Are they confused because the label for total revenue looks like it’s splitting the bar for total revenue? Merch is combining with ticket sales, but the transparency of the label box makes it look (at a quick glance) that the total revenue bar is split - it is not, in fact. Just hard to see through the white box.
I mean yes. You can have mercy sales not related to the actual venue, and costs of merch get paid out to manufacturers and the merch csn fund the rest of thr empire.
Love these visualizations! Looks fair enough to me, except I cannot fathom why people pay these concert fees. And shouldn't Ticket Master show a massive take? Or does Swift get around using them?
Data is ugly.
Cost of merch going away from the whole pot instead of just merch earnings... Etc.
I makes perfect sense from a P&L perspective. You have your revenues on the left and then your expenses on the right.
I guess I’m confused what makes it ugly?
Because you have 2 somewhat independent revenue streams
But those merch sales then get divided up among income for all of the other groups… Performers, venue, etc.

It's also not really a guide.
Had the same thought. But how would you then include the total revenue?

This is way better, thank you.
Sub-account "Merch cost"
Thought merch would be much bigger proportion of total revenue tbh.
Merch is more profitable, but only a small subset of patrons.

Promoter fees probably.
Holy shit, stadiums are expensive.
Venue, FOH staff, maintenance, security, policing, Venue technical staff, etc.
And everything they do requires massive electricity bills.
Something off about the proportions. Like 1 billion should be half the size of 2 billion.
Looks OK to me. It’s 1 billion to 2.5 billion. That .5 billion makes a big difference.
It... Is?
So she could cut prices in half and still make more money than a reasonable person would spend in a lifetime but she doesn't.
Greedy scum, eat the rich!
Source?
I like the visual, although I'm dubious about the taxes :P
I'm honestly surprised more of it isn't merchandise
Are transport and accommodation costs included in staging?
Funny how none of thee ever cite sources.
