Alright, so I was digging around the internet, trying to figure out how much it costs to book those artists from the 90s we all loved. You know, the ones who sang those songs we can’t get out of our heads? I mean, it’s not like I’m planning a huge party or anything… yet. But it’s fun to dream, right?
First off, I started by googling around. Just typed in stuff like “90s artist booking fees” and “how much to hire a 90s band.” I figured someone out there must have asked this question before. I browsed through a bunch of websites that, honestly, looked like they were made back in the 90s themselves. But hey, they had some info!
Then, I hit up some forums and online communities. You wouldn’t believe the discussions I found! People were sharing their experiences, some good, some… not so much. It was like a little treasure hunt, piecing together bits of information.
My Findings
- Some agents are tight-lipped: A lot of booking agents don’t put prices on their websites. You have to call or email them, and sometimes they make you feel like you’re asking for state secrets.
- It’s a guessing game: Even when you get a quote, it can change depending on the date, location, how long you want them to play, etc.
- Some names surprised me: There were a few artists I thought would be super expensive but were actually kinda reasonable. And vice-versa! I guess popularity doesn’t always equal price.
So, what did I do with all this? Well, I made a spreadsheet (yes, I’m that person). I started listing out the artists, any price ranges I could find, and notes about what might affect the cost. It’s a work in progress, but it’s been fun to put it together.
Ultimately, I realized it’s not as easy as just finding a price list online. It takes some digging, some asking around, and a bit of patience. But hey, if I ever do decide to throw that epic 90s party, I’ll be ready!
It is kind of a mess, honestly, I thought it would be straightforward, but man, was I wrong! It is just interesting, you know?
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into the world of 90s artist booking fees. Hope you found it interesting, or at least mildly entertaining. And if you happen to know the going rate for, say, the Spice Girls, hit me up!
