Forbes: “On The Run Tour Likely To Be Most Second Most Successful Tour Ever”

Published: Thursday 19th Jun 2014 by David

It would seem, contrary to claims made by a number of Pop critics, that Beyonce & Jay Z‘s ‘On The Run Tour’ is anything but a bomb.

In fact, in what will mark yet another high reached by the Carter’s, the live show is now predicted to become the second most successful tour of all time, surpassing efforts made by the likes of Madonna, Michael and Janet Jackson and ‘Monster’ maestro Eminem.

Had enough of the fairytales and fallacies?

Facts and figures below…

‘Forbes’ reports;

With a week to go until the opening show in Miami’s SunLife Stadium, the tour is on pace to sell almost 1 million tickets, and gross close to $100 million.  At that pace, it would be the second most successful tour of all time based on gross revenue per show.

While $100 million would not put On The Run at the head of the list of all-time grossing tours, it would place it in rarified air for gross revenue per show.  With the tally for the upcoming One Direction Tour still to be calculated, the 10th all-time grossing tour belongs to Bruce Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball Tour, which grossed $314 million across 112 dates, or $2,803,571 per show.  The number one all-time grossing tour was U2’s 360 tour, which grossed $736 million across 110 dates, or $6,694,000 per show.  If On The Run cracks $100 million in gross sales, as Ticketmaster says it is on pace to do, they’d be the clear number two, with around $5,000,000 in gross sales per show.  The below chart shows the gross per show of the top 10 all-time grossing tours, as well as On the Run.

Tour         Tour Gross Tour Dates   Gross/Show
U2 – 360$736,421,584        110$6,694,742
On The Run$100,000,000        20$5,000,000
Rolling Stones – Bigger Bang$558,255,254        144$3,876,773
Roger Waters – The Wall$458,673,798        219$2,094,401
AC/DC – Black Ice$441,713,636        167$2,644,992
Madonna – Sticky Sweet$407,713,266        85$4,796,627
U2 – Vertigo$389,047,636        131$2,969,829
Police – Reunion$358,825,665        156$2,300,165
Rolling Stones- Voodoo Lounge$320,000,000        124$2,580,645
Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball$314,000,000         112$2,803,571

‘Forbes’ report comes after numerous outlets published articles claiming the tour had failed to fill its venues with music lovers, allegedly “turned off” by the couple following “elevator-gate”, which saw Beyonce‘s younger sister Solange attack her Hip Hop husband at NYC’s ‘The Standard.’

  8. Lana Del West Coast June 19, 2014

    Even TGJ knows this is a lie. If the tour was sold out why are they still advertising tickets? Use your sense people. Why spend money trying to sell something that you say has already been sold?

    • Yeah I Said It June 19, 2014

      Most of the dates are sold out. Check your facts please.

    • Jameel June 19, 2014

      Nobody said it was 100% sold out. 11 out of 19 are completely sold out so far. But all the tickets sold already grossed $90M. And according to Billboard, by the time it wraps, it Will gross about $100M.

  9. Yeah I Said It June 19, 2014

    SLAYYY! Haters gon be madt lol!

  10. OVOJenna June 19, 2014

    Love Bey but something is very wrong here and I can see right through it. None of the shows have sold out, I know this because I just bought tickets to the Paris show yesterday.

    • Quin’003 June 19, 2014

      Not @ your LIES. 9 shows out of 20 are SOLD OUT and your messy ass will DEAL.

      • Jameel June 19, 2014

  12. Molly June 19, 2014

    Im with Lana Del West Coast i doubt its gonna be that big of a tour.

  13. Yeah I Said It June 19, 2014

    Only haters would believe a struggle rumor made up by Perez and some other random website and dismiss credible sources LIVE NATION, BILLBOARD and FORBES. Screaming and that pressdness!

  14. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) June 19, 2014

    Congrats to Bey & Jay!

    • Lamb June 19, 2014

      i hope Mariah tours!!!

