That's now the going rate for major acts. In fact The Eagles set a highest average price in LV a couple of weeks ago, taking $18 million over 3 nights. Steve Hackett is a gtr player from the 70s. GnR have a mammoth world tour with big grosses and people will pay. Quite staggering how much money is out there. Saw the other week that Bon Jovi was the 5th biggest act of the last 10 years grossing over $800 million dollars. I dont know what % Bon Jovi gets but I would imagine it's a big chunk.
