wow that number is per city? thats crazy!

Can't believe Bon jovi is above Coldplay...

Can't believe Bon jovi is above Coldplay...

 

tickets for Bon Jovi are more expensive in average ;)

Then that's the reason

:shocked3: wow...

Fantastic, the boys are finally up at the top where they belong

wait ..almost a milion for EVERY show? :o

The boys are loaded :stunned:

wonder how much EMI takes :dozey:

i am suprised that u2 isnt on that list, but for all i know their tour might be over already

That list is the most horrible thing I've ever seen.

 

Why is it that when Coldpaly are on a list like that, tey're the only good artists on there?

 

And also, remember that ALOT of that goes towards rental expenses and the whole laundry list of other charges that have to be paid, then the precentage taken by crew and EMI. The band always gets paid last and split four ways it's probably no more than a few ten thousand a night. Of course, it's not like that's pennies, but it's not like the guys have a 1 million per night to split between them. :) And remember that 10% of everything goes towards charity as well.

Hey, Cirque De Soliel is pretty effing awesome too. :D

The Cirque du Soleil is AMAZING.

GO RICKY MARTIN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(who'd honestly pay 66 bucks to see him!? :stunned:)

Huh. Coldplay is the *only* band on that list that I would shell out that kinda dough to see. Or even care about seeing for that matter. Maybe Aerosmith. Maybe Bon Jovi. Probably not. Steven Tyler sounds awful live.

I hate Aerosmith with a passion.

 

 

 

I don't really know why, but I think it's because of their butchered "cover" of the Beatle's 'Come Together'. Ughhhh, I feel SICK when I listen to it!

HAHA take that ricky martin. LARRY THE CABLE GUY BEAT YOU. MUWAHAHA

I hate Aerosmith's way of singing. Ya know the... "I don't wanna miss a thaaaaang! Even when I close my eyeeeeeeeezzUH!"

 

Ya know... the thing that he does at the end of like... every line? It's so annoying!

Yeah, the only Aerosmith song I really like is Sweet Emotion. :/ Their new stuff is complete crap. Ugh.

Juanes!!!!!!????????haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa??????!
