What are you talking about? “500,000 drop in revenue”? $1.3 million is about the AVERAGE gate for the tour.So Cruel wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 11:12 amAttendance and papering talk is not B.S.

1st leg of the tour was a huge success while the current leg is not running as high. We do not know the breakdown between how much Kiss gets vs the promoter and how much it costs the band to put on the show but a difference of $500,000 in revenue is a lot of money. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the next 2 years. They said this tour will be a 3 year tour but if it’s the exact same show with no changes coming it’s hard to see how they’ll be able to come back to these markets again.

Re: New EOTR Boxscores
Decline in WHAT? It’s offset by being the #1 and #3 attended shows of the entire tour. That's how it’s marketed. That’s what happens at these summer outdoor shows. Draw more pay less. The Dynamic Pricing model hit the average Revenue Per Concert of $1.3 million. Pretty much right on the moneySo Cruel wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 12:08 pmLooking at some of the last few box scores there’s a pretty big decline.nibbler1982 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 12:05 pmHowever this leg ISN’T showing a $500,000 drop in gate.So Cruel wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 11:36 amYup.

For all intents and purposes that’s all they ever look at.
It seems some on here (not you Nibbler) look at the $1,000,000 gate and don’t seem to comprehend that revenue does not = profit. Seeing a $500,000 drop in revenue compared to just 6 months ago isn’t something to just gloss over.
I’d imagine that Kiss would have a guarantee per show and then participate on revenues brought in above a certain point. I read that when U2 signed their $100m deal with Live Nation they still participate on revenues even though they got that huge guarantee.
There’s nothing to gloss over.

Re: New EOTR Boxscores
My mistake then. I was going off what’s been posted the last few pages (Little Rock, Barclays, etc...). If they are still maintaining a $1.3m avg that’s damn good. I do think though that if there are no changes it will be hard to see how this tour goes on for another couple of years.Much Too Soon wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 12:18 pmWhat are you talking about? “500,000 drop in revenue”? $1.3 million is about the AVERAGE gate for the tour.So Cruel wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2019 11:12 amAttendance and papering talk is not B.S.

KISS
Viejas Arena

7,521
Now we all know these two dates aren’t indicative to the average gates on the first leg...don’t we?
I’m not even sure which “last few boxscore have a pretty big decline”. There may be an error in your records.
The first leg averaged around $1.3M, the second leg is doing about the same.
These are the facts.

The data and gate is $768,520 for a recent show in September. Let's see if the trend with dynamic pricing changes that gate number.
