*Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour is estimated to rake in nearly $2.1 billion, according to Forbes. That would be roughly $500 million more than the $1.6 billion Taylor Swift is expected to earn from her current tour, “Eras.”
Forbes notes that the estimates are based on the most optimistic assumptions of the number of fans buying tickets and high average ticket prices of about $700. “Renaissance,” according to the outlet, could gross between $275 million and $2.4 billion from tickets alone by the time it wraps in September.
Forbes contributor Peter Cohan believes Beyoncé is likely to surpass $1 billion in lifetime gross ticket sales by the time she collects her “Renaissance” checks.
Billboard reported that she “has grossed $767.3 million and sold 8.9 million tickets across 375 shows, including those with Jay-Z and the Verizon Ladies First Tour, a co-headline run with Missy Elliott and Alicia Keys in 2004.”
Here are the proceeds of some of Bey’s most recent tours:
• On the Run (2014) with her husband Jay-Z grossed $95 million, according to Billboard.
• Formation World Tour (2016): $256 million, per Complex.
• On the Run II (2018): $254 million in gross revenue, Forbes reported.
Cohan writes: “If Beyoncé reaches the high end of my most optimistic estimate, ‘Renaissance’ will far surpass the gross revenues of all her previous concerts.
