Adam Lambert and Queen continue there one concert a week report pattern. They also sell-out in Brisbane. Carrie Underwood gave a concert in Lake Tahoe this summer and it was a sell-out as well. Fifth Harmony is touring with latest big teen heart-throb – Austin Mahone. Daughtry is out with the Goo Goo Dolls and Plain White T’s.
Finally, a few more American Idol Tour results trickle in. Remember when that was exciting? Remember when we could breathlessly talk about average attendances over 11K? Remember tallying up how many millions they made this week? Remember counting all the sell-outs? Well, it’s time to buy a rocking chair and sit on the porch reminiscing because it seems those days are over.
At the risk of getting no more reports, I’d just like to point out that the LA concert? It made $84K and an average of $31 per ticket. The tickets were advertised for $70.50 for the “good seats” and $36 for the “cheap seats”. You do the math. Of the 6 concerts reported so far for S13, they took in $565,994. The average gross for a single concert in Season 5 was $598,168, S7 $563,030 and S8 $578,301. I think lots of people in Idol HQ are doing the math on this one.
