Appendix 1
Budgets of other schools: really big schools (e.g. Ohio State) have $5mill=
ion budget. They put on many events throughout the year, all/most of which=
are free to students. Smaller schools (e.g. Northeastern) put on fewer ev=
ents, but still have a larger budget (probably around the order of 200-300k=
)
Example Budget Breakdown: Every year, we will have to spend ~35k on produc=
tion cost and up to 10k for the agent fee. That leaves us <100k for the ar=
tists. Most schools will spend 100k on their headliner. Some examples of =
artists that cost quite a bit more than 100k (in October) are:
Passion Pit, Jason Mraz, Calvin Harris (250k), Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar,=
Arctic Monkeys, Diplo, Ke$ha, Krewella, MGMT (175k), Childish Gambino
What we could do with more money:
a) Get bigger and better artists
b) Get more artists (and do concerts throughout the weekend)
c) Make concert tickets cheaper/free
d) Subsidize student groups holding events during SpringFest
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Matthew Davis
