What does Billy Joel cost per concert to perform?

As of 2019, Billy Joel's concert fee was estimated to be around $1 million to $2 million per concert. However, this number can vary depending on the size of the venue, the location, and the demand for tickets. For example, Joel's concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 2019 sold out in minutes and grossed over $15 million, while his concert at a smaller venue in a less populated area might only gross a few million dollars.

In addition to his base concert fee, Joel also receives a percentage of the ticket sales, which can add significantly to his earnings. For example, in 2018, Joel's tour grossed over $145 million, with Joel taking home an estimated $72 million of that total.

Joel is one of the highest-grossing concert performers in the world, and his earnings have continued to grow in recent years. In 2017, he was ranked as the third-highest-grossing concert performer in the world, behind only U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
