The Beatles : Candlestick Park 08/29/66

JUST LET ME HEAR

SOME OF THAT 

ROCK N ROLL MUSIC 

ANY OLD WAY YOU CHOOSE IT

ANY OLD TIME YOU 

USE IT

GOTTA BE 

ROCK N' ROLL MUSIC

IF YOU WANNA DANCE WITH ME

Although they made 

an unannounced live

 appearance in 

January 1969 

on the

 rooftop

 of the 

Apple building, 

The Beatles’

 final live concert

 took place on

 August,29th 1966

 at Candlestick Park

 in 

San Francisco, California.

The Park’s capacity was

 42,500, 

but only 

25,000 tickets

 were sold, 

leaving large sections 

of unsold seats. 

Fans paid between 

$4.50 and $6.50 

for tickets, 

and 

The Beatles’ fee 

was around $90,000.

 The show’s promoter 

was local company 

Tempo Productions.

The Beatles took 65% 

of the gross, 

the city of 

San Francisco took 15% 

of paid admissions 

and were given 

50 free tickets. 

This arrangement, 

coupled with

 low ticket sales 

and other 

unexpected expenses

 resulted in a 

financial loss for

 Tempo Productions.
