The national economy may still be in a recovery mode, but the concert industry seems to be thriving like never before, both in San Diego and across the nation.
In 2015, the top 100 tours in North America grossed a record $3.12 billion, a 14 percent jump over 2014, according to Pollstar magazine. Those 100 tours sold a record 42.08 million tickets, another record, up 10 percent from 2014.
And of the top 10 tours of 2015, six came to San Diego, including those by Taylor Swift, One Direction, Garth Brooks and the Rolling Stones. More recently, Billy Joel’s May 14 concert at Petco Park sold out in 45 seconds, drew 42,322 people and had gross ticket sales of $4,778,636.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that the average concert ticket price rose to $74.25 in 2015, a 4 percent jump over the year before. So, while San Diegans have more concerts to choose from than ever this summer, they may end up paying more to attend fewer shows. That’s assuming they were lucky enough to nab seats for Bob Dylan at Humphreys, Flume at Valley View Casino Center, Kraftwerk at the Balboa Theater, Burt Bacharach at Belly Up, or Flight of the Conchords at SDSU, all of which sold out in a near instant.