  15. HistoRih June 19, 2014

    But wait. If they’re saying the shows have sold all their tickets why did she bother to put out that new commercial for it this week lol? Even I can admit that Ri lied when she said the UPL stadium tour had sold out because they had billboards up for it down to the last date which means they were still TRYING to sell tickets. Be real Hive, your fave is lying again.

    • Yeah I Said It June 19, 2014

      Reading is fundamental. They’re talking about show gross not whether its 100% sold out.

    • R u dumb? June 19, 2014

      She did a NEW commercial to promote the NEW DATES SHE released in Paris! Clearly states that at the end of the commercial if you watched it properly!

  16. Stephanie Tha Bitxh! June 19, 2014

    The Best Live Performer Alive! Also, The Best Rapper Alive!

    • Molly June 19, 2014

      He’s definitely not the best rapper.

      • Stephanie Tha Bitxh! June 19, 2014

        Lol, I know! I was just being messy… He is one of the best rappers tho..

      • Molly June 19, 2014

        Lol messy little b****…. Loving your name BTW!

  17. BeySting June 19, 2014

    There’s a whole lot of lying going on around these parts. Call me when Beyonce decides to get back to being her old self again cos I’m done with all this propaganda.

  18. stac June 19, 2014

    It’s a flop because they’ve booked football stadiums as their venues and they’re not even close to full

    • Draggin4MrsCarter June 19, 2014

      Thank you. These silly kids think they know so much about the industry but don’t know squat. If you book a venue and you don’t come close to filling it then you are flopping. That’s why I’m not supporting this tour because I can tell that Jay is trying to use her ONCE again.

      • XXX June 19, 2014

        Receipts of ‘not coming close’ to filling them?

  19. RoyalKev June 19, 2014

    Wow @ these numbers! Slay King!
    Smh @Wendy!

  20. Jewel June 19, 2014

    Why would they lie about this lol? The proof will only be shown in the pudding. You people are just mad because you’ve been proved wrong once again.

  21. Applause June 19, 2014

    This tour will flop watch Beyonce really works like a s****.

    • Tyler June 19, 2014

      The only s**** is your fave….whose going to have to work off all of those millions of dollars that her record label used to promote her recently FLOP efforts #BOOOOOOOOOOO :p

      • DIGGER BEY June 19, 2014

        Yessss Draggg that little Cumster!

  22. Jewel June 19, 2014

    Anyway this Tour was bound to be successful congrats. Two of the biggest brands in music would not be adding extensive dates for no reason.

  23. QueenCeline June 19, 2014

    Oh Beyonce, you’re not fooling anyone anymore.

  24. Draggin4MrsCarter June 19, 2014

    Y’all can keep on lying to yourselves but I won’t. None of the places they’ve booked have sold out so what are we celebrating? Beyonce could have sold these stadiums by herself but people aren’t going because they don’t know what a Beyonce and Jay show will look like. I can’t stand Wendy’s ass but I’m tired of the Hive being so gullible every damn time and not seeing past the b*******.

    • Molly June 19, 2014

      Wow a Beyonce fan who isn’t delusional or gullible i respect that.

    • DIGGER BEY June 19, 2014

      Girl STFU!

    • Molly June 19, 2014

      Lmao damn.

  25. Molly June 19, 2014

    So Wendy wasn’t lying…. hmmm.

  26. chloe June 19, 2014

    Why are people saying Beyonce is lying? She hasnt made one statement about the status of the ticket sales. Even more, when reputable sites have posted that the tour has several sold out shows, haters are still saying its not. The hate for this power couple is so strong that imbeciles can’t accept the facts even when its right infront of them

    • Kim Kardashian Stan June 19, 2014

      Right its not Beyonce lying its the hive.

