StubHub, the world’s largest ticket marketplace, today announced
the hottest concerts of the fall season, as determined by sales and
demand drawn from its 16 million visitors and nearly 10 million
live events per month. The list is bookended by two pop
songstresses with Taylor Swift maintaining her lead position at #1
from the summer concert season and pop icon Janet Jackson making
her way into the #10 spot. Madonna wins the #5 spot. Notably,
legacy acts remain strong coming off a whirlwind summer led by The
Grateful Dead and AC/DC taking the #2 position but with only eight
shows. The rock legends command more sales per show than Taylor
Swift.

1. Taylor Swift
2. AC/DC
3. Foo Fighters
4. Ed Sheeran
5. Madonna
6. Luke Bryan
7. Garth Brooks
8. One Direction

Day through Halloween
“The consistent popularity of legacy tours confirms the public’s
appetite for experiencing live performances by their favorite bands
from the past, perhaps for the last time,” said Jonah Freedman,
StubHub Editor In Chief. “Whereas rock legacy acts popularized the
summer this year, pop icons like Madonna and Janet Jackson are
securing high demand this fall.”
Fall Concert Data Highlights:
- Taylor Swift not only leads as the top
selling fall tour, but her October 17th show at AT&T Stadium in
Dallas is the highest selling fall concert on StubHub.
- Similar to The Grateful Dead this past
summer, rock veterans AC/DC are still filling up stadiums. With
only eight shows left in North America for the “Rock or Bust World
Tour,” AC/DC is commanding the highest ticket sales per show
(average) on StubHub for their first trip to the continent in a
half decade.
- One Direction was the #1 selling fall
artist in 2014 but after the recent announcement of a post-tour
hiatus, the boy band sits at #8 this fall. However, they are still
commanding the highest price per ticket of the season.
- Last fall’s 2nd hottest tour, Luke
Bryan, is now the best deal for a ticket going into fall 2015 with
tickets averaging around $100 per show and some tickets going for
as low as $20.
- Pop icon Janet Jackson rounds out the
top 10 with her first tour since 2011, but fellow legacy diva
Madonna more than doubles her in terms of sales on StubHub with her
worldwide “Rebel Heart” tour this fall.
- Festivals continue to stay hot this
fall as Austin City Limits ranks #1 in terms of fall festival sales
for the second year in a row on StubHub.
