appearance fee
Payment for attending
An appearance fee is money paid to someone simply for showing up—typically a celebrity, athlete, or public figure whose presence draws attention or adds prestige to an event.
The fee compensates for their time and the promotional value of their attendance, separate from any performance or speech they might give: The former president commanded a six-figure appearance fee.