  27. KatyKadet June 19, 2014

    Of course Forbes want to talk about gross as if that matters to anything when the tour actually begins. There are gonna be so many empty seats at those shows because they haven’t sold out. If you don’t believe me, check for yourself.

    http://www.ticketmaster.com/JAY-Z-tickets/artist/781009

    • XXX June 19, 2014

      Gross is actually what makes you successful Touring act doll.
      People who sell out and still gross less than you are not as successful thags the way Touring industry sees it.

      • Fix It June 19, 2014

        Actually Doll, the amount of attendance speaks more to your impact. Bey know your queens are ready to spend your tuition on some front row seats so she can charge you whatever but what does it say when she only pulls in a total audience of 2 million while Janet and Mike are pulling in 3-4 million?

  28. BadGyalRita June 19, 2014

    Guess Wendy wasn’t lying after all.

  29. JT>>>JC>>>JB June 19, 2014

    I have nothing to say about this b*******.

  30. Kim Kardashian Stan June 19, 2014

    I knew the tour would be a flop didn’t Beyonce fans just come off the Mrs.Carter show spending atleast 600-1000 dollars and you thought a couple of months later they’d be willing to do it again when they just spent a small fortune to see you. Bye flops & frauds

    • Tyler June 19, 2014

      B**** dont you stan for a prostitute? the last time i checked, no one gave you the permission to comment on this topic. stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re use to.

  31. BeyBeyKing June 19, 2014

    Haters can stay mad.

  32. Thelondoneffect June 19, 2014

    You guys at TGJ are so biased, E online even stated that the ticket sales were prett much in the downside and now all of a suddent it’s said to be be second biggest tour ever, y’all need to have several seats with your poor biased journalism.

    • DanitySlain June 19, 2014

      But they only reported on what Forbes said.

    • Fix It June 19, 2014

      You came to ThatGrapeJuice.Net for honest journalism?

  33. Vee June 19, 2014

    “Only haters would believe a struggle rumor made up by Perez and some other random website and dismiss credible sources LIVE NATION, BILLBOARD and FORBES. Screaming and that pressdness!”

    PREACH!!!. THESE HATERS ARE PRESSED AS HELL!!
    THEY CANT STAND SEEING BEY WINNING AT EVERYTHING.

  34. Tyler June 19, 2014

    Wtf are you throwing shade at Beyonce? damn….you’re acting like she’s the won’t who came out and stated “Our On the Run Tour is going to be the 2nd most successful of ALL TIME”. Haters remain seated.

    • Iconic Cici June 19, 2014

      Yall stay over hyping Beyonce when she can’t even live up to it.

      • Tyler June 19, 2014

        the last time I checked I didnt say ‘iconic cici jump into this conversation.” Now with that being said, you are basing your response off of bias. Because all of that other s*** isnt even relevent to the topic at hand. Fact remains, SHE DIDNT SAY IT.

        AND lets not talk about hype when your fave couldnt even live up to her own. Let alone to someone on Beyonces caliber #MovingON——>

  35. XXX June 19, 2014

    Lol can people read? Its about TOUR GROSS not sell out. Why do you think Bruce Springsteen is such a Touring artist yet he doesn’t have to sell out and still do better than those who did. GROSS is what makes you successfull.
    And btw the Tour is selling very well.

  36. Teacher June 19, 2014

    Most SECOND successful tour….BYE!.. Why all of a sudden all these reports of how successful it is comin out….. Hmmmm…. Ok

  37. Iconic Cici June 19, 2014

    Not Beyonce own fans clocking her lol Tyler sit down Beyonce is a liar.

    • DIGGER BEY June 19, 2014

      H** hush

  38. Vee June 19, 2014

    Screaming at the haters! Reading is fundamental! It didn’t say the Tour was 100% sold out. It said. It grossed about $100M So far! R y’all that hateful to not even make any sense?
    If the Tour was Flopping, y’all really think they would add new U.s dates and International dates? Y’all are some dumb folks foreal.

  39. Revolution June 19, 2014

    I guess we will all see in the end. Weren’t yall dragging Mrs Carter Tour for ‘flopping’ yet its now the 4th most successful Tour by a female artist of all time without 200+ dates?

