Shown for context. Ticket sales are your revenue, not a cost, and they do not change the artist fee.

Why this number?

The artist's approved base fee of $2,750 is the starting point. A 5% event scale adjustment (600–999 capacity) adds $138, and $300 of artist costs covered by the promoter comes off. Expected ticket sales are shown for context and do not change the fee. Indicative artist fee: $2,588.

Every number on the table. Sanpo Yoshi clearly shows how the indicative fee is calculated so artists and promoters start the conversation from the same place.

Fair for the artist. Fair for the promoter. Better for live music.

This is an indicative figure, not a binding quote. Final fees remain subject to artist approval, availability, travel requirements, production needs and agreement between the artist, promoter and agency.
