Highest-Grossing Concert Tours of the Week 7/15
There were few surprises when it came to the top-grossing concert tours of last week, except perhaps the fact that the average ticket price for a Rolling Stones ticket was over $300. Still, even though many artists held their spot from the previous week, there’s one that entered the top five for the first time.
5.) Fleetwood Mac
Total Gross: $1,426,254
Average ticket price: $111.75
Wrapping up their reunion tour with a huge bang, Fleetwood Mac makes it into the top five for the first time this week. Bringing all of their best hits to all of their biggest fans around the country paid off and they got such a huge response, fans can only hope this is another tour they’re likely to see again.
4.) Bon Jovi, “Because We Can”
Total Gross: $1,622,485
Average ticket price: $106.01
This is one band that’s proving they definitely still can! Currently out promoting their newest album, Bon Jovi has found their way into the top five nearly every week since this one began.
3.) Kenny Chesney, “No Shoes Nation”
Total Gross: $1,829,281
Average ticket price: $76.47
Country fans know that if you want to see a real show, you’ve got to get out and see Kenny Chesney in concert. He’s still bringing the no shoes lifestyle around the nation, and still making his way into the top five while doing it.
2.) Taylor Swift, “Red”
Total Gross: $2,072,961
Average ticket price: $84.02
Also another hot act to catch is the always incredible, Taylor Swift. It’s not only amazing that she continues to appear at the top of this list week after week, but that she can keep her ticket prices so low while doing it. Clearly, a lot of people want to help her paint the town “Red.”
1.) The Rolling Stones
Total Gross: $7,969,276
Average ticket price: $346.08
While the Stones could have undoubtedly made their way to the top of the list all on their own, there’s no doubt that those hefty ticket prices helped. Nearly three times as much as other average ticket prices, you should go see the Stones, but you’ll pay a lot of money to do it.
