1964: During a US tour The Beatles appeared at the Municipal Stadium in Kansas City. The Beatles were paid $150,000 for the show, which wasmore than any other act had ever been paid for a live show. Tickets cost $4.50.

The Beatles, on tour in America, perform at Municipal Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. This would become known as the “extra” show, because Kansas City Athletics owner, Charles Finley, paid The Beatles $150,000 to add a Kansas City concert to their tour. The Beatles added the song Kansas City / Hey Hey Hey Hey to their song list, with the Kansas City audience being appropriately delighted. The Beatles had to leave the stage in mid-concert until the audience calmed down. After the Beatles left Kansas City, the manager of the hotel they stayed in sold their bed linen to two Chicago businessmen for $750. Unlaundered, the sheets and pillow cases were cut into three-inch squares; each square was mounted on a card, packaged with an affidavit of authenticity, and sold for $10.
