Individual shows:

1) Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour: Helsinki 85,354/85,354 $12,148,455

2) Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour: London 73,349 / 73,349 $11,796,540

3) Madonna - Confessions Tour: Denmark 85,232/85,232 $11,435,199

4) Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour: Zurich 70,314/70,314 $11,093,631

5) Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour: Athens 75,637/75,637 $9,030,440

And people are surprised by Taylor's numbers.

Keep in mind this happened 10 and 12 years ago and no inflation was taken into account :deadbanana2:

(also, S&S Tour, in 2017 US Dollars would be at $465.40 million, just out of curiosity)

Girl her touring company reported earnings of 137m in 2017. She did only the 13 stadium dates in 2017. 4 dates literally had 95k+ attendance the rest 65k+ and her Australian tickets were expensive. Now add the 168m from the arena. Do the math

Pollstar reported $167.7M for ‘Adele Live 2016’ in 2016

 

$167.7M + $137M (is that all for her or did the touring company also have other tiring acts?) = $304.7M < $305.2M

 

She’d be #3

A typo.

I meant touring acts.

 

Cause afaik, there are multiple artists collaborating with a touring company.

No it’s her company where she’s the designated ceo and only active member dealing only with her tours. I just went to see it again and it’s 142m not 137m that I remembered 

 

Here is a screenshot

Speaking of Adele, can her 2016/2017 tour be added to the list, please @bey0nce? It's long overdue. Even with the underreported estimated AUS/NZ gross from pollstar ($59M) (which not only is it way off but doesn't even include both Wembley shows), that's enough to get her top 8 I think.

That was an estimate it’s not reported boxscores. They only have 600k tickets there and it’s almost a milli for the 13 shows as reported from live nation aus/nz including Wembley

Yes I know but that's all we got. That's as close as we'll ever get to official numbers.

 

Or is it's against the rules or something to use pollstar in the OP?

True. But even then those earnings would only be a fraction of the total gross, no? Meaning, the gross would be more than her earnings.

 

Idk, whatever the case may be, my point is that Adele deserves to be on this list. I'd rather see her on this list at #8 with underreported gross estimates than not see her on the list at all. Ykwim?

No cause it says cost of sales aka the gross then gross profit etc so you kinda get the full gross

So we can safely assume AUS/NZ + 2 Wembley gigs grossed ≈ £142million?

The no.1 spot will be a tight race between Madonna and Taylor only if Taylor stops adding shows :jonny4:

So much talent in the top 10 :clap3:

Adele obviously belongs there but it's hard to estimate without official numbers.

It's hard to tell what that $142M means though, since it's one page in a document that is at least 15 pages it looks like. It could include other things like merchandise profits, concessions, etc. There's also a "note" beside the number, same with the operating profit number, idk what that means either.

Adele obviously grossed a buttload of money from her stadium shows though.
