In March, the top 30 tours grossed a combined $116.1 million and sold 1.4 million tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.
Unsurprisingly, that’s among the lowest totals since Billboard launched its monthly boxscore recap over a year ago. (At the time of publication, the top 30 tours of January grossed $101 million, but that figure has since exceeded $150 million due to delayed reports.) Before March had even reached its midpoint, tours had stopped and venues had gone dark in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Of course, that was not part of the plan. March had plenty of stadium and arena tours scheduled around the world, from North America to Australia, from March 1 to March 31.
