AEROSMITH Getting Paid $1 Million For New York State Fair Performance

May 24, 2010

According to Syracuse.com, the New York State Fair will pay AEROSMITH a guaranteed $1 million this summer, making them the highest-paid performers in the fair's history.

The previous highest guarantee was $800,000 paid to country stars Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift in 2008.

If the August 26 grandstand show sells out, AEROSMITH could earn about $300,000 more, too. The band will receive 85 percent of gross ticket sales over $160,000, according to the company that produces the fair's concerts. AEROSMITH will break another record at the fair. The $104 top-priced ticket is $34 higher than the fair has ever charged for a concert.
