For the last few months, we've been keeping tabs on Earnings and Attendance of various metal and hard rock acts to compare just how well certain bands do at the box office. Today we're getting a whole different perspective on how much money is made.
Priceonomics have compiled a list of alleged prices some of these acts charge, and ThePRP were kind enough to extract all the relevant rock and metal acts for us the gaze at.
Keep in mind the source is apparently a booker for a large university and bands usually inflate their prices for university gigs since it's not as competitive and universities have more moeny to work with since it comes from a student fund (your tuition at work!). With that said, here's an estimation of how much bands you like might charge:
311 – $100,000-$150,000
Avenged Sevenfold – $100,000+
Breaking Benjamin – $100,000-$200,000
Foo Fighters – $500,000+
Jane’s Addiction – $100,000
Muse – $150,000
Queens Of The Stone Age – $65,000-$125,000

The most shocking thing coming out of here is that 311 charges over $100k. I didn't realize they were that big.
