Get back to me when he sells out a world tour where every stop has 10,000+ seats.
1. name one artist who has done that even big names like micheal jackson and the beatles played some smaller venues on their tours.

2. at the current rates taken by the studio and the tour managers/agents zoe keating make more money selling out 1750 seat art theater then she does on a 10k + stadium.

unless you are in the top 200 tours ASCAP just takes money from your pocket if you play a larger theater.


so just like the music selling examples

77k kickstarter campaign is the equivalent to an established artist selling

1.7 million in record sales.

do an apples to apples comparision (money in your pocket)
