What’s with the shade about the streaming? I can’t remember when they finally started streaming last year, but it definitely wasn’t a full year. |

these numbers are just united states i think, last year lepps would have added many pennies from uk and elsewhere. keeps the pool warm!

looking at the methodology it says bands get roughly 34％ of the gross ticket sales. as lepps toured with journey would this be 17％, as both bands made 15.9 million. curiously bands get 60％ for residencies.
one significant omission is merchandise sales, across last years tour would think lepps would have done say 8 million dollars gross, given attendance was 1 million.
have started reading a book called rockonomics which explains how money is made in the music industry, mssrs mensch and burnstein feature heavily. hopefully many questions answered.

just read in rockonomics that for a typical ＄40 tshirt at a gig the artist gets ＄16.65, rest split sales taxes, venue, metch company. crudely that suggests about 40％ of metchandise sales goes to the artist. u2 apparently sells about ＄16 per fan at a show, ＄4 elton john. assuming lepps sales are closer per fan to u2, take an average attendance in north america of 12,000 per show, that adds up to a healthy amount through a tour. those who buy merch often buy multiple tshirts and other stuff.
