So the artist has to pay to perform?

Can't see that. He would be under the guest list for the artist. Unless his guestlist was already sorted and he was an after thought.

I didn't ask more questions but we were talking about the pop up hotel and he said it was too expensive as it cost more/less than his fee... Wasn't sure what it meant but thats what I assumed. 

Wow, that's crazy.

and a few dance music mixes from my slightly younger days

Sounds like the fee he was paid for appearing-that the pop up hotel cost more than he received as payment?

Perhaps he meant to say that staying at the Pop Up Hotel would cost more than the fee he received for playing?

Maybe. Can't remember!

I am currently tuned into @dj matt jamesFM whilst cooking and crying (about tickets) into my chilli

It's certainly not unheard-of for acts to pay to play, if the gig would get them some great exposure. Support bands do this quite a bit to get onto higher-profile bands' tours, and it can be tens of thousands for the privilege

"@cb4747 @GlastoFest @thepopuphotel yeah I heard that place was a vibe. I gotta feeling it costs more than our performance fee tho " That's what he said

Haha - great stuff. Hopefully we can all get tickets then I may take requests :-)

Given you do motown do you still use vinyl then?  I have some sl1200's but they're gathering dust, and tend to use ableton for everything (including live music performances and music production).

Yes! Can I be a co-superstar DJ. Cannot do anything musically but I can certainly head bop to the freaky freaky beat

I'm assuming I should be safe to go for a ride on my pony?! I'll just stick to 3G areas just in case!

I do normally. At the ridge and furrow they had CDJ's so I took cd's. Couldn't trust myself taking vinyl down there. A lot lighter as well.

When I play other stuff I use serato scratch live or serato dj. Me and a mate double up on his DDJ-SZ

Just got called into an quick meeting by my manager....doesn't look like I missed anything but I'm pretty sure I just gave her the most vague answers as I was some what distracted!

That sounds like a horrible state of affairs, if true. I can understand that the expenses (tour bus, crew, equipment, etc.) for a support band can be greater than the fee they receive, but they should at least get paid *something*, and certainly shouldn't be expected to pay to play.

Yep, widespread practice, epsecially on arena tours or the larger academy tours. Totally different circumstances though I would have thought-'a guy MCing for Wilkinson at Glastonbury' isn't getting the same exposure as a band on tour announcements and playing to captive audience of thousands.

"Performance fee" can be interpreted both ways, I agree. Let's hope it's a fee that the artists get paid, not that they're paying.

[Donkeyradish]

I've had almost 1000 emails notifying me of changes to this thread today! Unbelievable... at first I was worried there'd be thousands of people trying for these 'secret' tickets but there only appears to be a couple of hundred people browsing this thread...

 I'm not losing hope just yet!

[abiwish]

number of people watching has dropped by about 40 from earlier as well

Yes I agree, in this case it does sound like he would've got a performance fee, but still ended up out of pocket due to expense of staying there

peopel are giving up

Im willing to bet tomorrow is the day for coaches and thursday for GA
