With two Shania shows, that's 26 concerts during the year (I don't know if Kevin Hart counts as a concert under those numbers, but I'd think it does). If the 154,183 number is accurate, that's an average of under 6,000 tickets sold per show.


I went to two of those shows -- Rush and Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters was a sellout, about 12,500 people. Rush wasn't quite a sellout, but it was still pretty full. It was definitely more than 6,000.

I can't speak on the shows I didn't attend, but if that 150,000 number is accurate, there must have been some shows that were virtually empty.
