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.
