Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | 1. I think the major touring acts are paid by the tour rather than by the show. There's just too many moving parts involved to pay by the show, although I'm sure they get some "expense" money if they need it, but most everything is paid for... they spend all day doing interviews, do the gig... party a bit... sleep a little... wash - rinse - repeat until the tour is done.
2. I found a source that seems pretty reliable as I have seen similar numbers for the same artists in several places.
Top Ten
By my math... $100 million over 100 shows.. is one million per show. |
