Largest concerts ever

The idea behind being a live venue owner is trying to make as much money as you can, while still maintaining your integrity. Now one way to make a ton of money is to sell out the venue every night. If the venue is sold out every night and lets say it holds two thousand people, well the average show that I have been to has been anywhere from ten to fifteen dollars. This means that that venue alone on ticket sales would bring in anywhere from twenty thousand dollars to thirty thousand dollars. That is a good chunk of change for any venue owner to get every night they have a show. So this got me thinking, “how much money did the largest show in history make if the tickets were at an average of ten dollars a ticket?”

            Well we could not just start with the largest show in history so we will go with the top four. The forth largest show in history is: the Monsters of Rock show which had Metallica, Pantera, The Black Crowes and headlining was AC/DC. The total number of people at the show was 1.6 million which means at ten dollars a ticket, which I am sure they were much more, that company made sixteen million dollars for just one large show.

            The third and second largest show in history were performed by Jean Michel Jarre, who is a large name in France. The show was put on by MTV France, so I would assume there was a huge following. The third and second largest show in history was a live MTV event. The third largest had 2.5 million people in attendance and the second largest had 3.5 million in attendance; which means that the concerts took in two hundred and fifty million dollars, and three hundred and fifty million dollars respectively.

            The largest show in the history of mankind was by the artist Rod Stewart, which had 4.2 million people in attendance, which if you ask me is ridiculous, but at an average of ten dollars a ticket those venue owners pulled in a whopping four hundred and twenty million dollars. That is amazing.

            There is a ton of money out in this industry and I can’t wait to start making some for myself.
