David spade. 100,000

Seriously? what's he going to do, tell stories about all the funny things Sandler and Farley did?

whoopi goldberg 100,000

can anyone name anything she has EVER done that was successful?

Clay aiken, 100,000

WTF has that guy done since losing american idol?

i am seriously shocked at what some of these people think they are worth.

but conversely, i am also shocked at how little it costs to book some of these other people.

i guess there is a nice mix there.

But seriously, who is going to book Aaron Lewis of Staind for 35,000 when you can get ALL of Staind for 30,000? that's a bargain, 3 more shitty musicians for 5 grand less. nice. economical.

    I think maybe you were looking at Spoon for $30,000 because it shows Staind at $50,000 when I pull it up.

    I'm a member of a private club and seven years ago we had Govt. Mule play they were $20,000. They also had a pain in the ass rider. A case of this beer a case of that beer bottles of booze etc. Hotel rooms and travel expenses were out of this world they had to stay at fancy hotels in philly.The strangest rider was a fruit tray with specific types of fruit that they wanted no apples just kiwi, oranges etc and they never touched it. So the price tag is always more than what they are showing. The club was close to $30,000 before it was all over. The only good thing about this is I got Warren Hayes pick when he came off stage and the whole band signed the setlist. This was when Woody was the bassest before he passed away. later Yostarama

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    damn i'd love to make a one hit wonder
    and then make a living off playing private functions like this
    ..and you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable

    Good value for Nada Surf and MMJ, considering the prices some shitty bands/people fetch.

    Looking at the list I think Im going to plan my own music festival. =)

    Its not THAT much to book some of my favorite bands. I'm thinking Radiohead and Kings of Leon as the main two acts.

    Who wants to invest!

    Edited to make Radiohead headliner. I mean only $100,000 for a guaranteed Sell Out.
