we get the olympics, but how much will the DJ cost for the party after..


whats your rate for 2012 in london ????

Already bagged the gig

Stuff the party after, I'm taking Tiestos slot ....

wouldn`t do it anyway.

The world might have ended by then

As far as the original question goes...what would I charge? If I were using the same amount of lighting, sound etc, and playing for the "average" number of hours as a normal gig, I'd charge normal rates. I wouldn't slap on an "Olympic Year Surcharge" for the time around the games.

I dont like being charged extra for a can of cold cokecola when its hot, or for an umbrella when it rains (a'la Dorchester 2 weeks ago), so I wouldnt impose opportunist pricing on my customers either.

However, if I was doing some venue where I needed to hire extra sound or lighting, then yeah, I'd charge extra accordingly, but that would be the same any year - Olympics or not.

gary, you might need a 30-40kw sound system
will it still be the same price

Ah, Andy, you got the russian ladies put shot team disco

At least they will be able to carry my kit in for me.
