Some earnings may show up in Pollstar or the UK equivalent.

For arena shows, it can be anywhere in the $500,000 plus range - most seem to level out around $700,000 to well over $1 million per show. That would be gross and not net.

I read this as ear rings. But I guess from a gig these days they'd pocked a nice sum each after the venue and crew have all being paid.

for Reading in 92, they got £20,000 each, for Glasto in 07 they got just over £100,000 each!

Lucky Sods, Young Knives only got £7,000 each in 08!

But are those costs split between management and labels, the arena, etc., other musicians, as well as the 3 band members themselves?

and The Who got $250,000 for a one hour set at Woodstock in 1969, a fee they wisely insisted on up front before playing.

inflation hasn't hit rock an roll, then?
