Congratulations to Beyonce for doing nearly 1/10th of Gaga's Rio attendance across 5 nights, and for having the most shows at a stadium which has been open for fewer than 5 years. 

At least that 1/10th of Gaga's supposed Rio attendance numbers (questioned by scientists) were PAYING guests

That stadium has capacity of 70K. 

She should have booked arena instead

Wait, she only had 43k people per night this time??? She could've just booked a baseball stadium 

We don't have actual attendance numbers yet. I know y'all are used to being stupid, but try to take a break today.

Congratulations to the scientists too I guess. Hopefully Parkwood can continue to fund this necessary research which will better the lives of all.

Congratulations to Beyonce for selling ~43,400 tickets per night in a stadium where other peers in the industry have sold ~70,000 per night 

 

Even with Renaissance she was able to sell 52k per night... I wonder what was different this time? 

Who are the other peers?

 

By the record of SoFi stadium:

- The Weeknd: 49k

- Bad Bunny: 45k

- Pink: 49k

- Travis Scott: 49k

 

Only Ed Sheeran managed to do 70k because it was a 360 stage

We don't have the actual numbers yet because her team is deciding if they want to count the resale tickets, unsold tickets, and empty seats according to certain EXPERTS.

Yes beyonce yes demand, yes beyonce yes vibes

[BnPac]

Beyoncé really attracts those miserable and lying haters like honey.

 

OT : Congrats to the best living performer.

Been captivating and making haters seethe since 1997.

I didn't read SOLD OUT. 

 

Ope!

certain fanbase rn

 

OT: Only the greatest peformer of all time

[frankvert]

217,000 / 5 =43,400 avg attendance per show when SoFi can hold ~70,000 for sold out concerts 

Seems Bey's PR team already working in overtime to spin any type of positive narrative chile

70k for 360 stage or selling tickets behind the stage. Reading is fundamental

By the record of Metlife stadium:

- The Weeknd: 49k

- Bad Bunny: 45k

- Pink: 49k

- Travis Scott: 49k

 

Only Ed Sheeran managed to do 70k because it was a 360 stage

We're discussing SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, not MetLife Stadium, which is in Suburban New Jersey. That said:

 

BTS: 53.5k (4 shows)

Kenny Chesney: 50.7k

Beyonce (2023): 51.6k (3 shows)

Metallica: 71.4k (2 shows)

Ed Sheeran: 81.4k

Taylor Swift: ~70k (6 shows)*

Stevie Nicks/Billie Joel: 51.9k

 

Ultimately, not all of these artists are peers to Beyonce, but they indicate quite clearly that she failed to utilize the full capacity of SoFi stadium, even with the "sold out" label. The other acts you mentioned, despite often having stages of an equivalent size to that of the CC tour, still managed to fit several thousand more people into the venue. It's all just food for thought. 

 

Spoiler

*Though not reported to Billboard Boxscore, her touring team (the counterpart to those in Beyonce's camp who provided these figures) provided journalists with an attendance figure of just over 420,000 attendees over 6 shows, pencilling out to just over 70k/night.

You need to wait for billboard to report. This is deadline just guessing babes.

I meant SoFi Stadium

 

So literally the only ones who did 70k were Ed Sheeran and Metallica who had 360 stage design, and Taylor who sold tickets behind the stage. 

 

Thanks for confirming that you were wrong

Regardless, CC's avg is still ~8,000 less than Renaissance 

 

Also, then how did Taylor do it without a 360 stage?

It's pointless even if Billboard reports.

 

They would just say she's "lying" about her numbers.

The official boxscore is not out yet. And each tour has different designs, which affected capacity

 

What OBHs failed to point out is that none of her peers (except Taylor) managed to do 5 shows in a row in that same stadium

 

At the end of the day, 5 shows at 43k capacity > 1 show at 50k capacity

 

PS: Taylor has never officially reported her numbers to Boxscore so we don't have the exact stats

Edited May 11 by OrgVisual

[l3disko]

Not her doing arena numbers in a stadium 

 

the Kia forum was right next door.

[Chris]

And what exactly does Taylor have to do with this thread anyways?
