Are they billed hourly or per gig etc.. Since I primarily do live Music venue's, I would like to have a reasonable idea of money before I start negotiating.
Thanks

I'm in Seattle. The IA Local 15 hourly rate for an A1 is about $25/hr. There's overtime after 8 hours (time and a half). You could check the going rate in your city or state.
