In 2008, the greatest group of all time....THE Dave Matthews Band had an average ticket price of $140 a TICKET.......really?????? REALLY!!!! What happened to the days when I could go see a concert for $15/ticket. Try gettin the average family of 5 into a DMB concert without breaking the bank. Good luck there. In 2009 DMB sold $60 MILLION worth of concert tickets.....and from 2000-2009 they sold $529 MILLION. HALF A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH of concert tickets. SERIOUSLY DAVE....you NEED that much money. You had to sell tickets for an outrageous price. You greedy bastard.
I guarantee you, Dave's personal gross after the band, the roadies, the stadium rentals, the cost of travel, the stage and lights --- it ain't anywhere near 30m per year, and it sure is hell isn't guaranteed to him for 10 years.
But backing up further, that part about the greatest band of all time . . .
That has gotta be the gayest band going. I thought he only appealed to muffy and buffy sorority chicks who like to smoke marijuana but not inhale it.
Guarantee in cafe sports land? bwaaaaaaaaa!! I wanna see some details on that one!
If big Dave ain't gettin 30 points of the tour when it's all said and done he oughta fire somebody. And besides, that's touring only....throw in his music sales and see where he lands.
So there you have it.....raking in gazzilions and no where near the top of his industry. Hell....if he were a base ball player he'd be battin a buck fifty. bwaaaaaaaa
