Concerts are actually their highest earner.
Saw some numbers a while back which equated to around £8 million a concert.
And record earnings, according to Wiki, for a single concert was Madonna at £9.4 million ($12 million).
It makes sense, as if you get a crowd of 60-70,000 all paying an average of £100 you're looking at £6-7 million straight away plus hospitality/food & drink/merchandise etc.
Well yeah but a lot of people have their slice of that £6-7m. Madonna I'm thinking would be taking a fair slice of it.
