Info on massage therapists travelling on tour with bands and stuff. Pay and type of work.?

On what basis are they payed?
How much do they have to pay for whilst on tour or is it covered by the band?
Any information at all really. Any good websites etc.
Thank you guys =)
I will be 19 when I am fully qualified, Im thinking of just doing it locally (sydney australia) while im at tafe, to get known, maybe for free but my show tickets and stuff are paid for.
I really just want to know
a> how to get into it
b> who pays me (the band, agents, ??)
c> and how. per massage, per hour, and what is covered for me, accomodation, food etc.
Thankyouthankthankyou.

When I was touring with the band, I was paid $500.00 per week and had passes for the shows and was allowed to bunk on the tour bus. As for accomodations at hotels and such, I had to make do with the band. I was just an employee of the band. I was paid by the corporation that paid the band members. The hospitality food was included at some venues but not at some others.
I did have first choice as to who was massaged and not. Some folks just don't know how to treat a massage therapist.
Call your local venues to get the contact info for the bands you want to work for and go from there.
Good luck and have a great tour.

Just like with any job You can basically ask for what you want and create the kind of position that you want if you are good and have experience doing massage.

It would probably be demanding work with long hours and difficult issues to work with in band members as they are so physically active. It is like a work out for them.
