The final Bill Simmons 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 Bill Simmons charge for an event. An example fee to book Bill Simmons is in the starting range of $150,000-$299,000. 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.

By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Bill Simmons, 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 Bill Simmons 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. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Bill Simmons, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
