Originally posted by ahn1991:Tours are usually not profitable at all, but U2 has been very smart to make sure their more recent tours aren't bankrupting them. 360 was profitable in spite of the huge costs to move and set up their three claws because the stage allowed for more GA space than was had every been available before. I anticipate IE being very profitable because by booking several nights in each city, they significantly cut their transportation costs, which is often the bulk of tour expenses. Plus, once the stage is set up, it remains set up for the entire stay. Normally, 8 nights could mean set up/tear down crews for 8 nights. In this case, you only have set up for night one and tear down for night 8.

Uh Aren't tours the only way artists make any sort of decent money now?

Album sales and other merchandise are how artists make money. Tours, believe it or not, are not at all profitable.

Oh Lorde (maybe a chance we get her too).

Maybe her and Bono can do a duet of Royals.
