YOUR BUDGET/PRICE RANGE INFORMATION --
 
What price range of talent do you want to consider?
In other words, what is your comfortable budget or budget range to pay a SINGLE artist/group?

Fees range from a minimum of $50,000 USD to more than $1,000,000.
  1. Accuracy is important. An understanding of your
      talent fee budget allows us to provide faster service for
      you. Recommendations will be based on your indicated
      affordability. We cannot recommend or discuss artists
      whose fees are greater than what you indicate here.
      For example, if you enter $50,000, we will assume this
      is accurate and that your budget will not afford a
      $100,000 artist.
  2. If you are looking for a list of artists
      within a price range, indicate the range.
      For example, $100,000-200,000.
  3. If you are looking for a list of artists
      below $50,000 USD, please do not use this form.
  4. This does NOT suggest that you can get a big name
      artist for as little as $50,000. Fees for a major name
      artist for a public concert can be as much
      as $500,000 or more.
   Talent fee budget for a SINGLE artist or group for a
   single performance, in U.S. dollars.
   This should not include your budget for expenses.

    The minimum, acceptable entry requirement is
    "$50,000 USD or more."
    An entry of "$50,000 or less" is not sufficient.

    Non-numerical entries cannot be considered.
    Do not enter any of the following:
    "tbd" or "to be discussed" or "will discuss"
    "n/a"
    "open" or "negotiable"
    "it depends"
    "unknown" or "don't know" or "???"
    "call me"
     or other similar non-numerical entries.

    Prior to submitting this form, please determine how
    much you can allot for the artist's talent fee.

    Enter the actual US $ amount that you
      are prepared to pay for the headliner
      or for this artist - or the range of your budget.
    If this figure is too low for the artist you seek,
      we will not be able to proceed.
    Note: If your budget is $150,000 - $250,000,
      it is best to enter this amount.
    If you enter only $50,000, we will not discuss
      artists whose fee exceed this.

    Is the above an actual numerical figure or range?
    Example: $100,000, or $400,000-$500,000
   Yes      No

    Is the above entry displaying (or suggesting) any
    dollar figure less than $50,000 USD?

"first time for any concert"

"moderate experience"
"very experienced and knowledgeable"
"My 1st time, but my
    boss/company is very experienced."

(A brief summary is acceptable.)

      Ticket sales?

   Do you have immediate or direct control of 50% or more
      of the required funds for payment?
   Or, do you have to convince investors to give you money?
   Immediate control means the funds are
      in the buyer's account, ready for bank-wire.
