Booking Agencies:

The role of a booking agent is to negotiate deals between the purchaser and the artist. The purchaser is the person who wants to book a celebrity or music artist to host a show or party. The artist is the public figure. The booking agent contacts the manager of the artist or celebrity that the purchaser is interested in booking and gets a price. This price may or may not include the travel and lodging accomadations. When a deal is negotiated between the booking agent and the manager of the artist or celebrity and the travel and lodging accomadations are included it is known to be called an all-in deal. Now there is a deal known as a travel buyout. This is when the purchaser agrees to pay a set amount for the travel and lodging accomadations and the artist has to book their own flights and make arrangements for lodging. In most cases to get a better rate on a public figure, celebrity, or artist the purchaser will pay for travel and lodging.

After the booking agent has negotiated a price that the purchaser will then sign a contract that the booking agent has drawn, and a contract that the artist or public figure has drawn. A booking agent makes about 10% of the earnings that the artist has made.
