It looks like It Is doing pretty good. I would guess that they will most likely average somewhere between 40-50,000 per show when all Is said and done which Is excellent IMO. I agree. I remember reading that as long as they gross over $5 mil per show, the band even gets into overage pay. (Other than the 3 mil per show they're already guaranteed.) So 40k to 50k per show should easily get them there. Looks to be a very successful tour thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be an established spot to meet by then. It looks like I'll have the opportunity to make someone's day tomorrow. I haven't sold my extra tickets and I'm not going to let them go to waste, so someone is going to get free tickets at the front of Section H unless a miracle happens in the next 24 hours. wait...why would you buy an extra ticket in the first place?

I don't think it works that way... 3 mil is guaranteed 'pure' money despite how it sells...it is on promoter. Given that Guns earned roughly 6mil from 30 000 in Vegas, let's say roughly 60k in KC which is 12mil - if you take into consideration stadium ticket average price - let's say roughly 10mil.. Take out 3mil for Guns - we are left at 7mil, minus 1mil for booking a stadium, supporting act, electricity, construction workers, logistics (I don't know how much taht mounts to)... so at best Guns get a 2-3mil overage pay, which is great...

That Is excellent for the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Billboard a while back, G N' R were supposedly guaranteed $3 mil per show. Production costs were around $1.6 mil, the promoter would take in around $400k. So once they Grossed over $5 mil -ish they would get "overage" which is a % of the profits over the "break even" point. Plus money from merchandise sales, which they would receive the lion's share of...anywhere from $250k and up per show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner55 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 That parking fee is ludicrous. I feel raped spending 10 bucks at the local arena, find a 5 dollar lot and walk 10-15 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think the money being made is slightly exaggerated but still doing great! I imagine the advertisement cost will take a chunk of the money earned, so most overage will go to that. However I can't even imagine how much they've made on merchandise sales...those trailers are packed and at $40 a shirt...there's plenty of money going around, but I still think it's slightly less than we anticipate due to hidden cost we haven't calculated for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying GnR grosses $250k in merchandise or that;s the share? Those were just estimates provided by Billboard. They most likely won't gross anywhere near $10 million per show as at least half the tickets are under $150.00, so not sure where you are getting that $10 million number from. lol. And according to Billboard, all they need to do is gross $5 million ish per show....that would be their "break even point". And yeah, they would get a % of profits over that amount....they wouldn't get it all. A % would go to the promoters, venue, etc. or whatever else they agreed to. As far as merchandising goes, "Lion's share" means most. They still have to cover costs of the merchandise, paying people, etc...so obviously they wouldn't get 100% of the gross of merchandise sales.

Average Vegas ticket prices were higher than the average stadium tour prices, by a decent amount. Plus the VIP packages in Vegas seemed to just about sell out as well...I don't think the VIP packages have done as well on the stadium tour....but that's just a guess. Anyway, long story short, it looks like they will do great on this tour....probably make anywhere between $4 to $5 mil per show....which in 2016, in the U.S., is probably more than any other music group is making on tour.

Stizzy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hi Gunners, how early would you recommend turning up if you have GA pit tickets (not VIP) and want a spot right in front? Gates open at 6:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
