In Goodbye 20th Century it said they made $500,000 off the Daydream Nation shows so yes.

Rob Instigator · 08.16.2008, 11:59 AM

more powerto the youth
remember it probably cost them upwards of 100,000 to get all their gear and themselvesand their families and their crew to the shows across the ocean

08.16.2008, 12:02 PM

eah maybe they made 500000 bucks, but what is that in comparison to some real huge bands, like the stones or something...nothing???
also they are 4 people that makes 125000 for everyone

Derek · 08.16.2008, 12:12 PM

I'm sure Kim and Thurston would share their money, so 250,000 to them

08.16.2008, 12:13 PM

but thurston will spend everything for records. so after all nothing for them

SonicBebs · 08.16.2008, 12:32 PM

SYRFox · 08.16.2008, 06:29 PM

Do I give a fuck about what my idols win, no.

reginald · 08.16.2008, 08:08 PM

It may not be much compared to what the Stones make, as al shabbray mentioned, but holy hell SY only charges about $30-$35 per ticket vs. the Stones $350-$450 price tag !!! RIPOFF !!!!!

I'm so proud that SY can keep their prices so low in this day and age of $80 - $100 tickets !!!!

Weeza goin' to Sizzla.
