Preguntas Frecuentes
What do talent riders include?
Technical riders specify sound, lighting, and staging needs. Hospitality riders cover food, drinks, and dressing room requirements. Both can add significant costs beyond the base fee.
How do I find talent fees?
Work with booking agents or use platforms like GigSalad, Booking Agent Info, or direct inquiries. Fees depend on market demand, date availability, and event type.
Can I negotiate talent fees?
Yes, especially for corporate and private events. Off-peak dates, multiple bookings, and non-competing events (private vs public) often have flexibility. Agents expect negotiation.
What costs beyond the fee should I expect?
Travel (flights, ground), accommodations, per diem, production rider fulfillment, and agent commissions (10-20%). Always ask for an all-in quote or detailed fee breakdown.
How far in advance should I book talent?
Major headliners: 6-12 months. Regional talent: 2-4 months. Local acts: 4-8 weeks. Popular dates (holidays, festivals) require longer lead times.
