Some P!nk tea is finally getting reported but they are both 2013 shows and the figure in the OP is the 2013 year end chart so that won't change for now

I just stated that HER prices, IMO, reflects HER talent level.
Basically a justification of her rising prices, which are understandable, considering she's the best performer out now.
Anyway, YAY @ Beys gross now being 224M
She may just sneak into the top 4 |

Anyways, Beyonce deserves recognition for working hard, so congrats on the placing. She'll be getting my coins the next tour. |
Right. Ticket prices are set based on the demand for the artist, and what the tour sponsor(s) believes ppl will pay to see the artist. There are other factors that are included (seat, section, etc), but that's the bulk of it.
If ticket prices were based on talent, some artists' shows would be free.

Imagine if she ever did 100+ dates for the Confessions Tour, Sticky & Sweet Tour and MDNA Tour? The girls would have no follicles.

I hope the list can be extended to Top 15. So many tours are deserving to be acknowledged.

Some shows would have to pay the concert-goers.

Living Proof and TMB really shouldn't be included tbh because any artist could gross 200 million if they did 390245284301 shows.

 that's the artists choice to do that many shows though? And Madonna proves someone can almost gross $200 million with 60 shows (The Confessions Tour).

By the end of the year Madonna will completely own the Top3 with her 4th entry in the Top10.
40% of that Top10 will be hers.
