On The Run Tour Likely To Be Second Most Successful Tour Ever Beyonce and Jay Zs tour is on track to sell 1 million tickets, which would result in around $100 million in grosses. U2, The Rolling Stones and Madonna are among the artists whove crossed the $400 million mark. But those numbers dont factor in how those grosses compare to the amount of concerts per tour. When calculated under the rubric of how much each individual tour date earns, Jay and Bey are slated to embark on the second highest-grossing tour in history. Because On the Run comprises 20 shows -- compared, for example, to U2s 100, Roger Waters 219 and The Polices 156 -- the tour will gross about $5 million per show. That figure is second only to U2s 360 Tour, which promoted the groups 2009 album, No Line on the Horizon, and earned nearly $7 million per show. Premium seats are going for a whopping $500 and, thanks to HBO, you can now watch Beyonce concert footage from the comfort of your living room? Congrats, Bey and Jay. Youve done it again!