  40. The Great Lacefronce. June 19, 2014

    There will be many empty seats

    • Vee June 19, 2014

      Yes, but the Tour Gross alone, is sufficient for it to become the 2nd MOST successful tour of all time!

  41. JanetXone June 19, 2014

    Sorry but this article says the SAME thing that Wendy did. She never said they wouldn’t make money, she said that tickets weren’t selling well and that is true. If they were I wouldn’t have been able to look for tickets to buy on Ticketmaster five minutes ago.

  42. Revolution June 19, 2014

    And sorry but no tour thats flopping adds more dates. Use your common sense guys!
    Where did they even mention the words ‘sold out’ in this article at all in the first place?

  43. Iconic Cici June 19, 2014

    Thank you Wendy for spilling the tea earlier this week. The hive will believe anything and won’t research s*** with they’re lazy simple minded asses.

  44. ratedxxxxx June 19, 2014

    how much did that cost the carters?

    nothing new about paying people off to kiss their asses….go on the major tickets sites and see all the available tickets still on there….

    when ever a beyondfake or joe camel album, tour is coming out it’s always the same, sold out tour in 3 seconds, best r&b, pop, rock, reggae, country album

    • Kisses Down Low June 19, 2014

      Can you read baby?

  45. Tyler June 19, 2014

    @iconic CiCi
    Sorry but only people who are fans of artist that are capable of selling 100k in the first week are allowed to leave a comment in this section.

  46. Hey Ms Carter June 19, 2014

    According to billboard
    Two days later, Live Nation offered this statement to Billboard: “The On The Run Tour opens next Wednesday in Miami’s Sun Life Stadium to over 48,000 fans, then rolls to Cincinnati to a sellout crowd of more than 37,000 fans, and on July 1st more than 50,000 fans will pack Boston’s Gillette Stadium. With sellout nights across North America, these first three shows are indicative of the strong demand. Overall, the tour has sold well over 750,000 tickets, grossing more than $90 million, and has unprecedented VIP and Platinum ticket sales.”

    Those types of numbers would make On The Run one of the most successful tours of the year, with quite possibly the highest per-show average in terms of gross and attendance of any tour on the road this year. That is not unexpected; while both Beyonce and Jay-Z toured extensively in 2013, their audiences do not completely overlap, and their profile as music’s “power couple” gives the pairing the type of “event” status coveted in the live music industry.

    It is true that a fair amount of tickets are still available for sale in some cities on both the primary and secondary markets. Regarding the latter, to pass judgment on the success of any tour by the number of tickets available on the secondary market is misguided. Those tickets have already been sold, at least once. Ticket resellers are, for the most part, speculators; they buy tickets at on-sale, speculating that they will be able to re-sell them at a higher price. Sometimes they win big, and sometimes they lose. Quite often, resellers purchase more tickets than demand dictates, and in many cases these tickets are priced higher than the market will bear. In such a situation, re-sellers adjust pricing or take a hit, and that’s when fans with patience can find deals as re-sellers slash prices in an attempt to cut their losses. In the end, supply and demand rules the day, as it does in most businesses”

  47. Kisses Down Low June 19, 2014

    Haters are so dumb. They’re not even reading the article properly smh.

  51. Kisses Down Low June 19, 2014

    I see no lies in this article. Yall are some dumb people!

  52. Blue Ivy Carter-Rodriguez June 19, 2014

    Beyoncé is using the same tactic that JT did for his album. Make it seem so cool and it would do so well just so the consumers can buy tickets off of false calculations. How much did the fraud spend to have forbes come up with this garbage? And the black stallion fans should be upset that Beyoncé is taking all of the shine away from Kelly mediating and you could see her stomach getting bigger with her baby calf growing inside her. I think Kelly and Bey can borrow each other’s clothes now since they’re the same size.

    • Vee June 19, 2014

      B**** Bye. You’re a hater.

