The final Sekou Andrews booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Sekou Andrews charge for an event. An example fee to book Sekou Andrews is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Sekou Andrews agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time.

There is low probability to book Sekou Andrews for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Sekou Andrews agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Sekou Andrews, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Sekou Andrews booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown.
