Just an FYI on how Sphere works... These dates were ALWAYS planned, but ticket sales needed to dictate the math. That is why EVERY Sphere residency gets added dates. Basically, as an artist, you are paying an exorbitant rental fee to Sphere because it makes so much money on movies. There is no discount for load-in and load-out. Also, you are responsible for producing the visuals (which Sphere can veto). So the way it works is this: 1) Your first string of dates have to be limited enough to cause a sell-out. These dates pay for the Sphere fees and your production. Then based on the demand you saw from your first release, you trigger the soft holds on the new dates. 2) The new dates are actually where you make your money on the residency. Here's the math. Sphere is about $2M a night to rent because you have to make them more money than they make with Oz or other films. Visuals for a 2 hour show are going to cost you between $5-8M. Add another $2-5M for various other production costs. An act like John Mayer is probably pulling in $5-6M a night. So the first 6 nights are gonna cost you around $22-25M in costs for $30-36M in revenue. But then after that, you are looking at $3-4M in revenue per night for sold out shows, if the demand is there. Either way, Sphere makes it's money. Which makes me happy, because my Sphere stock is up 120% since I bought it.
