Britney Spears' Dad Is One Bargain Basement Tour Director

Jamie Spears is going to court to get some serious money for directing Britney Spears ' Femme Fatale Tour that kicks off today in Sacramento, CA. But it turns out he'll be the best bargain in town.

TMZ has obtained legal documentss that Spears has filed with the judge in Britney's conservatorship case asking the judge to give him money for directing the tour and managing the logistics of the tour.

Jamie has not specified the amount of money he wants, and sources tell us it hasn't been calculated yet. Sources tell us the amount will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it's crazy cheap for what Jamie is doing.

To give you some perspective, five people managed the 2009 Circus Tour. Although the amount they made is blacked out in the legal documents, we were able to discern the amount is in the seven figures.

With Jamie on board for the Britney Spears / Nicki Minaj Femme Fatale Tour, three of the five positions will be eliminated. Thus, if Jamie gets a six figure salary for the upcoming eight-month world tour, everybody wins.

Whatever Jamie gets for the tour, it will be in addition to the $16,000 a month he's pulling in for serving as Britney's conservator.

Britney Spears' Dad Jamie Spears -- Bargain Basement ... - TMZ.com

Everything he has been doing has been spot on in saving his daughter from what could have been her fate-

so he's worth his weight in gold to her and her adorable boys as well as the others now having employment working/touring and recording with her

from the guys who operate the lighting- the bus drivers - the dancers - the ticket takers - the stadiums - the recording studio - the record label - the factory workers packaging the CD's and printing the t-shirts not evening mentioning the fans

the job is probably a huge logistical nightmare on top of him making sure his daughter is still moving forward in her growth as a mother/person- never mind as an artist

major respect for him putting his loves/job/interests on hold all this time for the love of his daughter and grandchildren

he wasn't one of these Michael Lohan hangers-on "living off my daughter" dads
