HOW DOES PRICING WORK?

McGee offers a number of different packages to suit your event

Your package will be the same cost as advertised - McGee will offer you an accurate quote based on your artist and desired line up

TRAVEL COSTS

In addition to your package, the following travel costs are associated with booking an artist to Hamilton Island, Hayman Island, Daydream Island, Airlie Beach or Cairns

  • Return economy flights via Virgin Australia or Qantas, ex Brisbane

    Flights tend to be rather reasonable either Proserpine Airport or Hamilton Island Airport - subject to flight schedules, your artist may need to travel the day before

    Price guide: $200 - $350 one way, per performer

  • Comfortable accommodation is required for your artist, and if possible, the room rate to include breakfast

    Price guide: $150 - $300 per room, per night, twin share

  • Your artist is able to travel on Virgin Australia or Qantas with their instruments via their APRA membership, however, they are unable to travel with speakers, amps, stands etc. The reason for this is the equipment is heavy, large and likely to be damaged during flights, therefore, the best solution is to hire a PA and necessary equipment via a local provider. McGee is more than happy to arrange this for you. Where possible, we will obtain two quotes and we will select the best and most cost effective solution

    Price guide: This can vary from $250 - $2,000 subject to size of band, number of guests

  • When an event on either Hamilton Island, Hayman Island or Daydream Island, transfers tend to be included with accommodation, however, outside of these locations, transfers costs may be applicable

    Price guide: $25 - $100 per transfer, subject to group size

  • There is a standard travel fee to cover the artists travel time and incidentals, such as, airport parking, meals, transit time

    Price guide: This fee will range from $150 - $250 subject to the time connected to your event

Once you’ve chosen your desired artist or band, McGee will provide you a full quote including travel costs at the time of your enquiry
