How much is it to book Styx?

Postby I Stumble In » Fri Oct 26, 2007 4:05 am

I know that this may have been covered - but.....my brother recently was named to a committee in my hometown that organizes a week long music festival. We have a 7000 seat outdoor amphetheater about 2 blocks from my house. Last year we had the Beach Boys, Edgar Winter, and the Bad Boys of Rock tour (Hinder, Papa Roach). He is going to be instrumental in bringing acts here this year. So how much is Styx? 1 1/2 hour set.
The Bad Boys tour was $90K - the Beach Boys $30K.
Thanks in advance.

If you're seriously wanting to know, I would suggest contacting Alliance in Atlanta. They're the ones who make the bookings.

Hey, good luck. It would be cool if you pulled it off. You can always try Dennis' band too. I'm sure there are a few here who can put you in touch with Tim Orchard.

Fuck You Rajah - every dime these concerts earn go toward the community. Everything is done on a volunteer basis - from ticket sales - to car parkers - to stage and lighting crews - EVERYTHING. Hundreds of people volunteer every year - and it very unique. For a town of 1,500 - we do one hell of a job.

Thanks Zan. I would love to get DDY here - but - he played 3 shows in the area this year - and quite frankly - didn't draw. 2 of the concerts were free - and the other was $5. Marketing wasn't great for them though. But I know that my brother would be a little skiddish to bring him in.

I could be way off here, but I THINK it is around 50-75,000. And it all depends on their whereabouts... Meaning if they are already near your area and have an open date then it will cost a little less. I think location and availability affect the price... Like if you are in Maine and they are in Florida around the time you want them then it would be a high range $$$ amount.

Yeah, like Zan said just check with Alliance.