    • Tyler June 19, 2014

      idk about bey and kelly sharing the same clothes but rihanna could probably use one of kellys maternity sweaters as a beanie. considering the fact that rihannas head and her stomach are around the same size.

  53. Tasha June 19, 2014

    Not everyone can charge 1000+ for a ticket and still sell well. Congrats!

    • Teacher June 19, 2014

      Hell obviously they can’t either! What part of NOT SOLD out don’t you understand! Dumb ghetto biitch!!!

  54. OMG Logic! June 19, 2014

    Desperate. They can’t sell out stadiums with their own star power, so they resort to grouping up. As far as I’m concerned, Bey is selling 3/4ths of the tickets and the camel is selling the other 1/4th. Of course neither could sell out a stadium alone so…

  55. Vee June 19, 2014

    A struggling tour doesn’t get new dates added. Haters are so jealous, they can’t even use their logics! Smh.

    Some of you need to learn how to read an article before commenting. Nowhere in the article have they said, that the Tour was 100% sold out. But the average gross per show alone makes it the 2nd MOST successful tour of all time! Grossing 5M per show.
    About $100 with just 19 shows.

  56. Anne June 19, 2014

    Wow! Good for them. I’m not surprised though, it’s an unbeatable team. Besides, Forbes & Billboard are more reliable than Radaronline (Wendy’s source).

  57. Tasha June 19, 2014

    You people who say their lying are stupid. Read the article and digest fully what they are saying.
    When the Tour kicks off everyone will see the stadium so lying won’t work! Clearly some people are two fuses short of a switch!

  58. PIGRIAH CAREY June 19, 2014

    Beyonce still shitting on Rih Ciara Mariah Gaga Katy etc.. remember who album is selling 2 million alone in America.

    • OMG Logic! June 19, 2014

      What are Beyonce’s total album sales again? How is Rihanna (who isn’t an album seller and has been around half as long as her) beating her?

      Daydream – 30M >>> Beyonce – 2M

      Keep trying though!

      • Benji June 19, 2014

        Your name is about logic, yet cannot find the logic in 7 albums against 5 albums.

      • Teacher June 19, 2014

        But Adele with 2 albums has sold more than Beyonce so that excuse is tired and through! BIITCH!!!

  59. BosBitchBeyonce June 19, 2014

    OMG! Can you guys read? No one said the tour was sold out and no one said it was going to be the most successsful tour of all time. The article clearly states that the tour has the 2nd highest gross per date ever with 5mill per nigh while U2 holds 1st place with 6mill per night. Reading is fundamental.!

    • Kyle June 19, 2014

      Rigggght. Its just proves they’re so mad jumping to these conclusions and assumptions without reading!

  60. Kyle June 19, 2014

    Congrats! Haters seething as usual. Yall better cling to Perez and Wendy and dismiss Billboard, Live Nation and Forbes loool.

  61. metzo June 19, 2014

    Haters, please find a new Hobby! Hating on the cartwrs won’t keep them from being successful. We all will see the stadiums n whether it’s filled up or no, once the tour kicks off, and the final numbers are in.

    —-
    Y’all always have something negative to say. Everyday a new excuse to diacredit her. She just can’t win. Smh.

    Beyhive ignore these haters. We got awards to win.

  65. metzo June 19, 2014

    The fact that y’all are willing to believe struggle gossipers like Perez, and Wendy Williams, against Billboard, Live Nation and Forbes Magazine says a lot about the degree of hatred and jealousy yall have towards Bey. It’s ridiculous.

    Can’t say Im surprised they bring their A Game with this stuff. And can people just stop with the ‘not selling’ stuff this is Beyonce and Jay Z just fave the shame of when their Tour wraps and turns out to be an epic success. The are not stupid. Do you think they would push such an extensive Tour with huge prices if they feared half empty seats AND add more dates. Just give credit and move along smh.

