How Much Should I Charge?

The amount you should charge as a Hitmix Bingo host depends on several factors — including your location, audience, venue type, and the experience you deliver.


💰 General Pricing Guidance

A Hitmix Bingo event typically sits in the same price range as a quiz or trivia night.

Just remember — if you’re charging similar rates, make sure your setup matches that level.

There’s no point charging pub quiz prices if you’re turning up with a nightclub’s worth of sound and lighting!


🍻 Pubs & Bars (Public Events)

These are usually regular bookings, and venues often prefer cost-effective packages that reflect an ongoing partnership.

While the rate might be slightly lower than private events, they offer:

  • Consistent income
  • 📣 Exposure for your brand
  • 🔁 Opportunities for repeat bookings

🎉 Private Parties & Corporate Events

These are typically one-off bookings that give you more flexibility to charge higher rates, especially if:

  • You’re creating custom or themed playlists
  • You need to set up early
  • The event runs for several hours
  • You’re providing additional entertainment features

💼 Typical Pricing Benchmarks

  • Private Parties: Often priced similarly to a DJ or MC gig.
  • Corporate Events: Generally offer larger budgets for entertainment.

🌟 Add More Value (and Justify Higher Fees)

You can easily enhance your offering — and your fee — by including premium features like:

  • 🎶 Themed Bingo Nights (e.g. 80s, ABBA, Movie Soundtracks)
  • 🎁 Prizes (either supplied by you or the venue — charge extra if you provide them)
  • 🎤 Karaoke or DJ add-ons between or after rounds
  • 🎥 Visuals on a projector or screen for extra impact

🚗 Other Considerations

When setting your pricing, don’t forget to factor in:

Consideration Tip
Travel Costs Add a small mileage or travel charge outside your usual area.
Repeat Bookings Offer discounts for regular events (e.g. monthly or weekly gigs).
Equipment Provided Include your PA, screen, laptop, and lighting setup in your pricing.

💡 Tip:

Keep a record of what different venues and event types pay — over time you’ll build a clear picture of what works best for your market and experience level.
