Chart Scene: Aventura Debuts On LIVE75 With Shows From Final Tour

Aventura has the top-ranked debut on LIVE75 based on ticket sales at the first five concerts on the “Cerrando Ciclos Tour,” the reunited band’s final tour that began with a stretch of arena dates in western U.S. cities. With a total of 65,279 tickets sold, the group averaged 13,055 sold seats and a gross of $2.1 million per night to score the No. 11 ranking on the chart.

Promoted by Cárdenas Marketing Network, the farewell tour began in California on May 1 with a sellout crowd of 14,057 in attendance and a gross totaling $2.3 million at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. And at the second performance the following evening, San Jose’s SAP Center sold 13,895 tickets and grossed $2.33 million.

Then the tour left Northern California and headed to Los Angeles for a two-night engagement at Crypto.com Arena on May 4-5, logging a ticket count of 29,025 and a combined gross of $4.74 million. Finally, the fifth performance on May 7 drew a crowd of 8,302 for the first of two shows planned at Toyota Arena in Ontario, California. The gross for the first performance at the venue reached $1.17 million.

The “Cerrando Ciclos” trek features more than 50 concerts booked at arenas in North American cities through early August, followed by a final stretch of European shows in late August and September. The tour is the band’s seventh headlining trek since 2004 and the first since the “Inmortal Tour” that was suspended due to COVID-19 in March 2020 after 15 arena shows in seven American cities. It returned, though, in the last half of 2021 with a series of stadium shows in five markets.

Heading up the slate of touring artists on LIVE75 is Luke Combs, who returns for his second appearance at No. 1 after dropping to the second position for one week, ranked behind fellow country star Kenny Chesney. Combs’ ticket average of 52,967 per night is based on the first five stadium concerts on his ongoing tour and is the only one on the chart to top the 50,000 mark. Overall, at his first five shows he sold 264,838 tickets for a $35.7 million gross.

On the Artist Power Index, Taylor Swift returns to No. 1 with her first appearance since resuming the “Eras Tour” in Europe earlier this month. Her first four stadium performances on the current trek occurred at Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, France from May 9-12. “Eras” is set to remain on the continent through late August with concerts planned at 19 venues. With all but one offering multiple performances to fans, the venue with the most shows scheduled this summer is London’s Wembley Stadium with three booked in June and five more in August.

LIVE75’s “Noisemaker” status belongs to comedian Nate Bargatze who lands in the Top 10 after moving up five positions on the chart, the largest jump among the eight artists with an upward move over the previous week’s ranking. He grabs No. 8 with a ticket average of 13,430 from performances at Golden 1 Center and Honda Center in Anaheim, California as well as Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
