Despite the financial crises, the transformations around the entertainment industry and an uncertain panorama, live music continues to be on the rise, connecting with large audiences around the world, who have no qualms about paying considerable sums of money to see your favorite artist.
And it is that the degree of connection and live experience is still something highly valued by fans, who know that there is no format, technology or audio quality that resembles the energy and emotion triggered by seeing our group or artist of the time to interpret those themes that move us to the core.
Despite the fact that the music and entertainment industry has also gone through complexities derived from confinement and restrictions in the world for the last two years, its reactivation not only tells us about a hungry demand for concerts, but also about an offer that can afford to reap juicy dividends, even through online formats.
Attending concerts in 2022 will be more expensive in general terms
, especially if we talk about the top groups, musicians and artists of the moment, who despite undertaking long and strenuous tours cannot fully attend to the passion of each city or town in which they perform. .
As the most visible example, we find one of the most anticipated shows of the year, the
World's Hottest Tour
of the Puerto Rican singer
Bad Bunny
, one of the most popular in the world.
Only in Mexico, his concerts contemplated for the month of December 2022, which are already sold out, have exceeded the figure of 50 thousand pesos in resale (about 2,400 dollars).
The bigger, more iconic or famous the artist, the more expensive the concert can be.
And despite the fact that we are facing a select court of personalities who can afford to charge close to 500 dollars for a ticket, regardless of the economies or financial conditions of their audiences, the real challenge lies in the pockets of fans of more than a group or singer.
From a Bruno Mars, who
topped the top artists that raised the most money per city prior to the pandemic
(about 4 million 902,118.07 dollars), to the recurring names of all time such as U2, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John or Metallica , from 2019 to date, the most coveted concerts tell us of a panorama diversified generationally and in terms of musical styles, displacing rock and pop for almost a decade, positioning genres such as trap, electronic EDM and reggaeton at the top
By the end of 2019, the American singer
Pink recorded a gross profit of 215.2 million dollars with 68 concerts
and 1,918,933 tickets sold, although this performance is far from justified as it is one of the most expensive tickets in the world of musical entertainment.
After the difficult 2020 and 2021, this year concerts and festivals begin to be reactivated with security measures, in the midst of a somewhat lacerated and still cautious industry, but which will try to make up for lost time.
As of today, the list of tickets for
the ten most expensive concerts
, at the end of the last semester, is as follows, according to the estimate of various specialized publications such as Fortune, Forbes and Pitchfork (prices in dollars):
1.The Rolling Stones-624
2.One Direction-420
3. Maroon 5-364
4. Eagles-354
5. Justin Timberlake-339
6.Roger Waters-314
7. Beyonce-282
8. Fleetwood Mac-282
9. Pink- 270
10. 10. Paul McCartney-241
