Extra charge for holidays?

Post by Tammie on Fri Jan 27, 2012 11:26 pm

Hey everyone, just wondering if you charge extra during holiday periods or do you stay with the same rate all year round? Thanks! Like a Star @ heaven

Are your operating costs higher over the holiday periods?

My rates are my rates, because a gig is a gig.

My rate is my rate. However, for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve if someone wanted to book me it would be for a higher rate to compensate me for missing family time.

If they want FX makeup for Halloween we charge extra. Liquid latex and the different kinds of blood aren't cheap.

I don't charge extra for the gig, however, my mini-parties and my 'discount party package' isn't available during weekends during December or during certain times of the year.

Thanks guys, have to agree with all of you! I don't charge extra for holidays either, but have had quite a few people ask me if I do and I thought I would post the question here to see what thoughts the rest of you have! I did a New Years Eve gig end of last year but didn't charge extra. However, they tipped me very nicely for the work I did. It was really nice they appreciated that I could have been home with family and was with them instead.
