It’s no secret, ticket prices to some artists are ridiculously expensive. But what happens when you break them down to the minute? I’ve never seen anyone do this before and thought it was pretty cool, so I wanted to share it with you.
Study Finds looked at popular artists touring right now and took their average ticket price and their average concert length to come up with their “Price per minute.” If you’re like me, I immediately assumed artists like Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Guns n’ Roses would be right there on top, but I was wrong!
Here’s the Top 10 most expensive per minute:
1. Bruno Mars topped the list at $2.19 per minute.
2. U2 rakes in $2.12 per minute.
3. Drake averaged $1.81 per minute.
4. The Rolling Stones, who we just got to see in Orlando averages $1.78 per minute.
5. George Strait, $1.77 per minute, and worth every penny.
6. Eagles were just at the Kia Center in Orlando and they average $1.74 per minute.
7. Blink-182, just here as well, they’re banking $1.53 per minute.
8. There was a 3-way tie at the #8 spot between Morgan Wallen, Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce at $1.39 per minute.
If you’re wondering how it’s possible for Taylor Swift not to make their list, knowing how expensive her concert tickets are, it’s because she puts on a long show. According to Study Finds, “Swift puts on the longest shows of any artist in the study, with an average performance time of 3 hours and 21 minutes.” She actually didn’t even make the Top 15, with her “Price Per Minute” averaging $1.19 per minute.
