Forbes: OTR Tour Likely To Be 2nd Most Successful Tour Ever
Quote:
With a week to go until the opening show in Miami’s SunLife Stadium, the tour is on pace to sell almost 1 million tickets, and gross close to $100 million. At that pace, it would be the second most successful tour of all time based on gross revenue per show.
While $100 million would not put On The Run the list of all-time grossing tours, it would place it in rarified air for gross revenue per show. With the tally for the upcoming One Direction Tour still to be calculated, the 10th all-time grossing tour belongs to the Bruce Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball Tour, which grossed $314 million across 112 dates, or $2,803,571 per show. The number one all-time grossing tour was U2’s 360 tour, which grossed $736 million across 110 dates, or $6,694,000 per show. If On The Run cracks $100 million in gross sales, as Ticketmaster says it is on pace to do, they’d be the clear number two, with around $5,000,000 in gross sales per show.
Not your fault, but that's a bit misleading as it'd still not be top 10 in the list of highest grossing tours ever. Reading the thread title, I thought they were coming for Madonna-esque overall gross
