How much does music for an event cost?

| up to 100 | 30,40 EUR |
| up to 500 | 99,00 EUR |

Prices apply to a one-day event with background music and free admission. Additional factors may affect final pricing.
These factors determine pricing
1) Audience size
The larger the event, the higher the license fee.
2) Duration
Single date, multi-day event, or series.
3) Admission
Paid-admission events require a surcharge.
4) Music scope
More tracks or longer playtime can add cost.
Single date, multi-day event, or series
Single Event
For one-time events.
Multi-Day
For events across multiple days, e.g. trade shows, festivals, exhibitions.
Series
For recurring event formats.
Longer or recurring usage increases license scope and pricing.
How much music is included?
Each event package includes enough music for typical events. Very extensive playlists may lead to a moderate surcharge.
- Additional tracks possible
- Additional playtime possible
- Clear self-service limits
Paid-admission events
Events with tickets or paid admission include a surcharge because usage is commercial.
Custom quotes for large events
A quote is required for more than 10,000 attendees, very long durations, unusually large music scope, or special usage scenarios.
Royalty-free usage or PRO catalog
By default, we offer royalty-free music usable without additional collecting-society filing. Optionally, you can use our PRO catalog if you already have a PRO/GEMA setup and handle reporting yourself.
| GEMA-frei | PRO-Katalog |
|---|---|
| no additional filing required | filing by organizer |
| fixed package pricing | individual conditions possible |
| self-service ready | for existing license holders |
| ideal for many events | extended music selection |
When using the PRO catalog, the organizer remains responsible for required collecting-society reporting.
Price comparison with GEMA tariffs
Our package pricing is often below comparable tariffs for public music usage.
This comparison is indicative only and does not constitute a binding tariff promise.
