Pop star Ed Sheeran is close to breaking the record for the highest-grossing concert tour ever—despite bucking nearly every money-making trend in the business.

The English singer-songwriter charges less for shows than other stars: Tickets for his top-selling tour last year averaged about $89 compared with more than $116 for Taylor Swift and Jay-Z/Beyoncé, the next-most-lucrative tours. He eschews common revenue-generating tactics like pricey VIP-perk packages and expensive fan meet-and-greets. He aggressively combats scalping and endears himself to fans with profit-shrinking gestures like surprise free upgrades to front-row seats.

Mr. Sheeran makes his money simply by performing more shows—94 last year compared with about 50 each for Taylor Swift and Jay-Z/Beyoncé, according to Pollstar. The approach has his current tour, which ends Aug. 26, on track to overtake U2’s crown for the highest all-time gross, according to a WSJ analysis of Pollstar data and estimates from Mr. Sheeran’s team. He has already broken U2’s record for attendance.

“To millennials and Gen Z, Ed is the real deal—the most authentic artist of their time,” says Lori Majewski, co-host of the “Feedback” show on SiriusXM’s Volume channel. :triggered:

...

His team projects the tour will exceed $750 million before wrapping up this summer. That’s enough to surpass U2’s 360˚ Tour, which grossed $735 million from 2009 to 2011, without adjusting for inflation, according to Pollstar.

...

“He told me before the tour even started—I want to break U2’s record,” says Louis Messina, a veteran agent and tour promoter who handles Mr. Sheeran’s North American dates. 

His team projects the tour will exceed $750 million before wrapping up this summer. That’s enough to surpass U2’s 360˚ Tour, which grossed $735 million from 2009 to 2011, without adjusting for inflation, according to Pollstar.

Imho he, of all the other artists doesn't deserve this record. He is snobbish and full of himself and makes forgettable music. Not hating, but I just don't understand his success. 

Oh well, can't wait for his collaborations project and the - (subtraction) album to obliterate music records :lana:

I can't believe the title for the highest grossing tour of all time will not even belong to an iconic music legend.
