is it common for a 1500 person capacity venue to offer a band $50K minimum?

How common is this? A guy I met who work at a 1500 person capacity venue told me that a band/artist booked in that venue gets $50K minimum. I'm assuming if the name is even bigger they could get more. Another venue with about half the capacity offers bands $20K minimum. I was told the venue do not make profit from ticket sales, it all goes to the performers. How they make profit is from other things like their bars and drinks, etc.

I wonder how other bands on the bill get paid? It's usually the main act/closing act that get the big bucks, not the opening acts.
