1. Madonna, Sticky & Sweet Tour - $16,235,001

 

2. Pink, Beautiful Trauma tour - $19,315,393 (2 shows) ($9,657,696 average)

3. Beyoncé, Formation Tour - $18,891,359 (2 shows) ($9,445,680 average)

4. Taylor Swift, Reputation Tour - $14,413,851 (2 shows) ($7,206,926 average)

 

Any surprises?

 

 

 

* this list only includes officially reported concert grosses from Pollstar / BB for solo MPG acts. This sadly excludes Adele's shows.

* since there is no way of knowing individual concert grosses, this list is based on average gross. for instance, Pink's first show might have grossed $11m and second $8m  but that data is not available to us. 

* all numbers are adjusted for inflation, for fairness. 

* feel free to add more information if I missed any.

I believe Anti World Tour was at Wembley.

 

Most touring acts go to London Stadium, Twickenham, or Tottenham Hotspur nowadays.

so madonna put the tickets at a very high price, despicable

Did she force the 74,000 people to buy the tickets?

Why is that despicable? Because you can’t afford it? It’s her tour, she puts the price she wants and people buy it if they want. And the entire tour was sold out, so I guess people don’t care.

There's other London dates but I thought it would be exhausting to look all of them up plus comparing the same venues seems like more of a valid comparison to me. 

 

But there's other dates, like: 

 

Twickenham Stadium :

 

Rihanna, Diamonds Tour - $11,009,839 (average $5,504,920) 

Lady Gaga, Born This Way Ball - $13,826,993 (average $6,913,496) 

 

Hyde Park :

 

Madonna, MDNA tour - $8,664,011
