Paul McCartney

THE Culture Company  originally estimated the  Liverpool Sound concert  would cost £1.78m, but it has   increased to £1.94m.

The main changes are:

The cost of infrastructure,  including stage, up from  £470,000 to £700,000

Artist fees and expenses,  now £340,000, an increase of  £90,000

PA sound, lighting and set  went up £50,000 to £400,000.

The council now hopes to  get £158,000 in additional  ticket income, bringing the  total to £1.84m. Hospitality is  also expected to generate  £35,000, but was not  originally not expected to  make any money.

Expectations that  merchandising and sale of  programmes would generate  £100,000, have been  downgraded by £30,000.
