Lady Gaga Smashes The Box Office, Grosses $85.7M On North American Tour

Gaga played 41 headlining shows this year, giving her an average gross of more than $2 million. She sold a total of 737,155 tickets for an average of 17,979 per show.

The first leg of the tour kicked off Aug. 1 at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena and ended with two shows Sept. 9-10 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, selling out every concert along the way. The routing continued Nov. 3 at Montreal’s Bell Centre and wrapped up Dec. 12 at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

Both legs consisted mostly of arena stops, with the exception of a couple of shows played in baseball parks, including Chicago’s Wrigley Field, San Francisco’s AT&T Park, Boston’s Fenway Park and New York’s Citi Field.

These shows were Gaga’s most profitable nights. The concert at Wrigley Filed was the pop star’s highest grossing show, raking in more than $5 million and selling 41,847 tickets, priced from $41-$271.

The average ticket for any show on the tour was priced at $116, though fans who purchased nosebleed seats were able to get tickets for around $45-$55. The most expensive tickets often sold for around $270.

Other notable stops include Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Wash., Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Philips Arena, one of her only shows that didn’t completely sell out, grossed more than $1 million.

Gaga has upcoming dates booked in Europe, beginning at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona Jan. 14, and recently announced a Las Vegas residency to begin in late 2018.
