Not sure tbh, but having seen/heard some of the wages past Jovi support acts (and it's not limited to just them) have earned I'd be willing to bet it's a criminally low amount - £1000 a gig would be an eductaed guess.

2K capacity venues are a fantastic earner for headliners due to the massively reduced production costs/venue hire etc. Arenas cost a fortune to hire, and stadiums even worse. Obviously if you are gauranteed to sell them out it's worth it, but if you are not sure then City Hall or O2 Academy sized venues are a much better prospect. Sadly the last two times I saw Manics at Leeds Arena they were nowhere near full - probably why we saw a small scale tour this time around.
