Fleetwood Mac’s appeal has spanned generations, and it showed in 2013. The average concert ticket price for the band was $282, making it the eighth most expensive concert ticket. Fleetwood Mac is tied with Neil Diamond as the 24th best-selling band of all time, with 48.5 million record sales. Last year, Fleetwood Mac’s tour grossed $62 million, according to Billboard, prompting the group to announce plans to tour in 2014 as well.

I'm confused. What do these figures mean? This is how much the tour earns per night?
At first I thought it was total for the year LOL

Taking the little descriptor from Pollstar:

The Top 20 Concert Tours ranks artists by average box office gross per city and includes the average ticket price for shows in North America. The previous week's ranking is in parentheses. The list is based on data provided to the trade publication Pollstar by concert promoters and venue managers.

If they are grossing just over 2 million per show that means the first leg of 40 stops grossed over 80 million

And there is another 40 shows

No wonder they are so energetic on stage

Wow .Holy cow said Robin to Batman.

I'm glad FM got on some year end list this year.

I see No Direction and Puke Bryant "no typos" is on the top of the list.

I'm glad to see Stevie's friend Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are doing good this year.

Did everyone expect Christine to be this lucrative? Even after their last tour ending within months of this one starting. I guess that's why this tour was originally only 33 shows to feel everything out, if they still sold out big arenas and how much Christine could do after a 15 year hiatus and she's 70.

Yeah Christine!!!!!

StubHub's Year-End Biggest Sellers

Back in June, country music icon George Strait drew a crowd of over 100,000 people for the final concert of his farewell tour in Arlington, Texas. It's no surprise, then, that a big chunk of those tickets were picked up on StubHub, the online ticket seller, which now says Strait's show at AT&T Stadium helped make him its No. 2 artist of the year.

StubHub's top-selling act of 2014? That would be those dream-boats in One Direction, followed by Strait and another country star Luke Bryan. StubHub rep Glen Lehrman said more tickets were sold for Strait's last show than the next two largest events in 2014 (concerts by Bryan and Justin Timberlake).

"I don't think we realize how huge country music is," Lehrman admitted to Adweek. "Traditionally, we think of pop music as the one that is going to drive the most interest in ticket sales -- your Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga. George Strait didn't do that many dates, but his last concert ever was by far one of the biggest events we had in 2014."

Strait's final hurrah took place at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, on June 7, with guest performances from Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Miranda Lambert and others. With attendance hovering at around 105,000, it broke the North American record for largest crowd for an indoor concert.

Lehrman said overall music sales were stagnant this year, but that 2015 should see a lift with help from big tours by U2, Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks and other heavyweights. "In 2014, we didn't see the caliber and amount of big concerts," Lehrman said. "That's going to change in 2015."

StubHub's List of Top 10 Live Acts of 2014:

1. One Direction
2. George Strait
3. Luke Bryan
4. Justin Timberlake
5. Beyonce & Jay-Z
6. Billy Joel
7. Fleetwood Mac
8. Bruno Mars
9. Katy Perry
10. Paul McCartney

Figures that No Direction got top spot when the teenaged girls begged their parents to get them tix.

Atlease FM is in at 7.

Also glad that George Strait can still pack to house with true country music and knocked off todays so called country crap at the top.

1. Fleetwood Mac; $1,931,676; $132.21.

Not much of my cash this time.If they toured in the summer .I would forked out more cash and have 5 shows under my belt.

I'm glad to see they are number one.
