I’ve been learning about music superfans who attend 50% to 100% of all live shows across an entire cross-country tour. It sounds really brutal because the logistics, transportation costs, lodging costs eat up so much of the budget, but for them each of those live experiences is worth the effort. But I do wonder how much of the total spent goes to the artist? 10%? 15%? What I like about direct art patronage is that 90%-100% of what I’m spending is going to the artist, and I’m not sure there is an equivalent for that for musicians who are tied to a label. Granted, I’m just one person, and famous musicians could have tens of thousands of fans supporting them in smaller ways.
