Mark's comments only make sence when the DJ does his own management. But when you're a part of a booking list of some big agent,
you can't decide about variation in pricing your fee....

So if you want to book a big act,
you just have to accept what the agent is asking. Period!
The DJ still decides what fee to set though .. Most agencies will ask how large the club is etc and tailor it round that. I've found that a lot of the time the first price they quote is nonsense, usually after discussion it drops down. We've had one of the bigger names drop their fee by over £800 ..
