Jay Z and Beyonce’s tour not struggling, over $86m in tickets sold

There were reports last week that the ticket sales for Beyonce and Jay Z’s ‘On The Run’ tour set to begin in Miami on June 25 and wrap in San Francisco Aug. 5 were much lower than expected as people were no longer interested in watching the power couple in concert after the elevator fight…but it seems that report isn’t true… 

From Billboard

Sources close to the Live Nation-produced tour tell Billboard that, as of June 17, the tour has racked up about $86 million in ticket sales and is on a pace to gross close to $100 million from just 19 shows. The source says attendance is on a pace to top 850,000 tickets sold, and a Live Nation rep confirmed to Billboard last night that the tour is indeed nearing that threshold. That’s a whopping nightly take of $5.2 million, and an average attendance of nearly 45,000 per show — well more than two sold-out arena shows would generate in any given market. Numerous shows are sold out, and Live Nation cites “unprecedented” VIP and platinum ticket sales.
