Best Answer

Music artists do not receive a general salary. There are several factors that determine how much an an artist makes:

  • album sales
  • tours (money from ticket sales)
  • merchandise (clothing line, perfume)
  • endorsements (showing others YOU use/eat/wear this)
  • additional work (modeling, appearances)
  • Royalties (songs in movies or Video Games)

it all depends it normally goes by number of tickets sold times the amount of the ticket and then the artist or band gets a percentage of that and then they get a percentage from all the merchandise sold at the event. The artist or band will get a percentage and then they will have to share their percentage around between the members of the band and all their crew that are on tour with them. They can earn anywhere from $200 000-$500 000 a night in gross revenue and then they will get a percentage of that. So lets say a band with 5 members could each earn around $20 000-$50 000 a night which isn't bad for around 2 hours of performing.

On average..$650,000.00/show...(10,000 seats at $65/seat)

Everything changes from there..

Big stage production or Little? 2 semi's worth of stuff...or 10...

10k to 50k in cost for crew and equip

Venue - How much is there cut? 3% or 13%..Varies by venue & star power/mgmt company.

I'd say 60/40 ...60% for the band..40% cost and expenses..
