Does anyone know what a huge draw band would charge for a one night concert like the
Rolling Stones
Eric Clapton
Micheal Jackson (sorry)
The Who

Im sure it would be a flat rate and a take of the gate but what kind of figures are we talking about? Anyone know ?GWB

From the book "All you need to know about the music business" by Passman (thanks Temp for the referral), page 348:

"Major artists in arenas (meaning venues of 12,000 to 20,000) get guarantees in the range of $100,000 to $500,000 plus per night, sometimes as high as $1,000,000 or more"

"The useual split is 85/15 to 90/10, meaning the artist gets 85% to 90% of the net profits of the show, and the promoter gets 10% to 15%. Superstars push promoters even further (e.g.) 95/5), but that takes a lot of clout"

So, big superstars get 85% to 95% of the net profits, with a nightly minimum guarantee of $100k on up.
