Budget for Talent Fee or Fully-Produced Show?

FIRST BUDGET QUESTION TO DETERMINE:
Are you prepared to pay TALENT FEE only, or all-inclusive fees as stated in the PRODUCTION RIDER?

TALENT FEE:   This is simply the fee the Artist requires for their services. This generally amounts to 1/2 (or less) of the total production fees (see following 'Production Rider')

PRODUCTION RIDER:   This is a legal agreement stating the Artist's needs in order to execute a successful performance (also known as 'Rider' or 'Contract Rider')

PRODUCTION RIDER costs, depending on your show, can include one or more of the following:

Airfare
Backline
Barricade
Car/Van Rental
Catering
Chair Rental
Clean-up
Electrician
Electricity/Generators
Follow Spot
Follow Spot Operator
Forklift
Dressing Room
Green Room
Ground Transportation
Hotel
Insurance
Lights
Meals
Monitor Mix
Orchestra
Permits/Taxes
Piano/Tuner
Pipe & Drape
Police
Private Security
Quick Change Room
Refreshments
Rent
Runners
Sound System
Sound Technician
Staff
Stagehands
Staging
Talent Fee - Headliner
Talent Fee - Support Act
Telephones
Union Labor as required by location
Visas... and more!!!

THEREFORE... YOU HAVE TWO BUDGET OPTIONS:

1.  TALENT FEE ONLY (YOU PRODUCE THE ENTIRE SHOW)
If you are comfortable in arranging many details, and accommodating the sometimes extraordinary demands stated in the Production Riders of many Artists, then this may be your quickest route. We will quote you a fee solely for the Artist's performance, and you will be responsible both financially and technically, for every other detail of your show.

2.  FULLY PRODUCED EVENT (TALENT FEE & PRODUCTION RIDER FEE)
This is the most popular, safest route. Chances are, you will incur the same costs (or less) by letting us handle all the details, considering the fact that we are a Full-Production Company, and either own or are able to negotiate the best deals for many of the items stated in the Artist's Production Rider. By taking this route, you simply sign the papers, and show up dressed to impress!
