Ed Sheeran: Record revenue thanks to world tour

Ed Sheeran (27) broke a record again. The British singer made in 2018 alone through his live concerts a fortune of 432 million dollars, as the US trade magazine "Pollstar" reported. He puts the band U2, which led the list in 2017 with 316 million dollars in revenue, far in the shade.

His "÷" tour (pronounced "Divide") brought 4.8 million tickets sold worth an average of 89 euros. In the other places follow Taylor Swift, Jay-Z together with Beyoncé, Pink and Bruno Mars.

Metallica and LiveNation caught scamming fans by transferring tickets to high cost resellers (April 2024).
