets at 10$ a piece is better then getting 50$ cash. For 50$ I expect that a dj would bring more then just his girl friend / fuck friend to the event. This was also a massively cheap event which you knew would loose money. Every DJ, Promoter and anyone who did anything for the scene got in for FREE at the event. It was an event to try and promote parties as a whole. So by you getting people to come helps promote. Anyways... |

| Coolness: 221765 | Stop thinking about only your parties man. Parties bring the people and people bring the people. Dj's inspire confidence in the people so they know what to expect when they arrive at the party.
Its as if someone paid you to code a website for them too but there was a clause in your contract that you have to sell there product 10 times before they pay you the money from designing the site.. and if that's the case, i can sure use a hand with my site, noah !!! :) |

| Coolness: 2603985 | I don't only think of my parties. Where do you even get this from? I mentioned what I did. I said what I think. I think that the djs should bring people to an event and they should be paid based upon how many spectators show up because of them. I didn't say anything else.

ALL GOOD TO TALK SHIT IAN, BUT AT LEAST TALK REASONABLE BELIEVEABLE BULLSHIT dude all i'm saying is that it has to be cost effective, if i pay someone x amount of money there has to be some expectation of a reasonable return on that investment, if you paid 400 for a uk artist you got lucky, good for you, maybe he did you a favor, besides what i am saying doesn't apply to out of towners...perhaps i exagerate a little, but the spirit of my post remains the same. I don't think that artists should have to sell tickets but i do think the price should be in line with how many people they draw, i also think that it is lame beyond words for a promoter to promise to pay an artist and then pussy out when he doesn't make enough on the party, not paying your artists when things don't go your way is not an option, saying your going to pay someone to play a set is a VERBAL CONTRACT, ask anyone who played for me, i always payed my artist, no matter what, if i said i would i did, the one time i didn't i gave him money the next time i saw him cause i felt so bad. |
