Olivia's GUTS tour has definitely grossed more than $86million

 

Her current reported gross is $90 million and I think there are 40 shows that have not been reported.

Further to this, Karol G grossed over 100M this year too.  This list seems to have a few inaccuracies.

Isn't he only doing arena shows?  That is 6m a show on average or ~500 a ticket on average.  That seems off.

 Platinum tickets aka dynamic pricing.

Yes, but for that to be the average is a little hard to believe.  I just checked and you can get a ticket for around $300 which is a lot but not $500.

Surge pricing.

The $500 (and more) tickets are the ones available the moment the tickets go live, when demand is the highest.

Once the rush to snatch up tickets subsides, prices go down.

$318 million divided by 63 is just over $5 million, which isn't unrealistic at all when he grossed over $140 million from 14 stadium dates between June and August:

Bad Bunny's number of shows, on the other hand, doesn't make much sense.
