exactly. thats on top of the six figures you're going to have to pay him, and the other six figures you're going to need to setup a venue that he would actually perform at.

jay is paid, its gonna take more than money to get him to come rock a show.

Acts like Jay Z don't always need stadiums and big halls to perform. Over here in Greece he performed in a club in front of 3.500 people and he got paid under 6 figures.

All you got to do is contact his manager and let him know of your plan. But first, do contact a couple of available venues and see how much they're asking.

A spot that I Dj @ sometimes http://www.therocketnightclub.com/events.php Book quite a few acts from time to time.

You definately want to start out small, Jay-Z is as big as they come, You are definately jumping the gun, especially having not done it before. Also with any artist check there schedule and catch them enroute to or around your city and book them on a night that they have open. By doing that you can save thousands! Good luck. If you are ever seriously interested in doing something in the MICHIGAN area let me kow! But also be careful I've seen people lose THOUSANDS of dollars by not knowing what they are doing.
