I'm asking how the revenue works at this state fair and how much those bands add to the total. - David Apr 2, 10:27 16

        The bands get a good amount but nothing extravagant; they make their money on $50 t-shirts that cost $3 a pop to make... - Will Hunting Apr 2, 11:14
  - This. I looked up my fave Miranda Lambert and tickets range from $85 to $95. So I think the shows are self supporting / generate revenue - JD Apr 2, 10:32 5
