I live in Atlantic Canada and our venue holds 10,000 ppl....performers like JT and CA etc....never come here...the closest city is Montreal or Toronto that they will perform at...their venues seat over 20,000....It is a real sore point with me that they never come here.....

Do people really pay to subject themselves to that kind of torture? You poor sad fools...
I'd be willing to shell out some serious cash to ensure those two and their ilk (anyone who is known by their initials sucks) nevercome within 100 miles of my county. Now if they started to market themselves on those grounds, they sure would make a lot more, and it would be an honest living rather than posing as musicians.

It depends on a lot of things. Their contract with their record company, the place, bodyguards, how many people they have in a ontarage( I know i spelled that wrong) and what they have to pay them, Who much of an precentage the record company wants out of it, how much of a percentage the venue gets. Its usually a lot because after everybody gets their cut the artist is still left with a pretty hefty sum of a pay check. I know it depends on the demand of the artist and how popular the artist is too. I would say usually somewhere in the millions per city. My brother owns a club and just to dish out for an apperence there is a lot of money so i know the concerts are very expensive.

The musicians don't get paid that much for putting on the concert i don't think -they get something like 10% of ticket sales, i guess most of the rest goes to the record label?
Apparently most of the money the actual entertainer does get from performing concerts is from merchandise sales at the gig.

They do not get paid the same amount. It depends on what there manager arrainges for them. If they are on tour and they are getting 100,000.00 for a gig in one city and they have 5 days to get to the next state they may pull something inbetween for 60 grand. It depend on who the singer is and what they are willing to do, and what there manager has booked.
I have considered asking Rascal Flats for a favor because we are close to one of the band members. But doesn't mean they will want to do it just because one of the band members is a friend.

They'd probably charge something like 80,000- 100,000 per show. How much of that do they actually get is negligible. At least thats how it works with college bookings. Although they arent listed on that site, check out my source.

It depends on how well the concet goes, how many people come see it and how well their album is doing. With their success it has been known for them to get hundreds of thousands for just one!
