For us fans, this meant transportation costs and lodging in addition to admission - lodging in LA is much more expensive than Vegas. He did not play those cities - he is, by the way, at the pinnacle of his career. This means that fans in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Baltimore, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Detroit, and on and on and on had to travel to see him. He did a similar amount in Chicago, Austin and NYC. Harry Styles just played 15 nights in LA. U2 will be playing 12 nights in Las Vegas. One of the silliest lines of discussion on this thread is the derision about this being a "Vegas residency"

For a show you all arent interested in seeing, and now they are a trio band which seems to offend some of you and aren’t at all interested in seeing live, wondering what about music and touring in 2023 is making your glass half full then. I respect what he has accomplished in his career and just dont understand the very angry posts about this in here. But if folks will pony up upwards of $500 to hear Bono do his “bono on broadway” show…for eight nights…he’s earned the right. They are also excited for this sphere event, they are gonna make it a vacation weekend and anchor the trip with this show…so I’ll see what they ended up paying. The Bono book reading shows at the Beacon in NYC were fetching $500 and more on Ticketmaster, but fan club members were getting tix for $200 via the presale links they were given, so I’m told as my friends are in the fan club. If their new cd set is phoning it in cover songs and if the last few albums disappoint? So what, most bands have released misfires and many have done “unplugged” and redo’s as well. No one is forced to spend money for this and if some of their longest and oldest fans cannot afford the cost it would take to hit Vegas and see this show, airfare and hotels, not sure that is a reason for them not to open this unique venue and make all that income for themselves. Some seriously odd dialogue in here, i think it’s amazing they can make so much money doing what they earned the right to do and is their livelihood. The Netherlands waives tax obligations for engagements under 3 months, so as long as the band aren't there for more than 90 days, they don't pay much tax at all. They are very well run and very efficient. Promoters will happily pay much less than normal because of the guaranteed sales and volume.

2009-2011's tour grossed around $750m, with a $1.5m/per stadium show running cost and around $750k/arena show, plus merch (averaging 1 T sold for every 3 tickets) - so approx 2.5m T-shirts at $30 each ($65m in shirts), plus circa 100,000 fanclub members ($4m/pa). Because of the scale they work on, and the number of ticket sales, everyone on their staff is paid very well as a day rate contractor with generous salaries and benefits. U2, when performing, generally spend less than 90 days per year in the US doing paid work so undoubtedly have preferential tax outcomes as well.īased in the Netherlands, tax efficient subcompanies, never in any one country long enough to have a major tax burden, alongside tax breaks. The relevant countries are generally happy enough to get the VAT/sales taxes on income from the events in any respect rather then double whammy tax earnt by the artist for the performance, so are very tax efficient.Įfficient use of staging, with collapsible/light weight design, reduces the number of trucks required (the 2017-2019 rig used 3 trucks, instead of the 2009-11 7 trucks), and the amount of construction/tear down time in the stadium as well. Irish Law also waives some tax obligations for artists : Artists' exemption from income tax Click to expand.Based in the Netherlands, tax efficient subcompanies, never in any one country long enough to have a major tax burden, alongside tax breaks.
