Wow! Some impressive numbers here. U2 did amazing! Interesting how almost all of Taylor Swift's worldwide gross is from the US.

Very impressive for Take That considering they are really only known in the UK and a few places in europe

Taylor also proves that not being an international superstar like Gaga, Rihanna etc isn't a big deal really.

the "average ticket price" for alot of these is so high!!

I'm guessing its in dollars?

but seriously... $104.43 to see Take That?!?!? when The Foo Fighters are charging $73? And U2 are charging $97? Even Iron Maiden are $74 and they are one of the biggest most successful touring acts for over 30 years!! bless Katy Perry and her $49 tickets. respect, KP!!

Major respect for KP, she could of sold for well more than that easily. She could of done what lots of starts seem to of done and doubled prices but did less shows, so props to her.

Take that average ticket price of 100+ dollars, what the hell. Especially as they were stadiums. I would never pay more than £50 if I was sitting right at the back of a stadium. vile

something else worth noting about those figures... the "average tickets" must be per venue and not per show.

it says Take That's average audience was 126,175.

They played 35 shows, total audience 1,806,473. That is average tickets of 51,613 per show. The 126k must represent per venue, as in they played 6 nights in Manchester, that counted as 1.

Go Taylor!
I only paid £22 for my ticket to see her and I would have paid more as it was the best show ive ever been to.
I took my cousin to go see Justin Bieber and those tickets cost me £35 each, but it was a surprisingly good show.
The only other I've seen on the list was Take That, and our tickets were £100, but I was standing and 4 rows back- so it was worth it!

you should go and see an artist when they play in vegas, it jumps even more then.

An example. Drake for instance, in the UK a ticket is $57 (plus fees), In Nashville the price is $27 (plus fees), at the hard rock in vegas, if you got them before it sold out, $99 (plus fees)