        “One of the HOTTEST female artist out here” -Beyonce

        Bey was taking note on how to become an actress (with her non acting ass). Rihanna is her own woman, she don’t have to depend on other just to keep a career. (Bey with the DC maids, her father and Jay Z.)

        Lmao This F** is always talking out his boney ass kiii. R**** is her own woman??? Bitchh please. For years that hoee couldn’t wipe her ass unless Def Jam said so. That’s why Justin B, Katy P and Gaga has made an bigger impact on Forbes and touring. While Whoreianna has more years, she’s a non factor bitchh . Tit for tat bitchh. You know Aaliyah wanted to ask THE PRINCESS how can she successfully become a big crossover success kiii kii

  91. fatusankoh June 19, 2014

    Haters will do anything to shade this couple they have so much hate for this couple not to do well thank god you haters are not god long live queen bey and king jay more success with tour

  92. FutureCIARA June 19, 2014

    Ofcourse Wendy Williams wasn’t Lying, She is very credible and has a great team that wont report unless there is some truth to researched facts!

    The Tour hasnt sold out any venues yet, so the trolls rushing in here to lie and defend their fave, its cute and flattering. But just STOP it!

    I wont go far as calling it a flop, but it definitely isn’t selling out like most expected!

    • Lolz June 20, 2014

      Lol! I stopped at Wendy is credible.

    • DIGGER BEY June 19, 2014

    Didn’t even read the comments on this post, it’s all the same boring mess now.
    Anyways Sam why can’t you post about J-Ho’s predictions going down like you did with Mariah? Now at 28-32K.

    • CherylSoldierr June 19, 2014

      Just wondering why literally every song on ed sheerans new album is out charting every Lana single in her discography.

      • Rosie June 19, 2014

        Listen b**** I am sick of your pressed ass stalking me and trying to shade Lana in every post. Are you really comparing Lana to Ed Sheeran’s sellout ass? Not only did Ed have way more promo but his fanbase is 98% white female preteens who are the only group of people who still faithfully buy albums (other than hipsters with a few artists). Instead of trying to shade Lana whenever possible go see if your local, chav, basic b**** fave will ever get a release date in the US. Have a nice day.

      • Mark111 June 19, 2014

        ^and that’s how you kill a b*tch.

      • CherylSoldierr June 19, 2014

        Honestly was just wondering since you’re perched on iTuNESSssS USA. Cheryl’s going number 1, when will Lana? It’s a legitimate question seeing as she can’t even outsell “local” cheryl.

      • Rosie June 19, 2014

        “Cheryl’s going number 1, when will Lana?”
        LMAO at the delusion in your entire post. Born To Die went #1 in more countries than Chavryl ever will touch and Ultraviolence is on track to do the same. Ultraviolence is selling better first week in the UK than Chav’s last album did and it will open at #1. All that with no promo, no hits, no top 40 producer d***-sucking (don’t clap back with Dan Auerbach because you know damn well he hasn’t produced any hits whatsoever sans The Black Keys), no rent-a-B-list rapper, no radio play. Lana has been the #1 selling female artist worldwide on iTunes for almost a month straight, when will Chav? Lana can get an album to chart in the top 40 outside of the UK, when will Chav? Lana can release outside of the UK and a few nearby Western European countries, when will Chav? And trying to diss the local receipt? Honey, your fave is the very definition of local; even Rita Ora is more global than your fave based on the fact alone that she chart and book anything larger than the Tim Horton’s drive-thru outside of Western Europe, mostly outside of the UK. Until you can find more than 10 people in real life who can even tell you what a Cheryl Cole is, you can take a STADIUM full of seats.

      • Rosie June 19, 2014

        Oh, and don’t forget Ultraviolence being an almost lock to debut at #1 in the US with 180-190K. Biggest female debut of the year so far and will probably remain that way until Q4. Poor Chav. She can only wish she could do that much in the US with literally no promo or airplay (until last week, West Coast is just now getting spins on alternative), and no hits; let alone officially release in the US.

