Lady Gaga Tops $1 Billion In Career Grosses With ‘The Mayhem Ball’ Tour

Lady Gaga’s world tour supporting her sixth solo studio album Mayhem came to a close on Monday, April 13 at Madison Square Garden in New York City after almost 100 performances around the globe during the past year. With worldwide grosses totaling $418.4 million from 1.95 million sold tickets during the official run of the tour – July 16, 2025 through April 13, 2026, along with her earlier promotional concerts following the album release in March of 2025, the 16-time Grammy Award winner moves past the $1 billion threshold in concert grosses accumulated throughout her career.

She joins Taylor Swift, P!NK, Beyoncé, Madonna and Celine Dion as the only women to accomplish that feat, according to box-office totals reported since the beginning of this century. With the completion of “The Mayhem Ball,” her overall career gross jumps to $1.17 billion from 8.6 million sold tickets worldwide since she first appeared on the Pollstar charts in 2007.

The box-office strength of “The Mayhem Ball” was centered primarily in the price of tickets, as has been a common theme in live entertainment in recent years. The tour’s average ticket price was $214.30, based on tickets sold at all 92 of her reported concerts since her album was released last year. That average tops the $135.46 average price on her last tour, 2022’s “Chromatica Ball,” by 37%.

Two more of her earlier tours also had an average ticket price topping $100. The “Joanne World Tour” (2017-2018) had an average price of $112.19, while the “Born This Way Ball” (2012-2013) averaged $103 per ticket. Both of those tours were set primarily in arenas like “The Mayhem Ball,” but also included a handful of stadiums dates.

The “Chromatica Ball” was her shortest tour with only 20 performances, but it was also her only headlining tour set exclusively in stadiums. With only stadium-sized numbers reported, it has the highest gross and ticket averages of her career. The 2022 tour grossed $112.9 million overall for an average per show of $5.6 million. And with 833,798 tickets sold that year, she averaged 41,690 in sales per night.

Before “Chromatica,” her four previous solo tours beginning with “The Monster Ball” (2009-2011) all topped $1 million in gross averages per show, while average ticket counts ranged from 12,152 on “ArtRave: The Artpop Ball” (2014) to 18,679 on the “Born This Way Ball.” In contrast, “The Mayhem Ball” averaged $4.5 million in grosses per concert and sold an average of 21,220 tickets throughout the run.

During the 2025 promotional tour for Mayhem, Gaga played 2 shows at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City in April, selling 118,676 tickets for a $15.7 million gross. Then in May of last year, she performed for 192,807 fans at four concerts at Singapore’s National Stadium, racking up $40.8 million at the box office. Her free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro the same month is not included in the tallies since there were no tickets sold.

The tour’s official launch was in July of last summer, a three-night engagement at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It was the first of eight arenas booked in North American cities through Sep. 18. A European leg began on Sep. 29 with four performances at The O2 in London and continued through Nov. 22, ending with another four-night run at Accor Arena in Paris.

Her stadium shows in Australia and Japan followed, beginning Dec. 5 through Jan. 30, then the tour’s final sweep through North American cities began in Phoenix on Feb. 14 and finished with Monday’s New York closer.

Among arenas on the tour, Madison Square Garden moved the most tickets with 122,599 sold at nine performances between Aug. 22, 2025 and this year’s finale. And the ticket count at the National Stadium in Singapore last May was the highest among all the stadiums that appeared on Lady Gaga’s touring schedule during the past year.
