Macau outdoor performance venue daily rent up to $62,380

The price list for the Macau outdoor performance venue has been approved by the government and was made public on Tuesday.

According to the dispatch, the fees will be based on the scale of the event, with a maximum charge of MOP500,000 ($62,380) per day. During the trial operation period next year, a 25 percent discount will be applied.

The venue cost MOP 84 million ($10.5 million) to build. Fees for the outdoor performance area are calculated based on the maximum number of attendees per performance, with different rates depending on audience size.

For events with fewer than 30,000 attendees, the fee for the performance day is MOP350,000 ($43,667), and MOP175,000 ($21,834) for rehearsal or setup days. For events with more than 30,000 attendees, the fee for the performance day is MOP500,000 ($62,380), and MOP250,000 ($31,190) for rehearsal or setup days.

The outdoor performance venue, located in Cotai, officially opened last Saturday, with its first concert scheduled for December 28. For residents, concert tickets will be available at a discounted price of just MOP 50 ($6.30).

The government-organized concert will coincide with two other events hosted by gaming operators. One will be a fan meeting with Korean singer and actor Lee Joon Gi at Studio City, while the other will feature Hong Kong pop star MC Cheung Tinfu, who will perform at least four shows over two weekends at The Londoner Arena.

The Venetian Arena, after months of refurbishment, has just reopened and hosted its first event, the NBA Legends Celebrity Game, last Saturday.

The head of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Leong Wai Man, has revealed that some international event organizers have shown interest in the outdoor performance venue. In the future, the government will also open a call for performance proposals, using criteria such as the reputation and international influence of the performers, cultural tourism benefits, and the potential impact on local development to select events for the outdoor performance area.

Meanwhile, Galaxy Entertainment‘s Senior Vice President of Entertainment Services, Jeffrey Jiang, expressed his optimism about developing the city as the “City of Performances.” He indicated that concerts could help boost the local economy and believes Macau is now ready to host larger international concerts featuring superstars.
