For something a little different...

Ticket sales for big-name shows are soaring despite rising ticket costs. Taylor Swift raked in $150 million on her recent tour, making it the highest-grossing tour by a country artist. And the highly anticipated Jay Z and Beyonce "On the Run" tour is expected to gross $100 million for just 19 shows.
"The economy is on the upswing and that means more bands are on the road, which means more tours, which means more events for venues," says Jessica Boudevin, managing editor of Venues Today.
"Venue vendors are feeling very positive about the state of the industry," she says.
Francis says the top grossing events for Monument Sports included Justin Timberlake, Cher, two back-to-back sellouts from Katy Perry, two World Wrestling Entertainment events and three Monster Jam shows.
