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!

In 1998 ish I remember reading something saying they were worth 4 million each, and Liam Gallagher was on the same list and he was worth about 87 million or something!

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