The last Ed Sheeran Tour grossed $800m for 255 shows. So $3m a show.
The 2019 U2 Tour was $400m, 66 shows, so $6m per show.
McCartney 2015 tour was $300m, 84 shows, $3m per show.
I find those figures amazingly high, but nonetheless that what seems to be the going rates.
I've no clue what Clapton would get stuck for, how much insurance would cover, and what could be negotiated, nor do I know how much of that is door revenue, but one would think it's not a decision to be taken lightly and is going to do his reputation amongst the venues and roadies no good at all.
