Jay-z gets more than that for COLLEGE SHOWS.
So yeah on a good night 500k doesn't sound so dumb on a good night, if you sell 15k tickets at 50 bucks a ticket that's 750k again give the 40% and you get 300k. Sell 10k at 100 bucks, a million bucks, 40% 400k.
nikka do the fukking maths, is it that hard?
It's not nuclear science, more like 2nd grade maths.
Do you think the people hosting/arranging the events are raping rappers for all their bread?.
Unlike a cd where you need to pay for all the promotion, features, samples, radio slots, personal, magazines, payola and all types of costs involved with launching a CD a tour is a lot simpler. And the expected costs (excluding the rappers fee) relative to the expected revenue is a lot smaller, if there is good information about how big crowd the artist attracts.
How many other college shows did jayz get 750k for?? Exactly these numbers are not what artist get for every show. Ticket prices has nothin to do what a artisit get because that's none of their business. You have no idea what the insurance costs or venue cost are so your math is useless.
