    American Concert Tours Question...

    When an artist goes on tour, do they just get a flat amount for the tour?

    For example, they commit to a 30 city tour and get 10 million paid upfront or at the end? Or do they simply commit to the tour, and get a percentage of the nightky gross receipts for each venue?

    Just curious.

      Depends on what kind of contract they negotiated I'm sure...


      I would imagine it would depend on how each artist structured their deal---so there must be a dozen scenarios.

          Ah, true true.

          I went to see George Strait, Reba, Womack this weekend. It was like an $89 seat. So was just curious how the math breaks out on that kind of thing was all.

              A lot of variables involved...

              Is the band throwing the tour themselves, is a promoter throwing the tour and hiring the band as a lead or supporting act? Is the band doing the whole tour, or are they a pickup for certain locations, or markets.

              If it's an in-house tour (ie album promotion, farewell tour, etc.) the bands will typically get a cut from ticket sales after numbers are said and done. If they are hired by a promoter they will typically get a set fee per date. If they are hired in as local market support they are lucky to get a dime a good amount of the time.

                      They should tour for free to promote their pirated music.
