One night Club Event
One night Club Event Posted on: 27.11.2011 by Henrietta Dortch Hey DJTTers,I live in a small town in Pennsylvania, where the only entertainment is an under-21-club that is pretty trashy, and terribly run. There's roughly 70,000 people in the area (not all kids, obviously) and my brother has been tossing around the idea of a one evening club-type event graduation weekend. There's a huge warehouse that we would rent, rent a huge sound and lighting system, hire a Pittsburgh based Dj, and make it an exclusive, all-out event. Has anyone tried this? How much would it cost? How much could you charge? Is there any way to make solid profit? or is it all just a waste of time and cash? Give as much help as you can, and thanks! | |

To make something like this successful you have to have a reputation that your events are off the fucking wall crazy and everyone that comes is gonna have a blast. Reputation is key. That's just a lil bit of the promo biz. There's a lot more too that line of work in order to make a successful event, much more for a bigger event like your planning. (you'd probably be dishing out a lot of $$ btw) Bottom line is, if this is your first event I would not recommend it. Get a small house or small venue too throw your first event. But even still, venues are gonna want $$ |

| Henrietta Dortch 28.11.2011 | After the research we've put in, the under 21 club has the perfect foundation to have a huge club events, just the people who run it do a terrible job, so we're going to approach the person who owns the building, and is the "head-honcho" and try to take it over. There are about 5 big public schools around here, and right now, the only get kids from one of those schools, so with a better club atmosphere, we could really have some big ass parties once or twice a month. That said, any pittsburgh Dj's, send me contacts, we're sure that if (and i emphasize IF) we can take control of this place, we want a huge Pittsburgh based dj to come in for the opening. E-Mail addresses are great |

| Roseline Canright 27.11.2011 | Only you know the answers... How am I supposed to know how much this "warehouse" would cost. how big is it? location? will you serve alcohol? security? permits? going rate of djs in your area? how long will he play? how big is your demographic? how would you advertise? none of us mind helping but we aren't getting paid to do all of the work. you have to help us before we can help you. |
