A photographer doing this job would be constantly moving, rarely sitting or resting, would have to be watching the action, shooting in low light, shooting people moving in low light, and shooting people who aren't necessarily going to stay still while he gets his shots.
I wouldn't be handing over unprocessed images either, so there'd be time involved in that.
I have charged four figures for two hours of my time, and the right to use the images in any way the client wants for the promotion/marketing of the business.
