      her tickets be like 15 bux thats why. people make it seem like she be sellin out arenas but its cheap af to see her boring concerts.

      In order to make that $820 million he did 278 shows. With the Formation tour, Beyonce did 49 shows (5.7 times less shows than Elton) and yet made $260 million. A third of his gross with nearly 6 times less shows 🤣

      If youre gonna hate bring some intelligence with it. Youre an embarassment.

    I knew Beyonce would be mentioned in here elle oh elle.

    Y’all forgot to also mention how these rockstars tour for YEARS and do hundreds of shows. That’s how they earn massive grosses.

    Beyonce could EASILY surpass them if she did 150+ shows and toured for years at a time.

    When’s the last time Beyonce did 100 shows? Mrs. Carter World Tour? She been off that.

    Simple math, people. Simple math.

      “Beyonce could EASILY surpass them if she did 150+ shows and toured for years at a time.”

      But would she be able to pack 150 arena shows and sell out tickets for years at a time? Maybe, maybe not.

      That’s the point.

      • DuhBrat February 1, 2023

        The point is you can’t compare someone who did almost 300 shows to someone who only did 60 dates. As if Beyonce hasn’t been selling out stadiums for years now. Please. Y’all will say anything to discredit her.

    If all I had to do was sit at a piano and just play and sing 🎶 I’ll tour for over 2 years straight too. Remember there is no performance of any kind but sitting at a 🎹 piano
