First I would thanks George and his article to talk about what we interested,here is it:

A pretty typical rider for a not yet well known country artists for a free outdoor radio station event that draws about 12,000 folks, the radio station budgets about 15,000$ for production , it is my job to negotiate with the artists production manager all the NON NEGOTIABLE points to fit what I can provide and then rent in what I need to rent prior to my final quote to the radio station
if I meet this spec  word for word I would be looking at around a $60,000n cost of production
I will get us in at very “around ” 20,000
