Below are gross ticket sales and attendance (Est.) breakdowns for the 7 shows and 3 festivals not yet reported based on press reports:

 

$2,250,000 / 50,000 - Mexico City

$850,000 / 16,500 - New York City

$800,000 / 16,000 - Toronto

$550,000 / 11,000 - Houston

$500,000 / 9,000 - Calgary

$450,000 / 9,000 - Las Vegas

$400,000 / 8,500 - Vancouver

 

$750,000 ?? / 80,000 - Coachella, Indio, CA (Headliner Performance Fee)

?? / 15,000 - Tucson, AZ

?? / 2,000 - Austin, TX

 

Eighteen Halo will update the numbers if and when the actual data for the missing shows become available from Billboard or Pollstar.

 

Pillars, lasers, balloons, stage setup and transportation costs do not come cheap however.

 

Many thanks for posting that, I'm afraid it's the closest to official numbers we're ever going to see. I haven't been MIA - the Boxscore reports the past couple weeks have had no Muse updates. :(

 

$2.2 million for a single show (mexico) is crazy insane and would probably top (or come close to) whatever Billboard chart it appeared on. I'm speechless as to why some of these shows aren't being reported.

Thanks! I do actually have a few stats for Europe, but Billboard being a US publication doesn't always cover the majority of international figures. So if anyone knows of a UK/European publication that does post such info, or knows how to get hold of it, please feel free to share! It is clear that Muse makes their money touring Europe. I'm pretty sure Dom or Chris even admitted that the band would likely be losing money to bring the full production over to the states. Of course, that might have been said before the numbers started pouring in (which ARE great), but then I have no idea how much their production costs either...

Total projected gross ticket sales for the Muse 2010 tour (Legs #1 & 2) in North America:

 

$9,068,000 (17 shows reported for Leg #1) Actual

 

$3,000,000 (5 shows not yet reported for Leg #1 including MSG/NYC) Est.

 

$2,250,000 (1 show at Sol Foro, Mexico City not reported for Leg #1) Est.

 

$800,000 (3 Festival dates including Coachella & SXSW) Est.

 

$9,000,000 (18 shows including ACL and Voodoo for Leg # 2) Est.

 

$24 million estimated total gross for North America not including ancillary merchandise revenue

 

Average ticket price of $46 and average gross per show of $550k and average attendance per concert of 11,500

 

By way of comparison the U2 360 Degree tour has grossed approx $311 million with 3 million tickets sold so far for 44 shows and has yet to break even according to some media reports. It may make a profit when the tour resumes later this year and in 2011 after Bono recovers from his recent back surgery. Insurance will cover some of the costs for the postponed shows in North America while Bono recuperates.

$21,703,500 Gross ticket sales

 

Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (April 16-18, 2010 Indio, CA)

 

Attendance: 225,000 three sellouts Ticket prices: 75,000 @ $269 and a few sold @ $649

 

Promoters: Goldenvoice/AEG Live

Headliner acts reportedly earned high six figure fees this year except for Jay-Z who probably got at least $1 million or more. It was rumoured RATM earned a million dollars to re-unite and play Coachella a few years ago so Muse likely earned the same or slightly less than them. Prince and Paul McCartney probably earned even more around $3-4 million to perform there recently. Live music entertainment seems recession proof this year especially for the big festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury.

Actual gross ticket sales for the 22 shows of the first leg of the MUSE tour in North America from January through June 2010 are now available courtesy of Pollstar:

 

$14.1 million

 

Average ticket price: $45.81

 

Average # tickets sold: 14,025

 

Total tickets sold: 308,559

 

Average gross per gig: $642,513

 

The average figures shown above are skewed upwards because of the 50,000 tickets sold for the Mexico City concert in April. One show apparently was not included in the Pollstar figures however.

 

When the headlining fees they received for performing at Coachella and the two radio shows including SXSW are added to the $14.1 million their total North America gross is approx $15 million. MUSE are expected to gross another $9-10 million for their 18 scheduled shows on the second leg of their North America tour taking place in September and October 2010.

 

MUSE rank at #19 of the top grossing acts in North America for the first half of 2010 according to Pollstar. They rank as one of the top five highest grossing touring rock bands behind just Bon Jovi, the Eagles, and Nickelback.

Thanks for the update! There are still four shows on the first leg of the North America tour for which no stats have yet been reported to Billboard: NYC, Vancouver, Houston, and Mexico City. Estimated grosses at these four venues should be approximately $4 million bringing total grosses to over $14 million. This figure does not include the headlining band appearance fees for Muse at the festivals such as Coachella.

Noteworthy stat of the day:

 

Muse actually sold more tickets (32K) for its two shows at the Staples Center in late September 2010 than Lady Gaga who sold 29k for her two shows at the same venue in mid August 2010. Lady Gaga grossed more than twice as much as Muse however because the average price of her tickets was $120 compared with $52 for the Muse tickets.

 

For the three largest festivals in the USA headlined by Muse in 2010, attendance was 75k at both Coachella and Austin City Limits and about 30k at the Voodoo Fest in New Orleans.
