       Live show salaries

       In the News of the World today it says that Matt will get
       £50,000 for each live show. Rebecca gets £10,000 per live show.
       That's what the News of the World says anyway. Given just how
       many tickets will shift, at £35 per ticket, I think Matt
       deserves that. He is the headline act. I bought six tickets and
       two car park vouchers and it was well over £200.  Can't wait.
       Glad he will get rich from this.

       Good luck to Matt if he earns that kind of money.
       I did however find this article in the Independant (Irish)
       ...
       With sales of his single, 'When We Collide', close to 500,000 on
       both sides of the Irish Sea, one would be forgiven for assuming
       that he will be rolling in the cash. But it's likely to be some
       time before the former painter and decorator sees serious money.
       Instead, Scottish rock outfit, Biffy Clyro, will enjoy a
       Christmas to remember. As songwriters of 'Many of Horror' -- as
       the song was originally called -- it is they (and not Cardle)
       who will pocket royalties from sales, airplay and live
       performance. Estimates suggest they will make a six-figure sum
       in the short term, with substantial royalty cheques likely to
       appear in their letter boxes for years to come.
       Royalties safeguard the interests of the songwriter, rather than
       the performer, and it's a system that dates back to the 19th
       century, when sheet music first came to be seen as a source of
       revenue.
       Today, 'royalties' is a far-reaching term that covers everything
       from the portion of album sales an act can take, to payments
       accrued from radio play, from live performances, to a ringtone.
       Not only will Biffy Clyro make money on Cardle's single sales,
       they will also take a cut whenever he performs the song live, or
       whenever it's played in a public place.
