I had some time on my hands and was looking up venues from Bey/Rih/Gaga's latest tours and comparing them to 1D's 2014 tour.
Forbes has already come out and said that 1D's tour this year could be one of the biggest of all time, and no Aus or Asian dates have been added yet.
(Wiki.... so probably not 100% accurate. I looked up the venues as well and most of it seems close.)
Some (mostly random) comparisons:
