I would SERIOUSLY talk to John direct before contacting his sponsors.
I'm sure the last thing anyone wants is for his sponsor to hassel John over something he might not want to do.
That's not to say he wouldn't be interested, i'm not a mind reader, but at least approach John first before anyone else.
You can mention that you too are sponsored by Sonar, and you think it might be good to get them on board.

So that's 250 X &10 = £2500.
And that two and a half grand has got to pay John's expenses (flight, additional travel, hotel, food.As well as leaving a small profit in his pocket.Hey, a guy's gotta eat) and you need a buffet to feed 250 people + to pay for the band who's going to play.
I don't know how much it would take to get John on board, but it looks like the money could be being spread a little thin.

Would I attend?
I'm not sure to be honest.
I'd have to look at the logistics of the whole thing.
No, i'm not a drummer, but I do think it would be cool to see John give an exhibition.
Perhaps it will bore the crap out of me, and the only people who would really enjoy this are the real drum heads (pun intended) but i'd be willing to give it a shot
I don't know how many other non drumming Meat fans would turn up, but I imagine i'm not the only one who would be interested.
And there are plenty of drummers who would be glad to be able to have a demo from Meat Loaf's drummer, so you might well be onto something.
