The
new numbers were provided to The Associated Press on Monday, the
morning after Swift wrapped the Eras tour with its final show in
Vancouver, Canada. Last year, Swift’s landmark tour became the
first to cross the billion-dollar mark.
In North America, Swift's tour earned an estimated $1.04 billion
over its run. Globally, that number jumps to an estimated $2.2
billion.
“We are witnessing history in the making. What Taylor Swift and
The Eras Tour accomplished in 21 months across five continents
before 10 million fans is extraordinary and unprecedented. The
tour’s $2.2 billion estimated gross is the highest of all time
and nearly doubles the second biggest tour,” said Andy Gensler,
editor-in-chief of Pollstar & VenuesNow, in a statement. “It’s
also an example of the limits this industry continues to push
far past while bringing music, community and peak life
experiences to legions across the globe.”
The second biggest tour is Coldplay’s ongoing “Music of the
Spheres” run, currently at an estimated $1.14 billion since
March 2022, with more dates to come in 2025.
According to Pollstar's approximations, Coldplay has sold more
than 10.3 million tickets; Swift's tour sold just over 10
million, which means she's sold the most tickets of any solo
performer.
Pollstar data is pulled from box office reports, venue capacity
estimates, historical Pollstar venue ticket sales data, and
other undefined research, collected from November 2022 to
December 2024.
Additional data will become available in Pollstar’s special
year-end issue and on Pollstar.com beginning Friday.
