The license fee for each evening of activity at the club will be calculated as a license fee for one show, even if there are several shows/DJs during the evening, taking into account the parameters applied to the show tariff, such as – the number of participants in the evening, the percentage of protected material, the holding of the event with an open box office and/or a closed show, local/foreign artist.
