I actually thought the tours would bring in more revenue for some reason.

[steffiluvlife]

haha i agree... though that's a big sum of money too!
though i really expected more..

[locofruitcake]

i'm assuming that the average ticket for their TSC concert was ¥7,000 (it was the rough amount they gave on Star Show last year), and if they sold 300,000 (lesser, i think) tickets, that would amount to USD$22,733,966.44.

i suppose you subtract all the operating costs? but i was expecting SLIGGGGGGGGGGHTLY a bit more cos of the premium seats that were like, WOAH D:

[locofruitcake]

I think this should be the gross amount. But yeah, it should be this rough amount, give or take?

I was expecting more too, tbh ^^;;

[jayceeee]

I decided I should step in an help Manda out with some comments ^^;;

It could have been that they took the profit, not the revenue, which would mean that they take out all explicit costs and depreciation and so forth, (like concert venue fees, band hiring, equipment, props etc.)

Does this include concert mercandises?
There's also their Asia tour.

[locofruitcake]

Nope, just tickets. Yeah, ikr? I think it has to do with currency value as well.

idk, this is a really rough estimate, and i can't say for sure. for all we know, they might have used a different method of computing ^^;;
