An example fee to book The Criticals is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. 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.

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.

There is low probability to book The Criticals for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Criticals agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Criticals, 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 The Criticals 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.
