How much do major touring acts get paid to pay a concert? This "price list" has been making the rounds for more than a month. As the founder of national booking agency [Skyline Music](http://www.skylineonline.com/?ref=hypebot.com), I know that these prices don;t tell the whole story. While [Degy](http://degy.com/?ref=hypebot.com), the middlemen that put together the list, is a totally reputable company, the prices shared are just starting points.

What a college pays to get a particular act on the specific Saturday night of their homecoming weekend can be very different than what a promoter pays to grab the same act on a Tuesday night in Des Moines while they are on tour. Nevertheless, the price lists below do provide an interesting and instructive look at the broadspectrum of what artists are paid.

**$100,000 – $1 Million+**
