    and a couple more details..
    europe 2009 tour was announced on saturday  and not only that..they put the ticket on sale up with the announcement..and i went buy the 4 shows tickets of it(london sb show was announce later).
    and was so easy,...cos if u remember back then,,when ticket went on sale here was a clusterfuck and site crash.during sales .but that one was bam,,.i actulally was in facebook mesenger for an hour with friend talking which shows to go,and if want to choose seated or ga,who has low 10c number..cos noone knew was up for sale,..,was funny..
    what is shitty in business is how opening bands treated from promoters...it sucks seriously...
    and a third thing cos i mention it in the comment before..
    lets do a poll,..how much money u guys think goes to the band from a show shirt when they sell a 35 $ shirt at teh venue..?
    its crazy whats going on...its pure business and all parties of a show wants to drink blood..in the name of the band is playing.

    $35 shirt sold at the venue I’ll say the band gets $7. Close?

    I’ll guess! $35 dollar shirt, $3 goes to the band.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    In 2014 we tried to fly there from Boston. Connection in Chicago got cancelled, so we rented a car and drove the rest of the way. Was so worth it to hear Footsteps live for the first time...but that was a loooong day.

    lets do a poll,..how much money u guys think goes to the band from a show shirt when they sell a 35 $ shirt at teh venue..?
    its crazy whats going on...its pure business and all parties of a show wants to drink blood..in the name of the band is playing.
    My guess is less than $8
    i think the number must be 5-8 dollars  tops
    cos,,a shirt lets say needs 3-4 dollars to be made,,now add the profit of the merch company..maybe need to pay the artist who made the shirt, seperetaly ..the workers need to be paid the day of the show..and  then there is the cut of the promoter,the cut of the venue allows u to sell those in their venue,of to all that,,add the taxes.
    so the band who their name is on the shirt...they playing the show  get less than 20% of the shirt..

    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    Most venues take 60 % of merch sales. And thats industry standard.

    Thanks Dimi, St. Louis to Nashville or vice versa would be logical and two new cities for me.
    Things were different then
