I believe it'll definitely be on the high side, I mean, how many drummers do you think there are in SG? (Maybe by going for this, we can find out.. haha) I can't imagine how much bringing in all the drummers (and their respective bandmates if they're invited) will cost man.
Appearance fee, accommodation, airfare... maybe if they can get gear sponsorship from yamaha + sweelee they can defray some of the cost. But there are no sponsor logos on the poster so far.
Look, when yamaha brought in Steve Smith, the tickets were $50 each.
I also remember going for an Eric Johnson gig (I managed to get a free ticket), the hall at UCC was less than half full. The organizer must have made a huge loss that night.
Tough job, if they price attractively/low, they'll definitely make a loss as I doubt there's enough critical mass when it comes to drummers. If they price to cover their expenses (which I believe isn't a small sum), less people will come.
Unless... they come up with regional packages too, to target people from the SEA region...
In case anyone wonders why I sound so incredulous, is because I don't want to get geared up for this event, then realise it's either not going to happen, or priced beyond my means
