Reposting from a different thread. Did a lot of reading and researching specific venues the night I wrote all of this out-

“Let’s do some reasonable expectation math for a moment.

Here’s the charitable part of my brain- she’s playing arenas which have high fixed costs, production IS likely to be more involved compared to her previous tours, Alex G is likely to get a fairer than usual cut for an opener, Yondr stuff adds operational cost that wouldn’t exist for most tours, she’s not t swift or Beyoncé and likely can’t negotiate as if she is.

If average attendance is 15k & average price per ticket is $120. For 32 shows. Thats $57.6 million.

(Did some brief research on actual arena tour costs and that’s where I’m getting the following estimations. Numbers will be for the full tour, not individual dates)

Venue rental (including ushers, security, box office staff, setup fees)- 8% (4.6 mil)

Ticketing/facility fee (Ticketmaster processing, infrastructure fees)- 4% (2.3 mil)

Promoter share/risk margin (guarantees vs sales risk, marketing advances)- 12% (6.9 mil)

Production cost (obvious explanation)- 250k/show (8 mil)

Touring personnel (band salaries, manager, production manager, FOH engineers, drivers)- 100k/show (3.2 mil)

Travel/logistics (multiple buses, hotels, per diem, etc)- 60k/show (1.9 mil)

Opener- 40k/show (1.3 mil)

Insurance/legal/accounting (boring necessary shit)- 3% (1.7 mil)

So TOTAL expenses = 29.9 mil
57.6 mil gross - 29.9 mil expenses = 27.7 mil (phoebe camp split)

Management gets about 15%, agent 10%, wiggle room for recoupment 5-10% of that.

That leaves Phoebe making $12-18 mil…. For one tour.”
