We'll never see any of it, that's for sure! The probably is a way to google that information since you can find out how much a commercial is. | |

Prince is only playing 5-7 minutes? I thought all halftime shows were like 10-15 minutes!  What a crock!I love a Man who:

The performer is not paid at all. It's just massive free publicity, since the sponsor picks up the production costs...publicity that hopefully leads to more record or concert ticket sales, etc.
I had a link to a good article talking about all this, but I can't find it right now, if I do I'll post it. "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

Actually, I bitched about him being photographed on the red carpet for the 3121 opening night. 
About the typo, I'm one of those who just catches those kind of things. I noticed on the safe in my room at the Rio that the printed instruction label had a misspelled word on it, can't recall now what it was. I thought that was pretty funny, especially if it's that way in every room.  [Edited 1/22/07 9:28am] | |

not that the dollar amount is any of our business...do you wanna say how much you make? but, to confirm the post above, yes, it is a free gig.
"The National Football League doesn't pay appearance fees to any of the performers in the Super Bowl, said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy in an e-mail to Q&A. The performers understand that the massive exposure the Super Bowl receives will translate into future album and tour sales, he added. The NFL does pay for all costs associated with the pregame and halftime shows. So while the performers aren't directly making money from appearing in the Super Bowl, they aren't footing the bill for any costs related to the show, such as travel, set design and pyrotechnics. McCarthy added, "If a band is touring and we have to pull them off the road, we would compensate the act for its lost revenue for those couple of missed dates." | |

Playing a kickass show at the SuperBowl means The Kid will be in a position to make plenty of money afterwards. He needs it too, the poor guy. The guy's starting to pile up ex-wives like MJ hordes kids. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
