iluvgeddy05 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 According to the Syracuse Post Standard: http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/201...e_most_exp.html Actually, the article is about Aerosmith being paid $1million to play the fair but they list the other big acts. Take it as you will. Personally, I feel they earn every penny but I know there are plenty others who think otherwise. Not sure the dynamics of this "paycheck" and what they get from tickemaster, etc. No clue at all how it's broken up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 These guys get paid for the revenue they bring in.Aerosmith has a much larger fan base than Rush so that's why they get double. They'll make more for the fair. Now, I'd be REALLY pissed is Justin freakin's Beiber got more than Rush! That's an interesting read....thanks for posting.

BrightAntennae Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Aerosmith sucked after Night in the Ruts. Although previous to that album was Draw the Line...and that was a piece of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 That's considerably less than I'd have thought, especially once you factor in what the entire production has to be costing them. They earn it. It doesn't bother me in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they're taxed out the wazoo too - don't forget, all 3 of them are paying Canadian and US tax on the income. (Not 100% sure about Neil, since he's a full-time resident here pretty much).

bscsmkr Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think the $450,000 that Rush is receiving is just their guarantee. They will also receive a percentage of the gross ticket sales and their merchandise. This is usually how these types of situations work out. Rush could end up with one hell of a payday for this one show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think RUSH is going to do there typical 3 hour show @ the State Fair Gig..... Just cause Aerosmith can & get 1m for similar show doesn't mean they are doing anything right, just means they have kissed tons of ass to get universaly popular, they learned this trick during the late 80's & mtv era. ??? How much are tickets for this show ??? ??? Here @ the state fair it's $ 12 .00 dollars & you get GA into the venue They have about 1/3 reserved for like 20.00 extra But RUSH isn't playing the Fair here . . . . .

The problem is the mentality of this country has become that Capitalism is Evil.....and how DARE Aerosmith make this much money (or Rush) and us poor working class stiffs are the victims of these evil capitalists having to fork out hundreds of dollars for the tickets It's just a different mindset in 2010 America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
