Shame Adele is coming. Confessions Tour about to be out of the top 10. 

Still...more than 10 years there. Not bad! 

And i was just thinking how S&S will remain #1 for at least a few more years. 10 years as the #1 female tour of all time is a long time!

Why isn't the list expanded to at least 20? There are tons of huge tours by women that should be represented.

The fact that Adele will throw The Confessions Tour of the list doesn't make me too mad tbh. But it's a shame that Madonna won't have 3 entries in there :!ohno:

I don't mind expanding it to 20, might do it later this evening if I can find the accurate top 20 and the same averages used in the OP

Beyonce barely toured those 10 years before she performed at the Superbowl and considering how great she is and how big she currently is of course she'll have those 2 big tours (both happened after Superbowl). 

Meanwhile Gaga is coming from 550M tour gross all of which happened in the span of 6 YEARS.   I am going to repeat it so that y'all can let it SINK IN. 

550M tour gross in 5-6 years (from November 2009 to 2014-15)  

Of course she isn't going to have that crazy demand, considering she's been touring non stop since 2009 and it's only 2017 now :rip:  And the fact she is still selling out stadiums 

I don't get why Hive are trying to come for Gaga when after the Joanne tour she'll be having an overall gross nearly as much as Beyonce's overall gross.  Gaga's will be for half the time that it took Beyonce tho. 

So again if someone can explain to me .... ?  Why is Gaga's touring power so "shade worthy"  ? :toofunny2:

ADELE 2017 TOUR TICKET PRICES

Adelaide: A Reserve - $309.15, B Reserve - $207.20, C Reserve - $156.20, D Reserve - $105.30 

Brisbane: A Reserve - $309.85, B Reserve - $207.90, C Reserve - $156.93, D Reserve - $105.95

Sydney: A Reserve - $307.85, B Reserve - $205.90, C Reserve - $154.90, D Reserve - $103.95

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3936698/Adele-releases-ticket-prices-long-awaited-Australian-tour-confirming-five-stadium-concerts-2017.html

The spread looks like 1:1.25:1:0.75 => (25*308+31*206+25*155+19*104)/100 = 199 AUD average or 152 USD.

 

650k tickets point to 99 million USD without the golden circle, VIP packages, putting first 10 rows or entire sections as Ticketmaster Platinum tickets by asking 100, 200 dollar more and other forms of scalping done by the artist.

Que? She had 3 and a half tours pre-Superbowl (every album), all ranging from 35-108 dates. I'm not even counting DC's last tour, which had 67 dates. Only era she didn't tour was 4 but she was still on a stage in some capacity. 

 

"barely toured" would be Mariah in the 90s lol.

Gaga went on 6 tours from 2009-2014 with 499 dates and ~ $509.9 million in tour gross

 

Beyoncé went on 7 tours from 2003-2016 with 450 dates and ~ 826.2 million in tour gross

 

That is a $316.2 million difference in tour gross, no where near Beyoncé's overall gross. The Joanne World Tour would need to be Gaga's most successful tour of her career in order for her to actually become close to Beyoncé's overall number and even if that were to happen (which I doubt considering Gaga's last tour grossed $83M), Gaga would have still failed to outgross Beyoncé with more dates than Beyoncé.

Exactly.  Beyonce did only 7 tours with 6 years on top of Gaga hence why Gaga's touring demand went down in the past few years and will go UP again after she takes a bigger break, like Beyonce did. 

What didn't u understand exactly ?  Gaga grossing 500M in her first 5 years in the industry >>>>>>>> Beyonce grossing 300m more with Jay Z's help, 2 SUPERBOWLs and more than 10 years time. 

 

Also stop talking about dates.  If Gaga took a 4 year break from touring like Beyonce, she would also do less dates with bigger average that doesn't mean anything lol.
