Re: The Who Mailing List Digest V9 #152
if she's so upset with the industry, why don't she just quit? stick to her
stupid acting career or somethin. or better yet, like, READ the contract
before you sign it. stupid ol' drug addict whore. ; )
I think part of her complaint is the lack of leverage that artists have.
They're no way to get a better contract.
Here's an interesting post from alt.music.who that suggests artist may get
about a third of ticket prices. In most cases, I'd figure less, because The
Stones are considered to be very business-oriented, and you'd expect them to
cut a good deal.
I don't know how much of each ticket price actually goes to the Who, I can
only make a guess based on informed reports published about the Stones, who
get about a third of the ticket price and merchandising sales from their
tours. So when we complain about those steep ticket prices, let's keep in
mind that two-thrids of the money goes to companies like Clear Channel (and
everyone they pay, like arena owners etc.) and Ticketmaster.
