The Truth Behind Venue Event WiFi Pricing
Event WiFi is one of the most overlooked (and overpriced) line items in your show budget. Most planners accept the venue’s default package, then end up with poor connectivity and a five-figure invoice.
So why is event WiFi so expensive, and what can you do to avoid getting burned?
Venue internet packages are rarely designed with high-performance events in mind. They’re built for hotel guests and conferences with minimal tech requirements. That’s where the problems begin.
Here’s why venue-provided event WiFi often leads to high costs and disappointing performance:
- Massive markups: You’re paying thousands for bandwidth that costs the venue very little.
- Inflexible infrastructure: Shared networks are stretched across hundreds of users without segmentation for production, presenters, or attendees.
- Hidden fees: Need static IPs, VLANs, or hardline drops? Expect to pay extra for each one.
- No visibility: You won’t know what you’re actually getting, or whether it’ll hold up until it fails.
And when your internet fails, your livestream, presentations, or attendee experience go with it.

Stop Letting WiFi Be the Weakest Link
Venue WiFi shouldn’t be a gamble, and it definitely shouldn’t break your budget. When the stakes are high, you need internet that’s engineered for your show, not for someone checking email in the lobby.
