    ...I've been a pro musician for half my life and I can tell
    you that the record companies and publishing companies get
    most of your royalties. The artists get very little. That's
    why so many big bands still tour. It's their only way to
    make any money.

    I had the impression that most tours are NOT profit makers.
    There are lighting, multimedia, staging, insurance, roadie
    costs.. etc.

    Ticket systems are another joke/ripoff. They allow large groups
    of tickets to be sold and then those same tickets get scalped
    to desparate fans. The performer doesn't get the benefit of
    the increased prices.
