I am curious, how is money made off of a tour.
I mean, does "Morrissey" pay the venue a flat fee for the use of the facility, and then earns off of the ticket sales, or does the facility get paid by how many tickets are sold?
I was wondering because of the main page reviews of the Waukegan show where people say it was maybe half full and that there was little to no promotion/advertising it.
Isn't it in the best interest of both Morrissey and the venue to promote the show? Or is more money generated in shirt sales? And even if that is the case, a half empty venue will sell half as many shirts as a full venue, so promotion should still be desirable.
Is there any public record anywhere of how much money a Moz tour generates?
We always hear news that the Rolling Stones make $millions or have record breaking earnings for their tours. Is this because they have big name products promoting their tour? Are they paid a flat fee for touring and the "product" company makes the real money?
I'd like to know the business end of it.
