Which artist offers the best per-song value in concert?
The price of concert tickets has gone insane with Statista reporting an average increase of 45% over just the last five years. A company called GigCalculator dove into setlists of big artists to determine who offers the best per-song value with their gigs.
Turns out that going to see Lana Del Rey is the most expensive artist to see, if you consider the cost of a ticket, the average lenth of her concerts, and the number of songs performed. In her case, she makes US$803,428 PER SONG, based on a nightly gross of US$12.3 million. Fans will who will see her perform these tracks will cost them US$16.02 per song.
If you’ve got tickets for the Oasis tour, note that the band (well, Noel and LIam) will make US$858,024 for every song they play, resulting in an average cost to the audience of US$13.70 each. Using these metrics. Bad Bunny is a bargain.
