How much money does DMB demand for a concert?

I would guess it's somewhere in the neighborhood of

(average cost of ticket) x (number of tickets in said venue) - [(expenses to run said venue) + (cut of the profits the people who own the venue take)] = right around the amount DMB want to be paid

edit:

tough question, it depends on a lot of factors im sure. dave did play the bat mitzvah of an AOL executive's daughter so they definitely have a price. :lol:

and it didnt hurt that i think dave was friends with him.

i know CP raised about 2 million (which they did not keep ofcourse). CP was an absolutely massive show, so i'd say under a million per average venue is about right

I don't think it's that high ($1M per show).

Forbes had them at $30M last year (2005).

They did donate $1M to Katrina Victims which is pretty damned amazing. DMB has to be one of the most philanthropic bands around right now.

I think if you want to get Dave solo for some special event its 1 million, but I don't know what the full band charges

yeah, i would assume thewy make a shit load off of the merch, so at a private gig they dont get merch sales, so they would need to get paid more.

1 million per show sounds about right. I dont know why I know this but Widespread Panic is 150k to hire.

there use to be a list i thought, that listed prices of certain performers, i have no clue where it is.

yea and costs would include merch, travel, transportation costs to move all of that gear, then pay them whatever they feel is worth it to perform.

why dont more people who win the lottery do shit like this? ive always said if i won the lottery (i dont even play). I would have a blow out one night hire a bunch of bands to come in and play, invite friends only, and maybe auction of a select few other invites that would go to charity.
