Data is ugly.

Cost of merch going away from the whole pot instead of just merch earnings... Etc.

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I makes perfect sense from a P&L perspective. You have your revenues on the left and then your expenses on the right.

I guess I’m confused what makes it ugly?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org -2 points 1 month ago

Because you have 2 somewhat independent revenue streams

[-] ramble81@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

But those merch sales then get divided up among income for all of the other groups… Performers, venue, etc.

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Are they confused because the label for total revenue looks like it’s splitting the bar for total revenue? Merch is combining with ticket sales, but the transparency of the label box makes it look (at a quick glance) that the total revenue bar is split - it is not, in fact. Just hard to see through the white box.

I mean yes. You can have mercy sales not related to the actual venue, and costs of merch get paid out to manufacturers and the merch csn fund the rest of thr empire.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

It's also not really a guide.

[-] suff@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Had the same thought. But how would you then include the total revenue?

Thought merch would be much bigger proportion of total revenue tbh.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Merch is more profitable, but only a small subset of patrons.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Love these visualizations! Looks fair enough to me, except I cannot fathom why people pay these concert fees. And shouldn't Ticket Master show a massive take? Or does Swift get around using them?

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Promoter fees probably.

[-] rbos@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Something off about the proportions. Like 1 billion should be half the size of 2 billion.

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Looks OK to me. It’s 1 billion to 2.5 billion. That .5 billion makes a big difference.

Holy shit, stadiums are expensive.

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Venue, FOH staff, maintenance, security, policing, Venue technical staff, etc.

And everything they do requires massive electricity bills.

So she could cut prices in half and still make more money than a reasonable person would spend in a lifetime but she doesn't.

Greedy scum, eat the rich!

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I like the visual, although I'm dubious about the taxes :P

[-] Nolvamia@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Are transport and accommodation costs included in staging?

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm honestly surprised more of it isn't merchandise

[-] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Funny how none of thee ever cite sources.
