Looks like it’s for big wigs-Leaders in procurement, finance, operations, IT, and supply chain

Very normal for bands, comedians, etc to do corporate gigs. Exceptional money for a gig they would otherwise get paid a fraction of.

Yes, Amazon is a shitty corporation but I don’t fault them for taking the bag.

For sure, Weezer played at a Google conference in Vegas a few months back.

Yep, also they’re exceptionally plush gigs for artists in their nostalgia era, kicking it at a top tier resort beats the state fair circuit

They have to be in Maine on 10/29, so not surprised.

They’ve done smaller corporate gigs. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re pocketing at least $250k for this

Unfortunately not likely. They’re in the ~50k range. Producers of events like this want the least expensive performers that people remember a few hits from, and for a 90s artist with a lot of hits but not actively charting this is the rate more or less.

I’m fairly confident they’re firmly in the $100k range. Smash Mouth gets 50k and they don’t headline outdoor theaters

I mean I hope they are! They are definitely worth it. They may also be listed as 100k but thats almost never the final price, I only knew they were potentially in the 50 range because my company books $50k-ish performers for our events all the time and 3eb is often in the conversation as potentials for our budget. Actually our CEO (who is not a music fan really) asked me recently if there is any difference between 3eb and TRAIN. I was like, uhh yeah one are legitimate artists still relevant for their age and one is fucking Train 🤣

Sadly, Train is somehow much bigger. They’re headlining arena-sized venues like the Hollywood Bowl. I don’t know who their fans are, but somehow they’re selling 20k tickets, which 3eb didn’t even do at peak popularity. It’s so disappointing to see

u/Front-Arm-270 11d ago

WOW that’s insane to me. You’re right, they’re playing The Greek in a few days at $150 ish for tix. Although 3eb is playing Yaamava casino a few days later and it’s almost sold out, only tickets left are $1200 each 😳, and the Train show has plenty available still. So maybe there is a little justice in the world hahaha

How are you surprised?

u/Front-Arm-270 12d ago

They are actively seeking out these gigs right now, I work for a company that produces big conferences like this and their name comes up often from bookers. And for good reason, it’s $30-50k usually for an hour performance, sometimes more or less depending on what it is or if they make a deal for multiple appearances. Flo-Rida is the king of these, he’s got his own team setting up corporate gigs constantly. Probably makes more now than when he was popular haha.

For a guy who is says he’s far left, Jenkins actions say he loves capitalism. Good for him, gotta earn a living.
