Quick tip on how to start your music related business today
In: Rocking in the free world Friday Oct 2,2009The manager of U2’s 2009-2010 World Tour, said the tour is not yet profitable, after 3 months from starting it and 33 concerts. OK…and why is that?
They have this strange looking scene, called The Claw. The Claw costs 470.000 pounds per day, no matter if they play or not!! Plus they have about 200 trucks for the tour. So far, seems that the tour cost is 45.000.000 Euro! Damn, that’s an expensive tour, I guess, I can’t quite figure out these numbers, they are a bit over my capability of perception!
The tour is scheduled to end on 2010. Now you do the math to see how much will they pay until the end of the year for that damn stage.
Now, question: if such a stage is so profitable, don’t you think I should buy one myself and just rent it to U2 or Metallica or to whoever wanna take it? Don’t you think that’s one profitable business?!
By the way, if it costs 470.000 pounds per day, how much could it be to buy it?
Damn business math!
PS: I just figured out why it is named The Claw, cause it gathers the money so easily and it never let them go…I guess

Back in the days it was all about the music, and just the music. I peronally don`t like all this fancy Stuff. I mean c`mon “the Claw”? What else could they do with all that money? It`s not like people come to see “the Claw” If I wanna see stuff like that - wich I don`t I go to a Musical or CIRQUE DU SOLEIL!

Amazing. Thats one expensive tour. I guess its about the show too, but i dont understand why dont just ditch the Claw and rock out with something more reasonable.
