Valery Leontyev has reduced the price of his New Year corporate performances by 20 percent in response to soft demand for his shows. A Telegram channel reported this move, noting the shift in pricing is aimed at drawing in more corporate buyers during the holiday season.
According to the same channel, Leontyev is now asking for 120 thousand dollars for a concert instead of 150 thousand. There is potential room for negotiation toward 100 thousand if conditions are favorable. The artist’s appearance fees remain fully complimentary in terms of meeting arrangements, while the transportation to events has not changed, a detail likely intended to broaden appeal to prospective clients.
The rider still requires a 50 percent advance for the concert and includes a personal Mercedes-Benz to shuttle from the hotel to the venue. Additionally, security personnel are requested at the hotel, and the hotel room should be kept darkened with black coverings. The channel outlines a rider that includes several bottles of Macallan whiskey, a selection of cold cuts, and a daily allowance of $300 for the artist.