      • CherylSoldierr June 20, 2014

        Hold on, while you were dedicating essays to cheryl I did a little research. It’s a kii. You mean to tell me that cheryl has sold more albums than Lana in Lana’s biggest market? Cheryl’s uk discography has sold more than Lana’s worldwide? And you have the audacity to call anything local when you literally cling to iggy azaleas flop sass and iTunes USA receipts? Babe you need a reality check. You’re not American. Cling to Carly Rae Jepsen, nickel back, simple plan or some other flop fav that Canada has to offer. Screaming that you have the audacity to call anyone local when your fav is being outsold in her absolute biggest markets. Cambodia can’t save her now b****.

      • Mark111 June 20, 2014

        Ahhhhhh, my ceriel is Life… and I LIVE!

      • Rosie June 20, 2014

        LMAO at the absolute lack of logic in your post. First of all b****, Chav has 4 albums PLUS her career with Girls Aloud. Wouldn’t it make sense for her to outsell a indie/alternative artist with lackluster single sales? And the US is the 2nd biggest market in the world and makes up 60% of global digital sales, of course it makes sense to use their receipts. Too bad you can’t because you fave doesn’t have any there. Kii at you saying that like my country isn’t right above yours.
        I can’t at you STILL trying to say Chavryl isn’t local like 99% of her sales worldwide don’t come from the UK and Ireland. The NERVE at a Chav stan to call ANYONE local whatsoever. Even with all those UK sales and fame your fave is a COMPLETE and UTTER NOBODY outside of the UK who can’t even get her album to chart in the top 40 anywhere else, let along get an official RELEASE outside of the UK. Local B****. HOLLERING at the fact that Ultraviolence will outsell A Million Flops WORLDWIDE with just the US in a WEEK.

  95. DIGGER BEY June 19, 2014

    Let’s see: Gossip Mags and Looking Ass Bitchhs(Wendy Williams) >>>>>>>>> Forbes and billboard. Didn’t the media drag Britney’s Vegas shows for struggling sales and it turned out false. Every since the media got a hand of the Solo elevator fight. They’ve been trying to destroy THE ROYAL COUPLE with LIES, LIES AND LIES. It won’t work kii. You h*** will deal @ THE EPIC SLAYAGE!!

    Oh the Caters slaying and whining b****** hating? Nothing new here then.
    Beyoncé just keeps winning

  98. RihIcon June 19, 2014

    Their shows might not all be sold out but theyre charging a thousand dollars a ticket of course their gross will be high.

  99. Rih Rox June 19, 2014

    LOL!!! Its pretty clear they put this up themselves. How much did they pay?

  100. whoiam June 19, 2014

    How can Forbes already put this tour in 2nd spot, did it not mention One Direction. Their tour already started boxscore in already for completed 1st leg in South America 410,000 people- $37 million, 2nd leg in UK/Ireland 840,000 people-$73 million. Still 3rd leg in Europe & 4th leg in USA to go. So far 100% sold out, that is 1.2 million tickets & $100 million.There still have around 50 shows to go. I reckon this one will definitely compete for that 2nd spot

  101. whoiam June 19, 2014

    Those people keep on saying the Carters, the Carters are not selling anything. If these tickets are selling that is solely down to Beyonce. JayZ could not sell out his own shows.

  102. Lovebird June 19, 2014

    Billboard Boxscore: Jay Z Palace of Auburn Hills Jan. 10, 2014 $590,525 9,536 / 12,132

    If Jay Z cannot fill a 12K venue, you expect me to believe he can fill a stadium? Beyonce was also struggling to fill stadiums (looks at MCS attendance sheet).

    This article has been bought and paid for, notice all the “if”s and “would” and “maybe”; meaning even Forbes does not have all the facts. They tried it though but I think I’ll stick with the fact that Ticketmaster has got PLENTY of tickets still up for sale for ALL the shows.

