Today’s fascinating video shows, in a two-minute time lapse, the seven days and 65 hours worth of work to set up a stadium for a rock concert.
Just imagine the logistics! Which pieces go first, which go last? And all must work flawlessly.
This road crew did the setup 19 times in four months in 2022 across Europe.
Consider it this way: It took 260 people with 90 trucks moving 1.35 tons of material into the stadium. Included in this particular show is 265 gallons of fuel for the pyrotechnics.
The cost for the setup and tear down? Six million dollars. Each time. (Multiply that by 19.)
Seatpick.com says that tickets to a European show averaged around $250 in 2022.
