Tarmin Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I don't know if this is common knowledge, if it is, then just lock the thread. Anyways, my brother is a rep for his college in booking concerts. Out of curiosity I asked him to check how much Paramore would cost to book for a set. The number he told me: $100,000 plus. Thoughts?

Chriss Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's actually not too expensive for a band of their size. Try getting a band like blink-182 or Fall Out Boy, and it'll be way more expensive. You also have to remember that a good deal of that goes towards travel, set-up, lighting, etc. The band won't get $20,000 per member for doing the show.

Tarmin Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I was actually surprised that Panic costs more than Paramore. $150,000 for them. MCR is relatively cheap at $75,000-$100,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 ^ Panic doesn't surprise me. I was honestly expecting more. I'm surprised MCR is that cheap. It's probably cause they haven't done anything in a while. Once they release another album, their price per show will probably go up. Any idea where he gets his info? I've seen a few websites that list booking costs for bands, but I can't seem to find any of them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Aren't MCR playing smaller venues now anyway? That figure [for Paramore] doesn't surprise me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yeah, the MCR figure will be for their one-offs. I think Paramore were about the $60k figure this time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Imagine how much MCR would have cost on the Black Parade tour.... Linkin Park and Metallica and U2 would cost fuck loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRITELOVE411 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I understand Panic because their shows are always about extreme theatrics y'know. I'm curious as to how much the bigger bands would cost like the rolling stones or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Panic! ditched the theatrics a while back. They might have them back now but they've not done anything like that for a year or so now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Boys Like Girls 40-60k? I guess that's reasonable. I'd say 60k. I bet Green Day is like 200k. But wtf, 100-150k for Katy Perry? Um, ookay. She's not that big. annnd WHAT 20-25k for Sum 41? Woow. I was expecting more for them boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain.obvious Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 annnd WHAT 20-25k for Sum 41? Woow. I was expecting more for them boys! I wouldn't even pay 20 dollars to see sum 41.. saw them in 2001 and they still hold the record as the worst live band I've ever had the misfortune of watching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
