So, while San Diegans have more concerts to choose from than ever this summer, they may end up paying more to attend fewer shows. The bad news is that the average concert ticket price rose to $74.25 in 2015, a 4 percent jump over the year before. More recently, Billy Joel’s May 14 concert at Petco Park sold out in 45 seconds, drew 42,322 people and had gross ticket sales of $4,778,636. Those 100 tours sold a record 42.08 million tickets, another record, up 10 percent from 2014.Īnd of the top 10 tours of 2015, six came to San Diego, including those by Taylor Swift, One Direction, Garth Brooks and the Rolling Stones.
In 2015, the top 100 tours in North America grossed a record $3.12 billion, a 14 percent jump over 2014, according to Pollstar magazine. The national economy may still be in a recovery mode, but the concert industry seems to be thriving like never before, both in San Diego and across the nation.
