    Not surprised, they barely tour and are obviously rich af.

    surprises: DMB will have the most tickets sold by the end, they tour endlessly and already have 2nd most ticket sales

    Only 1.3 million have seen Barbara Streisand live over her 5 decade career yet still grosses more than PJ. Good for her

    I think other bands are richer.  I've always gotten the feeling PJ members are smarter with their money.  They don't charge out the asshole for tickets (PJ Premium aside.. lol), they don't tour alot, not too many stadium shows.  They don't seem to put themselves in a position to need to tour all the time, yet their tours don't' generate as much as other tours.. so I can't only extrapolate they are good with their money :)

    This is from 2022 and of course, the Eras Tour is rewriting history as we speak, so I'd like to see their take on artists as of 2023.

    That is $50 per ticket on average. They have been fair to their fans.

    If the tour merch figures were included, they'd be much higher on the list.

    It would be very interesting to see with the merch sales included as stated above.

    Such an interesting way to see what bands have overcharged for their tickets. Clearly the boomer acts gouged their fans (who I guess had more disposable income).

    Bruce raised his ticket prices through the roofs for his tour, so I imagine Pearl Jam will feel it's fair game to also do so sooner than later.

    There is no harm. Should it be up to you to decide? Would you feel better then?

    These newer artists are getting an advantage with their $400+ tickets compared to when tickets were $15-20

    Except newer artists can never sell $500 million in album sales.
