I love the fact that they're not on the top of the list.... a lot of artists tend to ask for ridiculously expensive concert tickets when they get big.. but not Coldplay :)

 

I don't know about that. I thought the prices on their last tour were ridiculous. $90 for tickets in the vast majority of the upper bowl is pretty expensive in my mind, and I think it was $65 for the few seats that were behind the stage or in the back of the arena. Not exactly what I call a bargain.

Madonna tickets were expensive! I think that's why she made the #1 list

so it means that if coldplay still does as i've read on some old thread (that i bumped some days ago):

8.16 million must has been donated to charity projects.

:)

By the way, this is revenue from only three sources:

 

1. Concert tickets

2. Album sales

3. Digital downloads

 

Remember:

 

1. This is gross revenue, not net profit.

2. There are other sources of revenue (ex. merchandise) that are not included.

And ridiculously expensive for what amounts to a pile of sh*t, for that matter!!:dozey:

These estimates are always wrong anyway.

 

The amount of times the boys have laughed at being listed in rich lists as having fortunes of 30 million or something...

Actually, figure in Phil who also gets an equal cut and it's down to a tiny 16 million per.

 

Then you consider that 40% of the world's population lives on less than $2 a day(thank you Oxfam for the factoid)...so any way you slice 80 million, I'd say the boys are doing just fine:D

 

Phil doesn't get an equal cut, does he?

I shouldn't think so, since he doesn't write or perform.

 

I'm sure they pay him handsomely though.

So $81,599,996 for the Magic Balls... that leaves $1 for you, $1 for you, $1 for you, and $1 for me...hahah! "Darn those frickin Magic Balls!"

go coldplay...enough said...

My $140 GA tickets beg to differ :P

I think the key issue in the ticket price debate is to look at things on a relative basis. Coldplay's tickets are undeniably(sp?) quite expensive. However, compared to what many (perhaps) most big acts of their popularity charge, they would have to be considered toward the low end of the fee scale. Really, I'm quite hard pressed to think of another "arena act" I've seen in the last several years whose top priced ticket came in at under $100 U.S. Still a lot of money, but not nearly as much as others (look at ehe averages in the arcticle for example) So... I guess what I'm trying to say is trhat Coldplay tickets are very expensive, as opposed to ridiculously expensive which to my mind are the ever increasing number of tours whose lowest price tickets are over $100 U.S. Hopefully Coldplay will never enter that group...

There needs to a greater range in Coldplay's ticket prices. I don't even have a problem with the top tickets being ridiculously expensive, however, it bothers me when 90% of the tickets are above $90.

Especially when you end up sitting next to to total a**holes!!:angry:

Perhaps it has to do with different venue configurations, but when the band played the United center in Chicago this year, the percentage of "cheap" tickets was higher than it seems to be for some of the other shows (though the united center does have more total seats than most arenas, and I'm only counting face value of tickets as opposed to what you actually pay after outside fees etc.) That said, I do agree that having a broader range of ticket prices is someting needed by most big live acts today (including Coldplay), whereby the "cheap" seats are actually somewhat cheap...
