Beyoncé Reaches $2 Billion in Lifetime Touring Sales
Beyoncé has done it again. According to Touring Data, she has now earned over $2 billion from concert ticket sales. This huge number comes from more than 14 million tickets sold since 2004.
She is now the first Black artist—and only the second woman ever—to reach this milestone. The only other woman to do this is Taylor Swift. Beyoncé also earned over $1 billion in the United States alone, making her the top female artist in U.S. touring revenue.
Cowboy Carter Tour Sets New U.S. Records
The “Cowboy Carter” stadium tour pushed Beyoncé over the edge. It became the most successful female tour in U.S. history by average earnings per show. Each concert brought in about $13.3 million.
Fans didn’t mind the cost. With an average ticket price of $277, it was the most expensive full-stadium tour by a female artist in the country. The mix of country, rock, and American culture in her shows had fans rushing to get tickets.
Two Tours, Two Huge Wins
Beyoncé is also the first woman to have two U.S. tours each earn over $300 million: “Cowboy Carter” and “Renaissance.” Worldwide, both tours brought in over $400 million. No other woman in music has matched this.
What makes this even more impressive is that both tours averaged more than $10 million per show. That’s a level of consistency few performers ever reach.
