Title: Idols Tour Question
pjp2 - May 26, 2006 07:10 PM (GMT)
Do the idols get paid while they are on tour? They sure have made a huge sacrifice to be on this show, haven't they?
Also where do they sleep? On the tour bus? Man, what a ride they are going to have!!!

yes they do get paid! But not sure how much; read it somewhere, but forgot :blink:

I've definitely heard they get paid, although the amount I heard is way higher than I can believe. I've heard they got $1500 a week in LA (for every week they were on the show) and $2000 a date for the tour. With 50 dates, that would make it $100,000 for the summer (but that seems really high to me).

take $100,000 x 12 contestants.
then, think of all the other expenses american idol has to pay for.
it does seem quite high. but, maybe i'm wrong.

But also, think about all the thousands and thousands of people who are going to the concerts, paying what, $45 to $75 each? I'm sure they have no problem giving $1.2 million to the contestants.
