How much would it cost to put on a benefit concert?

I have a few details.

  • I am trying to put together a show at a venue in Austin, TX called Mohawks for charity.
  • The main artist charges $5,000 but may give a discount if the proceeds go to charity.
  • I know a few local artists who will play for free. I DON’T know how much booking at Mohawks would cost me. I have never done anything like this before. So, to anyone who has experience, how much would just the outside stage area at this venue run me? I don’t want to contact them because I don’t have anything finalised yet, as I do not really have a rough estimation of the cost. Does anyone have any ideas? And do venues like these ever discount if all proceeds go to charity? Thanks!

Answer #1

you need to figure that out….my highschool put one on in a local park and managed to get the stage and what not from city hall and we raised money to spend soooo it took alot of planning. sometimes if you talk to owners of places they may work something out with you so they benefit from it too. in a business world its win win.

Answer #2

and when i said you need to figure that out i meant how much they would charge to rent the place.
