Red Panda Halftime Show Contract Details, Hotel Requirements Revealed for Iconic Performer

Contract details for one of the most iconic halftime performers in NBA history became public information on Thursday.

After obtaining the particulars via a Freedom of Information Act request, Extra Points' Matt Brown shared how much it costs to book unicyclist and acrobat Red Panda to perform at halftime of a sporting event:

Red Panda's booking fee is $6,765, as well as a room at a hotel that is rated four stars or better.

While the hotel room is a separate expense, Red Panda's travel is included in the booking price.

Hailing for China, Red Panda is renowned for her unique act, which sees her balance several bowls on her head and feet while riding a unicycle.

Red Panda appeared on both America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent, but she is best known for performing at halftime of sporting events, particularly during NBA, WNBA and college basketball games.

Although her performances are usually flawless, Red Panda broke her wrist after falling from her unicycle at the WNBA Commissioner's Cup final between the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx in July 2025.

However, she returned less than four months later, performing at an Amazon Prime event in October 2025 and at halftime of a game between the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers a couple of weeks later.
