Hot Tours: Pearl Jam, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift
Quote:
Veteran band Pearl Jam tops the weekly Hot Tours tally with $25.4 million in ticket sales totals reported from eight venues on its recent concert tour through South and Central America. Kicking off with two performances at Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo, Brazil on Nov. 3-4, the band played in nine markets before wrapping the fall outing at Mexico City's Foro Sol on Nov. 24. All nine shows were held at stadiums except for the Rio de Janerio performance on Nov. 6, staged at Praça da Apoteose (or Apotheosis Square), a Rio city square and outdoor concert site. The shows in São Paulo and Rio de Janerio were followed by concerts in two more Brazilian markets, Curitiba and Porto Alegre with single-show dates following in Argentina, Peru and Costa Rica.
Country legend Dolly Parton is second on this week's list of top-grossing tours with grosses reported from three venues on the Australia leg of her Better Day World Tour that ended in Melbourne on Dec. 1. The tour's Aussie leg kicked off on Nov. 8 in Perth and played in five more cities before wrapping. This week's tally includes multi-show runs in three of the six markets, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Sydney's 21,000-seat Allphones Arena hosted Parton on Nov. 15 and 29 with combined attendance of 15,707 for both nights. The Melbourne performances were held on Nov. 22-23 and Dec. 1 at Rod Laver Arena. Total attendance for all three shows was 25,882. The Brisbane Entertainment Centre sold a total of 21,691 tickets for concerts on three consecutive nights, Nov. 25-27.
Taylor Swift ranks third this week with $10.4 million in box office grosses reported from the final eight venues on her Speak Now World Tour that launched in February and wrapped on Nov. 22 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Included in this week's tally is the seventh and final stadium concert on the country star's 2011 tour, a sold out performance at Houston's Minute Maid Park on Nov. 5. Following the Houston concert, Swift played arena shows in Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Charlotte, Raleigh and Columbia, S.C. before the tour's final two performances in New York on Nov. 21-22.
