Seriously, I remember when some Stevie Nicks fans passed the hat around to try to raise money to have her play a "private party" for them a few years ago. Their method was to ask fans to contribute $100 in exchange for admittance to the "party." The only problem is that a real private party doesn't charge admission! Once her management found out about how the money was being raised, they nipped it in the bud because that made it a "ticketed event" which was not the same as a "private party" and therefore the rules were different. It actually turned into a big fiasco as the guy had already taken money from some fans since you have to make a downpayment just to show you're serious, and he was slow in returning it! (Eventually he did return it all.)
In other words, you have to be an individual who's rich enough to pay for it without soliciting "contributions," a corporation, or a charity in order to get the guys. I think I heard some corporation paid them $1 million a few years ago. They might be more expensive now.
