A tender-esqe invite is often submitted by management to promotors with the band's flat fee. And base level logistic, cost and expense fees. The promoters then put in for the act with dates and proposals. The amount a band charges does not vary with the amount of tickets sold or how much the promoter charges, they also do not set ticket prices. Something so many on this thread don't seem to grasp. The only variable the act has in its price is logistics. (Ireland, as an island are naturally higher). You surely aren't naive enough to think Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard are sitting down going "how much do we make? nah not enough". Edit: I happen to know that Pearl Jam are about €400k (, well were 5 years ago). In both 2012 and 2014 they said "This is how much we cost, and we are free on these dates" to promoters around Europe and both our major promoters in Ireland passed. It's as simple as that. 2012 became Manchester night 1, 2014 became a second UK date too.
