How Much Do Country Stars Get Paid to Do State Fairs? WOW!!

Have you ever wondered how much an artist costs the people who put the state fairs together? These numbers are crazy!!!

According to Syracuse.com, Jason Aldean was at the NYS Fair this year, and here is how the money breaks down. He got a $540,000 guarantee plus 85% of gross box office receipts over $775,000. His show sold out the grandstand and did over $1.1 million at the box office, earning Aldean a total of $720,000. Florida Georgia Line and Tyler Farr opened up for Aldean and they each earned far less. FGL made $50,000 and Farr made $10,000.

Carrie Underwood was also at the same fair and it cost them around $500,000 for one show.
