I would suggest you to ask for more, defiantly. You should think like this, how much are you worth? You are spending hours and hours a week only practising your ability, you are probably one of the very few in your area who can do this and you know that the crowd is going to love it! I would say at least 300 - 400 USD for this, if your trip there doesn't take to long and so. Otherwise more. But also as Dan says, it depends on so many factors that it is impossible to give it an exact price.
All of that is true, but it also depends on how good you are, not on video, but in shows. You can't charge a top level price if you're not a top level act, you gotta have something to backup the price you're asking for. ;)
Have you heard of Billy W? It is not about freestyle skills, it is all about showmanship when it comes to lps. Sad but true
Yes, I have. Have you read my post?

It's not sad, it's just how things are. The point of you performing is to ENTERTAIN people, the sad part is that some people still don't get it after all these years and think if they do a NT combo, they just did a great LP...

BTW, despite what many think of Billy & Jeremy and their skills (or better yet, the lack of), they still have a better show than most football freestylers out there.

Then we have the same point

the problem i have is im nervous i will get the lp turned down if i seem like im asking too much, because they can be hard to get in the first place so normally i get about 70usd but its not much compared to what i hear other people getting -

how much should i ask for an lp (in US money since its pretty much the same as New Zealand Currency) at a halftime show at a pro football game in a 50,000seater stadium(which is unlikely to be sold out but still popular)

Just a halftime? thats it? if anything you should ask if you can do pre game shows, like an hour or an hour an half before game, to get more fans etc. if your doing that plus halftime, at a regular game ask for about 250+300 usd. if its just halftime try asking 150.