    • TRUTHTELLER June 20, 2014

      U REALLY ARE A DUMB FOOL, THOSE TICKECT AVAILABLE ARE PEOPLE( SCALPERS) TRYING TO RESELL THEM AT HIGHER PRICES, WHICH IS A BIT UNFAIR TO FANS WHO ARE DESPERATE TO GET TICKETS. U IDIOT, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WHO IS CONSIDERED A TOURING FORCE, DOES NOT FILL ALL THE ARENAS HE PLAYS, BUT HE CAN STILL GROSS OVER $300 MILLION DOLLARS EVEN WAY MORE THAN DOES THAT ARE ACTUALLY SOLD OUT. AT THIS POINT IN MUSIC IT’S NOT ABOUT SELLING OUT IT’S ABOUT HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY TO SEE U, AND FOR DIS TOUR PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY OR ALREADY PAID OVER 500-1000 DOLLARS PER TICKET, DAT IS THE TRUE SUCCESS. P.S DO U HONESTLY THINK EMINEM AND RIHANNA CAN GO ON A TOUR LIKE THIS WITH OVER 20 FOOTBALL LIKE STADIUMS IN THE US AND HAVE A COMPLETE SELLOUT?? I THINK NOT. SO KEEP UR HATEFUL OPINIONS TO URSELF AND GET UR OWN D*** OUT OF UR ASS AND RIGHT INTO UR MOUTH AND SHUT URSELF UP,C***.

  103. IStanForYourFav June 19, 2014

    Well we all can agree that they don’t need the money, so if it isn’t sold out (yet or never), it really isn’t hurting anyone.

    SN: I can’t believe tours can gross $450 million ++. Madonna really is the Queen of Pop.

  104. Really?! June 20, 2014

    “Most Second Most Successful”, rotfl!!! But whatever this is a lie anyways!

    • DIGGER BEY June 20, 2014

      Can u read bitchh?? Thats gross revenue per show. Also OTR doesn’t tops U2’s gross revenue per show.

  107. KingBeyAndJay June 20, 2014

    Woooo!!!! Go the Carters!!!!

  108. Lolz June 20, 2014

    Reading is fundamental in these streets lol! Go Bey and Jay!

  109. Sandra June 20, 2014

    So inaccurate. It is not set to be “the 2nd most successful tour of all time”, only for gross per show. 100 Million in gross will not make it 2nd most successful tour. So misleading. And don’t mention Beyonce and Michael Jackson in the same sentence, when MJ’s tours are from decades ago and you can’t compare the gross back then to today. Michael’s tours always set records as highest grossing tours of all time and the worth of today’s money can’t be compared to back then. Until Beyonce has an album that sells 30 million copies in the US alone then we can put her overrated name in the same sentence as MJ but until then nope. Her highest selling album barely sold 11 million worldwide and she only had number 1 hits 5 years into her solo career (first number 1 in 2003 and last in 2008) while MJ had number 1 hits 24 years into his solo career (1971-1995).Beyonce wishes she can surpass any legend with her mediocre sales and bland music.

    • DIGGER BEY June 20, 2014

      Bitchh u sound so Bothered by THE QUEEN’S SUCCCESS KII. Barely sold 11 million?? What the hell is barely?? Its way over 11 million duuurling kii. Early reports had it over 14 million. Its really over 12 million. 11 million is some Wikipedia shiit kii. That bland music has her 2 classics and made her an Pop Icon! Those mediocre sales are approaching 140 million records sold with only 5 albums kii. Critics and musicians have been putting her and MJ in the same sentence for their Stage Slayyyyying and Reign over pop culture. So your opinion is a non factor just like you. #KAG

  110. losethewait IG June 20, 2014

    Mj tickets were lower than Beyoncé but still grossed more and that’s not even with inflation!! I would tell the hive to do the math but like just like your fave math is not your best subject.

    • DIGGER BEY June 20, 2014

      I would tell u to head to Best Buy but looking @ The Hasbeen Irrelevant Chanflop, it wouldn’t matter Kii
