Oh my, silly boy. You know abosolutely nothing. These "touring bands" eat from merch money, that's how they make most of their money. God, the money they have to pay back to the labels and such is a lot! The merch is what they rely on. Morover, most promoters take 15-50% of merch money from the band at every show. THAT's WRONG. I never take merch money, because I know that's how they survive on the road. This is why I'm a well liked promoter by nationals. So stick that up your ass and learn the biz.

Er, you obviously don't know anything about the scene that lies underneath of bands touring in broken down vans that screenprint their own merch. They don't have the big label support or the fancy bus or the top of the line gear you're talking about. They pay for this stuff out of their own pockets. Promoters don't take money out of these shows because there really isn't even much money to take in the first place. People go to see these bands because they rock out loud with a certain fiery passion someone like you could never understand.
