According to this article in Rolling Stone, 1989 World Tour has already sold 2 million tickets so far!
Quote:
With the Rolling Stones, U2, Taylor Swift and One Direction on the road during an economic recovery, it's hard to imagine the concert business having anything other than a blockbuster summer.
First-half North American ticket sales were up 5.8 percent compared to 2014, according to Pollstar; top promoter Live Nation's sales, through July, increased 7 percent; and AEG Live, the second-biggest promoter, posted box-office gains of 26 percent.
When you have great artists, no matter, really, what the economy is, people are going to come see them," says Louis Messina, a veteran Austin, Texas, promoter working with Swift, Sheeran, Kenny Chesney and Eric Church. "There weren't many empty seats around the country, for me, anywhere."
