Sabbath and Maiden are in the top ten. Just gives me a warm feeling. Anyway, here's the list. To be honest, I didn't even know Bryan Adams was still around.

2. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band; $2,301,652; $130.60.

^ I'd pay any of those ticket prices NOT to have to see those shows.

Never heard of:

9. Kevin Hart; $1,036,617; $74.01.

12. Little Mix; $696,986; $49.02.

13. Jason Aldean; $537,848; $58.95.

14. Ellie Goulding; $497,554; $46.68.

17. Brad Paisley; $386,542; $50.30.

19. Jeff Dunham; $353,546; $49.84.

Interesting that some of them have quite low ticket prices - they must be really popular, and/or play a heck of a lot of shows.

It includes Iron Maiden who didn't tour last year but maybe they use a different year than Jan to Dec as this one is only half done. The article doesn't say, really, anything.

Now I'm really confused. Here's a list from March of this year, not even the same. How the hell is Nightwish even on there?

I'd see Black Sabbath and The Who. The others can eat a warm bowl of shit AFAIAC.
