How Much Does It Cost To Book Your Favorite Band?

If you've ever wanted to have your favorite band play in your living room, how much it would cost you? It's probably more then you think. The Huffington Post put a piece together a while back and broke it down by cost.

There are several tiers when it comes to booking talent. In the 'A' group, you have your Pearl Jam's, U2's and Red Hot Chili Peppers. These bands don't always sell a ton of albums, but their fanbase is strong, the masses will show up to the show whether they have a new album or not. A band like Twenty One Pilots is just reaching the 'A' level now (and will probably stay there for a long time). The 'B' tier bands are either on their way up or their way down. These bands are still popular but instead of selling out MSG, they're selling out places like The Capitol Theater and Oakdale. A band on the 'C' tier is probably playing places like The Chance Theater, which is my favorite size venue to see a show.
