Furthermore, if this has happened to you, have you been undercut by a cheaper DJ for NYE?

$1,500 but I'm bringing a 5 speaker system and decks and shit.

A true professional DJ will not discuss numbers. They will just make sure they are getting paid above the norm and that they are being taken care of properly for the occasion.

I'm actually in the midst of negotiating a price for an out-of-state event.
As of right now, my "inside source" says it essentially will come down to who charges the least.
Should know by next week.

SAME HERE. Negotiation underway. The best deal gets me... I at least wont turn off the music If I dont get a bottle. LOL

Half of the door.

I understand a bidding battle is arise, but charge what you think is reasonable.

double the usual rate is a good start

double is pretty fair for a residency.

so ill be making $64.36

































jk.

If its someone...or place that doesnt usually do music on NYE i.e. big huge hotel party or what not and you are the ONLY DJ i would look @ the ticket price and base it off of that.

it also depeds on how good you hustle is or how well you will attract people to a place that does/doesnt usually have a DJ.

are you drawing people to there spot? or is the place going to fill up regardless.

5k

$4.09 + gratuity & a ham sandwich.

I got a call the other nite to do a crazy event NYE from a good friend of mine. They asked me to do the entire nite. These cats got dough and I don't have to discuss my payment with them becuz we understand the business side of this.

Double my normal at my three-year residency. I'd normally charge even more - but these guys are good to me.

1500 and thats cuz i'm they resident dj and we just doing something on location for this one night.
