Frequently Asked Questions

 

(FAQs)

 

1. Why Can’t We Quote Artist Prices?

 

There are several factors that prevent us from quoting an exact price. In many cases, artists will have different fees for local events. Some will discount their fee, or may have different requirements for events located on the East Coast vs. the West Coast, or international gigs. Also, some artists may charge different fees depending on whether it is “in-season” or during their off-season (i.e., celebrity hosts that star in television programming, athletes who currently play for a national team, music artists who are currently in production of new projects, etc.). Moreover, like any business, artist fees will fluctuate based on supply and demand.

 

For example, if the artist or celebrity has a book on The New York Times Best Sellers list, launches a new television show, wins an Olympic Gold Medal, is involved in a major news worthy event, or the like, it is not unusual for their fees to change (sometimes dramatically) without notice due to increased demand and limited availability. Although we strive to maintain the most accurate and updated fee information, artist fees frequently change without notice. Please contact us with all of your event details and requirements, and we will get you the most accurate fee directly from the artist or celebrity within 24 hours.

 

 

2. Do you manage all the artists listed on your roster?

 

No! Mr. Davild Bolds Management & Booking Agency, in association with Pay! Up! Management/Mr. Mickey Bentson, does not claim to represent itself as the management or the exclusive agent/representative to every artist on this website. Rather, we take pride in bringing you, the requested artist(s) together, and negotiating contracts in the best interest of both parties.

 

 

3. How is an artist’s price determined?

 

Artist booking fees are determined based on a number of factors and may change without notice. Such factors include: artist schedule, supply and demand, length of performance/presentation, location of event, venue capacity, and other factors. For the most current fee, please contact your representative.

 

 

4. Why do I have to submit a binder just to receive pricing information?

 

Much like you, OUR AGENTS DO NOT WORK FOR FREE. We receive hundreds of artist booking requests each day, and it is necessary for us to differentiate serious buyers from those just seeking preliminary or pricing information. Because artist fees are so dynamic, and can literally change from day to day, the agents at David Bolds Management & Booking Agency, in association with Pay! Up! Management/Mickey Bentson, expend time and reputation to determine if the requested artist is interested in, and available for your event or engagement. Thus, we require a 10% Good Faith Binder to determine actual fees, availability, and interest level.

 

 

5. Is my binder refundable?

 

YES! In the event that the requested artist is unavailable, or your offer is not accepted by management, your binder is returned to you. HOWEVER, Mr. David Bolds Management & Booking Agency, in association with Pay! Up! Management/Mickey Bentson, reserve the right to charge a minimum 25% (50% for international offers) USD “Research and Negotiations” fee for each offer submitted on your behalf.

 

 

6. How long will it take for my binder to be returned to me?

 

Domestic binders are typically refunded within 5-7 business days. When it comes to international binders, and with the laws, rules, and regulations of other countries, it may take a little longer.
