New Residency, NEED HELP.

[calgarc]

$200 would be what Id pay you for a 3 hour set. Id say no less than $250 mate. We pay our newbies $50 for one hour sets here.

thats what i figured. i still teach on the side anyway

In the smaller clubs here warm up acts are Free to 100 bucks depending on the time slot (9 to 11, 10 to 12, 10 to 11 etc). For the 11 to 2 or 12 to 2 slots 300 is about average.

Washington DC (as if it really matters I guess)

hundred bucks an hour...if the place is packed we need to talk about it...

.....well if what you say about your level is true it's around 80% of the door 10% of the bar but that only happens if your an established artist and also the resident headlining DJ that fills the place.... btw if the venue you are a resident at is a major one and your signed or whatever.... Your MANAGER should be handling all this not the artist i'm not trying to be negative or an ass just telling you how it is. but if your like the rest of us its $100/night/1 hour set and a +1. If your headlining around 200/night/1 hour set and +5 that what i usually see offered. your area might vary depending on Venue and Promoters.

Is this serious? I can't tell.

Where in the world does the artist get a share of the bar..? Never heard of it, ever.

Where do they even get a share of the door? Only way you get any door money in my experience is if you're actually running the event yourself.

Not sure if everyone trolling or just op... Interesting information in this thread though appears 100 an hour is going rate which is about what I remember it being in a large metropolitan area that I grew up in. In the smaller area I live I doubt it would be that much for such a specific genre.

Seems to be the norm here, at least in a year's run with my crew. Sometimes it's a bit of both door+bar. I've heard "10% off the bar past a varying threshold" a number of times when discussing our gigs. After that, playing a packed place with a fixed 200 € for the whole night feels weird (certainly beats getting paid 40 for four hours, to be split among four guys, because the bar was quiet).

Precisely.
