        i have no idea, but it’s not Taylor swift that’s selling those tickets for that much, it’s ticketmaster/stubhub and the like. she likely gets X amount from the venue to play there and the ticket sales all go to the venue. that’s the way it worked at the 4 day music festivals I’ve worked at. we paid the performers X amount, that had ZERO to do with how much we were charging for tickets. They got no portion of our sales.

          That’s how it is. Artists from the calibre of TS get a fixed amount of money for a complete tour contract from the tour management. Regardless how many tickets are sold or whatever the tickets cost. The tour management is responsible to manage everything with the venues, the ticket sale companies, and all subcontractors like stage riggers etc.
