Madonna's MDNA Tour Is Year's Biggest
Asserting her very real title as the Queen of Pop, Billboard calculates that Madonna’s controversial MDNA Concert Tour grossed over $300 million—a sum that makes it one of the top-earning tours of all time.
To put that all into perspective, Vanity Fair reports that the 54-year-old singer’s show made more this year than those of some of the year’s biggest acts, including music legends Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen’s tours, as well as Justin Bieber’s…combined. Madonna brought in an average of $3,465,640 per North American city, a tally well over any of the aforementioned artists', which range from $467k to over a million.
The average MDNA ticket was a pricey $160 for each concertgoer. Clearly, Madonna is still in the game.
