New Study Reveals the Most Expensive Concert Per Minute

A new study analyzed touring data from 200 of the most popular acts, comparing their average ticket prices to the average lengths of their shows. This revealed some surprising insights about the cost per minute of concert experiences.

Bruno Mars is the most expensive artist, with concertgoers paying $2.19 per minute to see him perform. Here’s the Top 10 list:

1. **Bruno Mars** – $2.19 per minute
2. **U2** – $2.12 per minute
3. **Drake** – $1.81 per minute
4. **The Rolling Stones** – $1.78 per minute
5. **George Strait** – $1.77 per minute
6. **Eagles** – $1.74 per minute
7. **Blink-182** – $1.53 per minute
8. **(TIE) Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Morgan Wallen** – $1.39 per minute

Despite her high ticket prices, Taylor Swift doesn’t make the list. This is because, even though her tickets are expensive, her concerts offer a lot of value for the price.

Taylor’s concerts average an impressive 3 hours and 21 minutes, longer than any other artist in the study. Following her are Dead & Company at 3 hours and 14 minutes, and Guns N’ Roses at 3 hours and 2 minutes.

So, while you might pay a premium to see Taylor Swift, if you’re a fan looking for bang for your buck, Taylor Swift’s concerts are definitely worth the price.
