I have been contacted by the ex landlady of the pub who used me last NYE, she is now at a Brewers Fayre/Premier inn pub and wanted me as in her words i was `AMAZING` last year

Its £350 for 4 hours work and although its 30 miles from home i have got a room in the hotel next door so i may even enjoy a drink at midnight

Lets not be mean, I'm sure he has a perfectly good reason why he's earning so much - maybe he forgot to mention the £2000 PA he needs to hire to handle the stadium he's playing at?

400 people per night, so nothing OTT but 2 manky speakers and 2 lights don't cut it

maybe i should follow your business model and make £20 a booking?

bearing in mind i have been doing it longer than you have been alive, i know which route i will follow

I personally don't believe you could get away with charging such a high amount, if you are then well done, you are probably laughing at me!
this summer I did a 6th form prom - 300 18/19 year olds, I used my 3 subs and 2 mid tops and it sounded great, I cannot remember what I charged but it was a weekday and I think I charged £280 for it. Probably would have been £400 for a Saturday. I wouldn't say my lightshow is impressive, I am waiting on a custom framework for a new light truss and stand so it's something I will be majorly changing but your telling me that you are charging £2000 for a weekday with just 100 more guests?

Just for a bit of fun I thought what would I do if I had £4500 to spend on a NYE disco (as a customer)...

Hire a 16 KV2 subs with 8 KV2 tops (£1800)
Hire 40 moving head lights (£1100)
Hire very good DJ for £800
Pay £500 for transport and install of speakers and lights.

Spend £200 promoting your epic night because you defiantly don't have over 2000 friends!

Pay a photographer £50 to take a picture of you and your epic wall of speakers for your facebook cover photo then spend another £50 on glow sticks because with 24 speakers you cannot be anywhere but a rave!

Maybe that gives a clearer picture of why I think £4500 is OTT, fair play though... doesn't sound so bad when you say only £11.25 per person, maybe I should try this technique.

Damn those KV2's look nice!

well this has been taken well out of context, I actually meant 20 gigs at woodys price does noot equal 4.5k hence The comment about calculator

I read it as £4500 for 21 nights= just over £200 per night, which seems very cheap for December, but obviously there is a huge benefit to having 20 nights work in one place.

Horses for courses.
