Chris 55 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Most of that money will go towards covering the crew and other related costs. Even when GNR were at the height of their popularity in the early 90s, they found it difficult to make a profit, which is why they toured for almost three years. These shows are a lot more expensive to put on than people think..where'd you get that info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God of Thunder Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 It really depends on how that amount is split. The tour is bloody expensive for them, just considering the distance between the venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syhead Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Concert revenue:let's say 100,000 people for 5 concerts in BrazilUS$150 per ticket (average)US$15,000,000plus all the revenue obtained with sponsors at the arenas, which usually is more than the tickets...I would actually think that they should be making MORe money than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 As stated before, to say that they are 'profiting' is very misleading. The costs associated with putting shows like these on in this day and age are amazing.R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The costs associated with putting shows like these on in this day and age are amazing.R.These days major touring acts get a guaranteed payday. It's not like the old days where you had to cover expenses before you started to make money. The cost of the show is figured into the equation and GNR gets a guaranteed payday regardless of whether costs are recouped, and costs don't come out of their guarantee. It's like that for all big bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun-Z Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 they are fuckin huge... also a lot of people dont know its not the original line up but they only go for Axl anyway.... i have several groups of friends down in Ecuador, where they say this concert is gonna be huge! and its selling fast! i believe it!!! south american fans are more appreciative and fanatic! they dont have big bands like this touring every 2-3 yrs , so they go nuts when this guys go! Go South Americaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is none of us know what their actual profit is.Yes, you are right ...Think about the lot of things we should know to calculate their profit: rental cost of equipment, rental cost of the venue, cost of accomodation, transport of the equipment, flights ... all these is rested to the fixed money they receive ... so, at least you are their manager it´s impossible to know...
