Well, SWT had a $1.5M average gross so this is indeed an improvement even though ticket prices has increased by 40-50% since 2019. I can't find the tweet that compared it to Billie's and Olivia's recent arena tour average gross but I remember it's on par with Billie's ($2.57M) and better than Olivia's ($1.9M). Gaga's average was around $4.5M but that was with dynamic pricing + some stadium dates, Ariana doesn't have one, and ofc Gaga is a more established touring act than Ariana. Regardless, all her shows got 100% sold out with ease, and to me that's a sufficient proof that the tour performed very well.
