Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 2363

Apparently the Aerosmith tour is gonna be "THX Certified". Definitely interesting since arena shows aren't typically the best when it comes to acoustics.

"Founded by filmmaker George Lucas, and today run by music industry veteran Jason Fiber, THX, remains true to its mission to truthfully deliver the artist’s vision to audiences. THX is leveraging its 40 years of expertise in acoustic design to optimize the state-of-the-art audio experience for the 40-city Aerosmith historical tour. THX works in partnership with production teams and sound engineers to optimize the audio system design, implementation and calibrate quality playback in acoustically hostile environments for live music performances.

Hilarious they have to call out "platinum-certified"

 

Holy forgotten metalcore bands of the 2010's.

 

Love that ad mats still can't tell the difference between Michigan and Missouri's initials

 

And Iowa.

 

me: I want more tours in Fresno

god: here are two metalcore bands tours coming to Fresno

me: not like that

 

Shoot. Hope everything is okay

 

No surprise he was just quoted as saying "You don’t have to underprice yourself - low to middle income [people] will make their way to that arena for that special night"

Re: The Cure pricing their tickets at $20

 

Paywall so I can't read but I imagine a good portion of that is paid in shares. Be curious how the "performance bonus" is evaluated if the company has had turbulent times.

 

Shows are undervalued, though, and fees are just an important part of doing business and are in no way inflated. It should be way more.

Say sike

 

Thanks! So someone a lot smarter than me can probably decipher this:

"
Rapino’s compensation included a base salary of $3 million, up from $2.6 million in 2021 (which came as Rapino agreed to take a pay reduction during the pandemic). Live Nation entered into a new employment agreement with Rapino in July 2022, ending Dec. 31, 2027, which meant he also earned a $6 million signing bonus.

The executive also earned a $12 million annual cash performance bonus for 2022 and stock awards of $116 million, some of which vest in early 2024, while others vest in four installments through 2027 if the company reaches certain stock price targets."

In plain language, he gets $3MM year base salary and a $12 million cash bonus. Majority is in stocks which he can potentially sell, transfer etc as early as next year pending they don't take a nosedive. However, I am not the smartest when it comes to this stuff so someone can tell me if I'm wrong. Still wild the amount of $ CEO's make.
