A lot of variables involved...

Is the band throwing the tour themselves, is a promoter throwing the tour and hiring the band as a lead or supporting act? Is the band doing the whole tour, or are they a pickup for certain locations, or markets.

If it's an in-house tour (ie album promotion, farewell tour, etc.) the bands will typically get a cut from ticket sales after numbers are said and done. If they are hired by a promoter they will typically get a set fee per date. If they are hired in as local market support they are lucky to get a dime a good amount of the time.
