i like the percentage idea, but i think some djs feel making less money is beneath them...kind of like professional atheletes who demand millions because someone else is making millions, meanwhile ticket prices soar...

sometimes djs do come through for the punters though...almost every time a big techno dj played in nyc when i lived there (cari, adam, richie, steve rachmad, etc.), you'd see them at tronic treatment a couple days later, initially for free, then $3 when they moved locations. of course this is likely because the djs are friends with christian smith...but it was still great for us...
