StubHub has revealed a 25% increase in ticket sales, compared to the 2019 US summer concert season.<\/p>\n
The ticket resale platform has said that the increase in ticket sales is attributed to the number of events this summer, which is almost double that in the same period in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis may be the busiest concert season on record, with more than double the events on StubHub than we saw in 2019,\u201d said Adam Budelli, spokesperson for StubHub. \u201cThis packed line-up of tours is already driving 25% more demand than the 2019 season, driven by the prominence of once-in-a-lifetime concerts.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Rage Against The Machine\u2019s reunion to Elton John\u2019s farewell, we\u2019re seeing the impact of concert-goers who are excited that bucket-list bands are hitting the road again and eager to witness what may be a legacy act\u2019s final tour.\u201d<\/p>\n
M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce and Def Leppard is the number one highest-selling tour of the summer, and ranks almost three times higher in total sales than StubHub\u2019s second most in-demand artist, Kenny Chesney.<\/p>\n
The tour is the most in-demand concert in Los Angeles, Nashville and Chicago with the latter ranking as StubHub\u2019s highest-selling show of the summer.<\/p>\n
Chesney is also the highest-selling country act, boasting nearly 40% more sales than his previous tour in the summer of 2018.<\/p>\n
Sir Paul McCartney has the highest average price of tickets sold at $349 (\u00a3286\/\u20ac336) and is tied with Billy Joel for the fewest number of concerts, showcasing how in demand tickets are.<\/p>\n
Justin Bieber is the most in-demand pop star, while Lady Gaga has the most ticket sales for any female artist. Bieber tickets also have an average price of $327.<\/p>\n
