I'm looking for a bit of advice for putting on a DnB night. It would be based in Glasgow, there's a few 150-250 capacity venues I have in mind so fairly small to start off with. There's only a couple of other nights in the city with local based residents, so I think there's a bit of a gap in the market for a night with a big name DJ headlining. I've been putting on free nights in my local area with my sound system, myself and a few friends DJing, and we have a little bit of a following. Just looking to step up to the next level.
What I want to know is how much should I be excpecting to pay for a headline DJ, aswell as transport, accom, etc. if required? Thinking maybe along the lines of Cyantific, Kasra, Break. Are guys like these even likely to be willing to play in such a small club, all the way up in Scotland for a new night? Xplicit in Edinburgh and Jungle Nation in Aberdeen reguarly book guys from down south, so why not Glasgow?
Also, what do other promoters find to be the best way to sell tickets? through skiddle, or paper tickets?
Any other costs, things I should be thinking about?
Thanks.
