How much $ does Prince make from a single contert ticket

I was just wondering about this, since Prince himself has stated time upon
time that he now makes a cool $ 7,- per album unit sold instead of $ 0.70
or however little it was under contract.

Anywho...

Since Prince now gets his own show on the road -or with just a little bit
of help from any given record company or promotor- I was wondering how
much cash he gets for every ticket sold.

Let's say that an average ticket costs round about $40-$50. How much of
that goes into his own pocket AFTER all costs have been deducted.

Like costs of equipment, building and moving the stage around, hiring the
venues [I imagine that costs most].

So, if he sells 400,000 tickets in the US alone, how much money will that
rake in for him.

In other words: How much cash does "#1 at the bank" actually amount to?

Well, I think that an average ticket price would be closer to $70 if u look at the figures on the other thread.

$7 per album sold is pretty nice. How many copies did TRC sell?

That would mean selling 3/4 of a million records would mean over 5 million. Nice.
