I couldn't get an attendance # right away but may be able to find out whenever they update it. There is a database that most places update, but it's at their whim.

The answer to your question has many variables but the very basic answer is that the promoter would look at their past sales in the area and offer based on that.

If the place was 2/3 full and -expected to be 2/3 full at an average of $60, that's right around $76k

My guess is that the bands likely walked with about $35-40k gross between the two of them, i bet 3DN took $25 and America $15.

As far as "each member getting what", it's not so much who gets what but it's likely that the original members own a company and contract out the other players per show, or salary, or whatever. Just like any other business where you might have employees on hourly or salary or maybe a profit sharing plan.

If the attendance was poor and the promoter had guaranteed a certain number and doesn't hit it, the promoter has a loss.

If the attendance is great and surpasses expectations then there are likely bonus thresholds for the artist at certain points, if the contract is written well for the artist.
