Re: RIAA is a joke.
I am not trying to troll here, but you obviously don't know how the music business works. Everyone thinks that the artists will make their money back in ticket sales to concerts. While they do make money to tour (some even pay more than they get), the whole point behind a concert is to "PROMOTE THE SALES OF THE NEW ALBUM". Unless you are an indie band or been in the top 40 for more than 20 years, you do not make any PROFIT from the shows. Think of the money that gets shelled out for merch, gas, transportation, staff, lodging, food, repairs, and other hospitality items. I am going to stop myself from ranting but I'll finish with this..
BANDS DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY FROM TOURING, THEY DO RELY ON ALBUM SALES.
I love music too but I really hate hearing uninformed people making comments about how bands make money at concerts, they don't know what really goes on..
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! |
