How to set the price of a gig

Find the right fee without underselling yourself.

Setting a fair fee is one of the hardest decisions for musicians.
Too low → you lose credibility.
Too high → you get fewer bookings.

Here’s a simple, realistic method — and how BandCopilot helps you justify your price professionally.

🎯 1. Evaluate your level and your context

Your fee depends on:

• your live experience
• your lineup (solo / duo / full band)
• the equipment you bring
• travel distance
• set duration

📊 2. Use a fee range, not a fixed price

More professional, less risky:

👉 €250–€450 depending on set length, format, and travel.

🎟️ 3. Research local rates

Check rates from:

• bands at your level
• similar styles
• projects in your area

🧾 4. Prepare a clean justification

A booker accepts a price more easily when the value is clear:

• preparation
• rehearsals
• technical needs
• travel
• group expenses

👉 BandCopilot reinforces your legitimacy

A clean presskit + clear identity + real live video = credible project → credible price.

🚀 Conclusion

Setting your price is about balancing perceived value and real effort.

With BandCopilot, your professional presskit instantly increases the legitimacy of your fee.
